I love outdated technology - everything about it: how it looks, how it sounds, even how it smells. (Nothing beats the musky aroma of a dusty Apple II's fan blowing right in your face after a long game of

Perhaps it's my discomfort with tattoos in general, but I'm just too chicken to consider getting an HP meter tattooed across my chest. How would I explain this to my mom? My children? Co-workers? Do you

Nevertheless, it's fun to pop around the internet and have a look at the
nerdiest tattoos you can find:

If you happen to have a ridiculous video game tattoo that you're especially proud of, please
inform me! I'll make you an internet celebrity!
