I like the general things. Food, cars, technology, etc, but my interests actually lie in what makes each of those things run. This is the reason I can't stop watching when Good Eats with Alton Brown is on, or why my homepage is set to Engadget, or why the show "how it's made" is on my DVR.
Unlike many people, when I get a new gadget (cell phone, drill, vacuum cleaner) I don't leave the manual in the box to be discarded. I read it. What are the specs? How fast is the processor? How do I take it apart?
Come to think of it, maybe I'm more like a kid. Always asking "how's that work?" or "what's that made of?" but when you think about it, most kids are nerds anyway. So I'll stick with nerd.
I'm OK with that.
