They've come up with a virtually meat free tomato, that in general is virtually worthless, for anything other than novelty purposes. I imagine this hybrid was a lucky accident, because they're always trying to breed for denser tomatoes with less seeds and more flesh, while this one came out just the opposite.
You my lovely dear, are in a different catigory all to yourself. You can speak to just about any topic under the sun, it's horrifying how you know a little something about everything. You'll have long conversations about things that are much more foreign to me than tech jargon =)
I think it all depends on how well people know you. I've certainly seen the shy quiet act, but that's not how I experience you most of the time. I'm also guilty of being shy and quiet in situations where I feel out of my element, but no one who knows me well would ever accuse me of being either shy or quiet.
I've also seen you come out and fit in in a myriad of unusual situations, and you're are indeed always eager to share the esoteric knowledge you posses. I've always though cultural literacy was over rated, knowing enough about a subject to hold up one end of a conversation while contributing nothing of value is pointless. If we learn nothing aren't we just circulating air? Sound and fury signifying nothing? It's the unusual knowledge and ideas that make for the most interesting conversations I think.
I think having a hook to get into conversation with someone is valuable even if you don't start with something objectively new to contribute, because new ideas and thoughts come out of trading what you already have, and aside from that, everyone's perspective is different. It's not a zero sum game, and it's not even just a two-way exchange.
Ben Franklin is supposed to have said that the best thing people can do to start up a town, or develop an ecomony, is to ask for help. When you ask people for help, you start the process of everyone figuring out what people need and want, and what skills and resources people have to contribute. The value of those things lies mostly in the exchange of information about them than in the things themselves.
P.S. I'm not a computer programmer, and I'd rather talk about bicycles or alternative transportation, or guitars, or sex, or music, or food, or welding, or art than computers. I'm not really interested in tomatoes, but I wish you would help me with my daisies.

B) What kind of tomatoes would grow best in just outside NYC NJ?

And depends on what you want to use them for. Salads, sauces, sandwiches...
Also, check these out, not particular to NJ, but I always thought they were a cool concept:
