Lost... and finally found again.

One of those things that really needs to be passed around more often. I was quite disappointed when it was no longer showing up at the old URL, but I'm very glad to see that someone else archived it so I can bookmark it again. :)

Five Geek Social Fallacies

Unfortunately, it's not limited to just geeks. #4 seems to be the one with the widest distribution... which is sad, since it's probably the one most people grow out of first.

Happy Emotional Codependence Day, everyone! :D

I assert that there are certainly geeks for any soap opera you care to name.

My definition of 'geek' differs from Jason's: he wants to reserve the term to apply only to the forms of geekdom to which he subscribes; I suggest that any out-of-norm attachment to, and willingness to expound upon, any topic results in behavior that can be identified as geeking.

I can get behind that, but I disagree that most people have something that they have that much attachment to. Most people are just drones, IME. :p

Ever ask Joe Drone about last Sunday's questionable offsides penalty? Geekery is everywhere.
