There’s no denying it: I’m a nerd. And there’s no denying it: you are too. But sometimes there are those junctures in your life where you stop and think “I’ve just taken this to a whole new level”. So what I want to know is what are the actions that lead to that realization?

My most recent one: with the advent of the Mac Pro, I’ve been spending a fair amount of time in XP playing The Sims 2. I admit, I like to build houses. But a transcendental moment of nerdery was reached when I started scouring back issues of Met Home for inspiration.

It may have also been when I thought that this would be an ideal tool for mocking up a house before taking it to an architect.
