There's your general, low-level, geekiness...and then there's the level of geek where you find yourself getting way too excited by the prospect of being able to color-code all of the black cables in your bag. I blame it on the fact that almost every cable I use comes in basic black...which is great if you're looking for a dress...but irritating beyond belief when you want to hook up your external hard-drive but can't figure out which cable you need...
