Thing is…both terms “geek” and “nerd” have evolved from what used to be the pocket protector smarties of days gone by who were shuned into the basement with thier fiction and love of cling-on dictionaries. When being smart became cool, Bif and Moose from the football team took a back seat socially to the tech smarties who were suddenly getting dates and party invites. No need for D&D anymore, and the trekie outfits and Capt Kirk posters got packed away. What Matt should said is geeks “having high intellects, embracing technology, makes a good living, goes to all the parties and has lots of toys. It’s the new geek, the empowered geek, the …Metro Geek!

I tend to think of the sci-fi quotient in more of the “nerd” category (no offense implied). I also wouldn’t necessarialy trust a random sample of dudes at a Star Trek convention to administer my server.

Clearly Matt has no clue what a geek is and should come out of his mums basement to see what’s up.
