One of my attorneys recently had a baby girl. He dodged telling anyone the baby's name at first, but finally admitted that they'd named her "River". Some of the other attorneys made fun of him for picking a "hippie name", but he insisted that it wasn't. Knowing that he's a bit of a closet geek, I asked, "Tam, or Song?" Turns out he didn't know who River Song was (yet), but that his daughter was in fact named after River Tam from "Firefly".
Tomorrow he goes on paternity leave for a few months, so this morning I left a little gift in his office. Two little "onesies" for his daughter. One says, "I can kill you with my brain." The other says, "My other onesie is a BROWNCOAT". Listening to him laugh as he opened them made it totally worthwhile. He knew I was behind them without even asking.
It's all about sharing the geek love, people.
geekery,
work
