Pardon the intrusion from a lurker geek. I can't resist.

"Geek" is NOT an insult (coming from a geek).

Here's a few explanatory blurbs from Santa Cruz:
geek.org
--------------------------

Geeks are nerds with social skills -- the kind of people who can spend our entire workday in front of a computer and come home to relax . . . in front of a computer.

In the geek community, friendships may begin on-line, but they are solidified in the real world. Often, these face-to-face gatherings are in the form of "food runs." Imagine 100 geeks converging on an all-night diner in the wee hours of the morning to feast on pancakes, coffee and inside jokes.

We're not a group of people who hide behind computers because we're afraid to meet other humans.

The unwritten geek credo states that originality and strangeness are good, and that blind conformity and stupidity are unforgivable.

I hope this helps.
