Are You "Geek" Orthodox?

Ways to tell if you are "Geek" Orthodox.  If you're wondering, I've pretty much nailed the whole list.....  Fr. B

1)  If you've thought about (seriously) the prospect of "Face time" as an alternate way to have a private confession, you might be a Geek Orthodox.
2)  If you maintain your parish's web site, and surf to find those better to implement their ideas, you're probably Geek Orthodox.
3)  If you've sought spiritual counsel from a priest via e-mail, you're definitely Geek Orthodox.
4)  If you regularly text with your priest, you're both Geek Orthodox.
5)  If your priest is #6 in your speed dial list, right after your family and the local lunch stand, you're probably Geek Orthodox.
6)  If you've ever served an Akathist by downloading the text from the web (because there weren't enough books to go around), you're absolutely Geek Orthodox.
7)  If you've noted the major Feasts and Fasts in your cell phone's scheduler, you're absolutely Geek Orthodox.
8)  If you finish Morning Prayers every day by launching the on-line application from your iPad that shows saints of the day so that you assure that you commemorate them all, you're hopelessly Geek Orthodox.
9)  If you've searched the web for the formula to calculate the date of Pascha, you're likely Geek Orthodox.
10) If you've then taken that formula and written it into an Excel Spreadsheet so that you can enter any year, future or past, to find Pascha, you're beyond hope a Geek Orthodox.
