What is it to be a geek? It's to be interested in a blinding, mind-numbingly large set of unrelated, seemingly related, seemingly unrelated and related things. Read a 100+ page thesis on the "Slang of students at IITM" one hour, "Guidelines For a Space Propulsion Device Based on Heim's Quantum Theory" the next. Rejoice in the interconnectedness of all things!
A Geek by any other name. Talk to me for a few minutes about anything, has the conversation turned to a geeky level of detail yet?
I hope to achieve Geek-Moksha, the location of which I have not yet discovered.
And always remember, as G.B. Shaw said, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."
