For the hip and the stylish, the iPod is a symbol of ultra coolness standing on the bleeding-edge of minimalist fashion. For me, it’s the ultimate geek-o-box. This is the top-ten list of geekiest things I have on my iPod.

10. The entire five-book-trilogy of Douglas Adam’s “The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy” series, read by none other than Douglas Adam himself. Yes this is only the tenth geekiest thing. Read on.

9. The “other” Douglas Adam books, all read by his holiness. See…told you there’s more.

8. Stephen King’s “On Writing“, read by Stephen King. Only a serious geek-head would want to listen for many hours to the nasally whiny voice of Stephen King talking about his life, his traffic accident, and the finer points of writing a novel. “Avoid adverbs like a plague,” he admonished assiduously.

7. The soundtrack album of “Singing In The Rain“. If you think Gene Kelly is coolness personified, you are as geeky as I am.

6. “The 2003 BBC Reith Lectures: The Emerging Mind” in five parts with Vilayanur Ramachandran. So I’ve got a pain in all my dildos, uh, I mean diodes, down my left side…probably just a slight cross-wiring in my brain manifesting itself in some phantom electronics, all because as a school boy I suffered an electrocution while plugging some dildos, uh, I mean diodes, into a wall socket.

5. The entire Monty Python collection, sketches, songs, movies and all. Yeah, I know.

4. “Spock vs. Q,” a two-part stage drama recording performed by none other than Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie. Gee, how geeky can you get? Don’t worry, this is only No. 4.

3. The original “Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy Radio Drama” recordings as aired on BBC Radio 4 in 1978. Having the audio book series is one thing; having the original radio show recordings…now that’s true geekiness. The fact that I know about 1978 and BBC Radio 4, well, that’s beyond geekdom.

2. The entire collection of publicly available recordings of Richard Feynman’s “Lectures On Physics.” Yes I actually do listen to them. I have the books too. Scary isn’t it? To have the one and only Richard Feynman as your personal physics teacher…that’s a temptation no Übergeek can resist.

And now, the number one geekiest thing I have on my iPod is…

1. The entire Weird Al Yankovic collection. There you go, Y-O-D-A Yoda…yo yo yo yo yodaaaaaa….
