Mmm, it seems my reaction is a little late, but even then I just stumbeld upon your post right now. I really really sympathise with you, Roy. Especially when you're describing people's faces telling them to what you're listening. Well, actually something like the same happened to me. A couple of weeks ago I got onto Carl Franklins site by accident, and of course was referred to .NET Rocks. Well, I downloaded a show which looked interesting, put it on a memory stick and took it home. Then, some night during the weekend I put on my PC's little speakers, to enjoy some Carl and Rory. It's quite nice listening to this talk show, and learning something work related in the process; just when you're surfing away. But well, at the end of the night my wife came up to see what I was doing, and definately had this strange smile on her face. I couldn't figure if she did her best to keep from laughing, or just thought it was something natural for a person like me to do, be it a little weird. On my TODO list is grabbing more shows somewhere the next weeks. And well, as to my geeky fellow collegues, I didn't bother to confess yet, afraid of more stares and frowns.
