    hmm... so what category does an engineer who doesn't play all those video games fall into? Is that nerd as opposed to geek?

    Geekery is too mainstream these days when everyone games, reads comics and plays on the computer. Hardcore geeks need to reclaim their geek credentials. You should at least code! Or, say, be a technology journalist...

    Thank you! I'm tired of hearing people say "I'm such a geek, I play WoW!" Umm, yeah... I earn my living making computers do complex things with numbers. I write programs people actually use. IMO, playing a game, or reading a comic does not make you a geek.

    Yes, this is very true. The problem with perception is that kids think that if they are "plugged in" then they are a geek.

    Agreed, but you do know that the normal nudists are the ones people wish would keep their clothes on, right? (says the dork who spends a lot of time around geeks.)

    Yes. You, my dear, are a nerd like I am. I am not an engineer, but I do circle typos in books and have a 5-year budget planned out by week.
    I also don't play video games.

    I think we need our own holiday.

    I'm thinking us IT Geeks, and all Geeks, should get the day off paid. Plus officially sponsored movie marathons of the extended cut Lord of the Rings movies, micro-brews, and pizza. Then tomorrow we regret the whole thing after seeing out calorie intake and hit the gym.
