i am a chemical engineering student. i know, i know; the stereotype is that i am a complete geek, nerd, socially awkward weirdo. i mean, come one, who gets excited about hydrogen bonding? who gets excited about the high heating value of water, ∆H of formation of propane, or mechanical and internal energy balances? who sees an integral or a partial differential equation with love and anticipation? i admit, i am quite the nerd. but really i am cool. really, most engineers are cool. talk to us; you will see. unfortunately, as i will explain, this is not the case for all engineers and tech gurus.
i was on the internet the other day searching for a father's day gift for my father. he, too, is an engineer. i thought he might like special cases to carry his blueprints. i came across these pictures. these pictures define geekiness. these pictures are the reason engineers get a bad reputation. do not judge us all because of a few; i beg you!!
yeah!! stylin' case.

maybe i need a couple of those for maggie and cash's room... maggie only knows presidents of the u.s. so far, we need to up the ante.
I always heard "You can't have a geek without the double E" (As in Electrical Engineer) But I married one so its not all bad being a geek. And I always bring plenty of physic phun! :) Erin-- I love the flash cards too... I'm going to make some for our schoolroom.
gEEk! hehe, that's a good one, Ash. But we all love Mike and Ash. So see Jonathan, you don't have to be afraid. Follow your inner Geek!
no no, people. don't misunderstand me. geek is not bad. learning is fun. science is fun. what i'm talking about is being totally oblivious to your geekness. if you are a geek, accept it. but when you think that geek and hot can be intertwined in a blueprint carrying case, you are totally wrong. i guess its the pose..."hey baby, see this blueprint carrying case? i got some hot plans in here!!"
