Well, the perceived enemy by some anyway. For the next week then I'll be in San Diego at the ESRI conference. I have already put some white tape on the sides of my glasses and have been studying the laughs of those by repeated watchings of "Revenge of the Nerds". I wonder what else that I will need to be watchful of not to out myself to them as a Surveyor.
Oh. Yeah. Wearing apparel. I have a t-shirt that says "I'm Spatial"... 🙂
Deral- Fixing to road trip in the morning.
Hope you have a safe trip, on the road and there.
A pocket protector for your tee shirt???
Have a safe trip sir. 🙂
Pocket protector. Oh how could I have forgotten that nice touch? Thanks
Don't forget the snort during and after the laugh.

I have that down pat. No worries.
You need to drink lots of mountain dew or dr. pepper and eat lots of doritos to be really geeky.
Don't say "Fixin" or "Fixing", as in "Fixing to road trip in the morning"
It's a dead giveaway.

I'm worried that I'm going to say "It depends"
Deral... I've used the "I'm spatial" phrase for years... Most as a play on the southern accent of "I'm special", but also being punny as to the fact that I'm a big guy and take up space (I'm spatial).
Do they make a Travel version of Dungeons & Dragons?

I dunno but I will be walking around with my iPad. That has geek status written all over it. As long as I don't stand up in any of the programs and shout "GIT IT SURVEYED" then I think I can fool them.
Deral
May the attributes be with you, Deral. Go forth and conquer.
Northern.
I am after all going to California so I'm a little bit on edge. If any of the folks in the booths say to me "Come over and look at my NAD's"...Then by golly, they better be talking about 83 or 27 and not something else. 🙂
Or else I'll show them a transformation.

Hey, Deral, enjoy San Diego; a beautiful place.
Having your Ipad will be the geek equivalent of showing a lighter to a remote Polynesian tribesman, you will take on God-like status.
Hunter.
I'm worried about losing it to Special K. 🙂
Let's rock that place to open in up on Saturday.

I have a sponsor of sorts. Staying with MLB so I'm not going to be alone in the world. Heck. I love everywhere that I have traveled. All the spots have some neat things to see and do.
I'm just worried that while I'm there we will fall into the ocean or all the buildings will fall on our heads.
No worries. All my Cali friends worry about tornadoes when they come to visit me.
I figure the odds are okay.
The google pictures of the ocean are pretty nice so I'm expecting a very nice visit.
Deral
Down a shot every time you hear the word "basically".
Snort when you see a pocket protector.
I hate to tell you this, but you can't hook up nor flirt with any of the women. Just stare at them, but quickly look away if they look at you. Do not make eye contact.
