July 13: Embrace Your Geekness Day

July 13 was 'Embrace Your Geekness Day'.

According to HolidayInsights.com,

'Embrace Your Geekness Day is a great day to be a Geek. Or, to know a Geek.

A geek is an individual who is highly intelligent (brainy) and technically oriented. They are most often associated with the computer, and computer systems world. A geek is usually formal, studious and into his technical world, often to the exclusion of all else. A geek is closely related to a "Nerd". A nerd however, may or may not possess technical expertise.

Some people view the term "Geek" with a negative connotation. Are they jealous of your knowledge and skills, perhaps? We certainly think so.

Enjoy Embrace Your Geekness Day to the fullest. Spend plenty of time with your computer. Talk computer lingo and jargon. If you are a geek, stand tall and proud. Isn't it great to be so brilliant and gifted!?'

CNN also run a report titled 'Geeks: smart, harmless, authentic, exploited?'


To my dear sister:

Happy Belated Embrace Your Geekness Day!
