@34 Chris, have you heard of geocaching and geohashing? GPS games – great outdoor geek activities. I do both of them on occasions, great fun

I’m going to have to take exception to “hatred of the outdoors.” I know a LOT of hikers, cyclists, climbers, and cavers who are most definitely geeks (myself included).

The history/politics corner was strangely missing any geek idols, not to mention blogging and Fark.

I don’t understand why it says “Programmer Geek” -> “Binary” but “IT Geek” has actual programming languages. Programmer’s rarely deal in binary (though I did at my last job but I was writing device drivers that many commenters here are probably currently using) and IT people rarely deal with programming.

There’s plenty missing from this picture – but that just goes to show how much there really IS in Geekdom. There’s no way it could be drawn on a single page.

P.S. Summer Glau? Hmmm, well yes. But it’s Kaylee who haunts my dreams. Something about a girl who can fix engines…
