Yes, but what sort of geek?
This morning was 53°F in the cabin. When I awoke I didn’t need to crawl out into the cold to open the curtains and check the local weather because I could use my iPhone to access my server in St. Louis, that displays data from my server in Reston that de-NATs the server in Wisconsin so I can download live video from the webcam looking out from the front of the cabin.
A different sort of geek might have built a heater.
