Why did the trendy steal our geek thunder? It’s now so cool to be a geek that geeks aren’t even geeks anymore. We’re without a word or catagory now. The new geeks aren’t into D&D or computers. The new geeks just wear large framed black glasses and have a blog. We real geeks now need a new word or we need to steal back the old one. I’d go with nerd but it’s too deprecating and nasty sounding.
