Does using freeware vector software to make an avatar count as geeky?
The BBC website has an article asking whether geek and nerd are now positive terms, well what exactly is a geek? It would be very easy at this point to reach for a dictionary. Well not physically, I can see it on the bookshelf but it’s out of reach…and I’m comfy. I suppose I could check the dictionary app on my iPod, or google it from the widget on my android phone. I could even just check it on the internet on my Linuxed netbook that I am typing this on.
Hmmm. That does give a good idea of what a geek is, or at least how we are perceived by non-geeks. Tot o them we are the techy ones, all computers and calculators. There is often some truth in that, technology is synonymous with geekdom, but there is often much more to it than that.
