Busy, busy, busy.
So a few of us have been working on a new community site geared specifically towards geeks. The site is still being developed, but the forums are up and running and the official blog is only days away.
Check it out at zengeeks.com. A bit of a warning though, this community is not for everyone. It’s for the geekiest of geeks, e.g., TWiT fans, digg fans, gamers, coders, technology enthusiasts, sci-fi fans, movie buffs, web 2.0 geeks, cyberculturists, Mac heads, hardware freaks, modders, podcasters, bloggers, internet junkies….
If you don’t have an interest in at least one of the above topics, then save yourself a trip. You would most likely die of severe geek shock. In fact, just to be safe, I set up a little geek test for you below. See how you do. Don’t cheat!
You must know one or more of the following people (and if they’re fictional or real):
- Joss Whedon
- Steve Wozniak
- Leo Laporte
- Kara Thrace
- Kevin Rose
- Boba Fett
- John Carmack
- Gordon Freeman
- Linus Torvalds
- Kevin Mitnick
You must know what two or more of the following stand for:
- LotR
- IBM
- BF1942
- HTML
- USB
- RSS
- WoW
- 1337
- HTTP
- BIOS
You must understand and accept the following:
- The internet is not a series of tubes.
- Web 2.0 is not the next version of the web.
- When someone tells you they’re in a clan, don’t assume they’re racist.
- Star Wars Episodes 1, 2, & 3 suck!!
- A hacker is a programmer, not a pimply faced kid in his basement trying to break into your computer.
- Never use the term “l33t haX0r” in a sentence, written or verbal, unless to tell people never to use the term “l33t haX0r” in a sentence, written or verbal.
Was that so bad? If you think you did half way decent then head on over, register a user name, create a profile, and start geeking out. The more the merrier. The more the geekier. 
Sorry, I had to say it.
