What Certifications do You Have?

Whether it be Windows, Linux, college, etc.
What kind of degree/certification do you have that makes you a computer guru/geek?
All I have is an associates degree in networking

I have a MOS Word Core certification. Not too bad for a high school freshmen. Also I'm the only freshman in advanced programming.
I don't have any formal certifications, well, most of what i know are what i've read. and if there are things that i don't know, i ask people who knows...

I stopped getting certs after A+ for awhile. The only reason I went for the A+ test is because my employer at the time paid for it. I was about 2 days out from taking all 6 MCSE tests when I cancelled it, for reasons that are too lengthy to post here.
The only Microsoft cert I have is an OEM cert, the MCPS (Microsoft Certified Preinstallation Specialist) which I got years ago when working for a small (now extinct) mom and pop chain (Apex Computers.)
Recently (about a month ago) I registered for both the Linux+ and the LPI Level I and II certs (LPI = Linux Professional Institute, http://www.lpi.org) just to see if I know enough about Linux (*cough*) to get them :)
Aside from that, I don't plan on going for any more certs for awhile yet. Not because I don't want them, but because I'm too busy to study/refresh for them. I probably *should* get more, like some of the other CompTIA ones (for starters) and some security-related certs, but I'm not one to look at how many letters follow someone's name.
I was going for a B.S. in "Telecommunications Management" at DeVry, but the travel involved, along with some other factors, made me rethink my educational goals. I'll be attending a local community college this Fall to get an A.S. degree in networking (well, I'll be paying a lot of money for the piece of paper...) just to use my G.I. Bill for something before it expires. Well, that, and because a lot of really hot chicks go there, and I need a girlfriend :)

If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked.

I don't currently have anything but I am working towards BTEC National in eMedia Production
I have a Macromedia certification in ColdFusion, and in May I'll have a bachelors in computer science and two minors: Psychology and Business Computer Information Systems.
In the future I plan on getting certified in MCSD, MCDBA, MySQL, and Sun Java Programmer. After I graduate, I'll take take the i-Net+, and after I pass that, I'm automatically qualified to get a CIW certification because their tests pretty much overlap. I just have to pay money, I forgot how much, and baddabing.
