are you a joiner?

i admit it:  i have a need to belong.  mostly in geeky ways.  i consume memberships, i follow, and worst of all I PAY FOR IT.   i have a membership to cafe press, where any joiner can get his or her fill of tshirts displaying his or her current cause or obsession.  why do we feel the need to consume our own identities and display them for the world to see?

bazinga.  or, well, at least that's what my shirt says.  no seriously, from now on i'll label my musings (aka thoughts i share just because i can) as "bazinga".
