1. During a 2.5 hour dentist appointment, you spend 2 hours thinking about student collaboration projects with Google Docs.
2. At an In The Flesh Concert (local Pink Floyd cover band), you wonder how people are "connected" (like the facebook graphic)
3. You have accounts for Thinkfree, Zoho, and Google Docs, you login weekly to check for updates.
4. Each year you use different presentation technology, and you say that "PowerPoint is for the dinosaurs."
5. You are eagerly awaiting HTML 5.
6. You look at the source code of fellow instructor's webpages.
7. 95% of your feeds in Google Reader are web/education related.
8. Students call you a computer geek.
