Geek

It is no well kept secret that I am a big nerd. Enginerd, to be precise. Thus I was excited to hear my pastor use a metallurgy illustration in his sermon past Sunday. The use of heat to purify silver is indeed quite analogous to how God uses trials to purify our lives. God is the ultimate metallurgists, and I felt a slight pride (in a good way) to have been associated with such profession.

And today, I discovered a must-have accessory for March 14, The National Pi Day.

Behold, the Pi Dish:

Now that is just too cool...

To be a geek, I believe, is to enjoy the finer things in life to its fullest extent. Such as baking pies in a pi dish. And thinking that if you had an oven that went up to 962°C or 1764°F you could also enjoy purification of silver in the comfort of your own home.
