speaking of "you know when you're a 'geek'"...
i recently looked at getting a new ducati monster (street bike). i am up for a new job and if i get it plan on buying one for the summer...
so, my friends' (who's a system admin and fellow geek) father owns a auto body and machine shop...so he's really into cars and such...he has one of those professional systems used to customize cars...he had the specs and schematics for the ducati i was looking at and we began mapping a plan to gell mount a micro-pc (running freebsd) in the seat compartment and running a video cable up to a 3.5" or 5" lcd screen - the ones for watching dvd's in cars.
our plan is it mount an infra-red camera on the nose, display the vid on the little monitor, along with a full system for the bike - including mp3 server, bike diagnostics, gps mapping and all.
:)
now, you know you're sad and geeky when you start planning on modding a street bike with unix.
