How were you introduced to the bitcoin world?

I learned about bitcoins a couple of weeks ago when listening to an article on a cell phone app.  I am relatively into current events/politics/tech (though admittedly not as technically proficient as the majority on this forum - I thought I was such hot sh*t rooting my cell a few months ago...cute) so I was surprised that it took me so long to stumble across an in-depth write-up about the new currency.  How did the rest of you guys first hear about this?  Friends?  Boards?  Serious connections?  Just curious as I head into my second hour...

Internet article half year ago, wish it was a lot sonner though
