Fifteen years ago I was called a "geek" because I used the word "default" in a conversation. These days words like "default", "font", "Photoshop", etc. are a part of many average people's lexicon.

Bill Gates has talked about his goal of a computer on every desktop. As head geek, I wonder if his hidden agenda was to turn every human being on Earth into a geek.

Let me point y'all to a site an old friend put together many years ago...

http://www.geekchic.com

( I don't think Melinda has updated the site in a while, but I thought it was very creative. I was sure I'd go blind looking at the nude-nerd calendar, though... )

It is somewhere in the back, right around where it says it is okay to eat chicken with your fingers :)

wow, I think that it the second time I've sorta made a Father Guido Sarducci reference on this board - and I'm not really old enough to do that...
