Welcome to Growing Up Geek, an ongoing feature where we take a look back at our youth and tell stories of growing up to be the nerds that we are. Today, we have our very own Contributing HD Editor, Ben Drawbaugh.
Unlike many adults I knew growing up, I don’t think being a kid is easy. Maybe it is for some, but growing up geek in the small hick town of Clewiston, Florida means you learn you’re a geek the hard way. This story of struggle turned out great, though, and now I wear that geek badge proudly as it’s no doubt the secret to my success in almost every facet of my life.

Today is turning out to be a great day for the Android set, what with news of the Google / Moto deal and now — HTC’s unleashing its bootloader unlock tool for the masses. That’s right, the company’s Taiwanese team of engineers flipped the switch on the service that sees owners of a global SIM-unlocked Sensation working their way towards OEM-sanctioned root access. Unfortunately, stateside owners of the phone’s T-Mobile variant, as well as the EVO 3D, will have to sit back and wait while further testing is conducted on their devices. So, what are you ROM fiends waiting for? Head on over to HTC’s developer site and let us know your success in the comments below.

So, here’s a refreshing change of pace. Rather than a new set of cans coming with a superstar’s name on them, Sony’s just fine with its four-lettered label. And given the success of the Walkman, we’d say it’s still elite enough for now. The aforementioned outfit is debuting a trio of new headphones over in Japan, with the MDR-XB1000 cans offering enhanced bass and a certain level of street-cred to those who prefer over-the-ear styles. As for the other two? The MDR-XB41EX and MDR-XB21EX earbuds are both high-end affairs, with unique designs and a rainbow’s worth of color choices. Pricing remains up the air, as does the chance for these to head stateside. But hey, there’s always hope.
