Actually you conjure up the image of a hacker from the 70s. Kind of a cross between Steve Wozniak and Richard Stallman. I'm not sure why, I have no idea what you do for a living. That's just what I think when I see you.
Of those two options, I'll take 'aging hacker' over 'flaming figure skater.'

By day, I write technical documentation for hardware and software. By night, I slip on the cape and mask and manage the staff over at 4x4Wire.com.
