Tja, bald ist er wieder. Der Tag, auf den alle Blumenhändler warten. Valentinstag. Ich mag ihn nicht. Meine Freundin auch nicht. Also lassen wir ihn ausfallen.
Ich glaub, ich habe dazu auch schon mal was geschrieben…
Jedenfalls habe ich gerade einen Guide gefunden, wie man als Geek diesen besonderen Tag übersteht. Und da ich selber ein erwiesener Geek bin möchte ich euch den nicht vorenthalten …
Valantines if you do have someone
Take the whole damn day off if you can
You bloggers and super geeks do the post the night before or let the whole thing hang for a day. Power down the PC, the PDA, the iPhone, iPod, Fruit Flavoured Super Phone and every other technology driven communications device.
Okay geeks take it steady. Deep breathing. You are not going to die.
Then free of all technology and incoming calls invest every energy and minute you have in paying attention to your significant (and potentially less geeky other) as if he or she were the arrival of a new start up that could threaten all of Facebook, Twitter and Google in one go.
Find out what she likes most and do it
Consider getting from the antiques collection a thing called a pencil and another called paper (you might have seen it around the office) and take notes when you ask you love what they care about most. What their greatest passions are. What sort of things makes them want to jump out of bed in the mornings.
Try not to turn this into a “why don’t you blog” sales method.
In short make the day about her (or him, or it or whatever – it’s a crazy world out there).
Watch her choice of movie
You can do this geek couple style on the digital entertainment set up you built (you did that right?) or you could go out and join other people (lots of other people) and see something on the big screen.
Renting movies can be done geek style with the PC and Internet connection days before the event (like now, for example).
More advice if you do have someone
Seriously this is where you go bug Chris Parillo and let him answer some questions. I’m clearly not qualified to talk about everything and everyone know Chris is a quality long term relationship geek. The last time I checked he’d hooked up an offer for free flowers.
