I've put together 14 high-quality original podsafe instrumental tunes from my Penmachine Podcast into a CD album you can buy. It also includes a bonus data DVD with a bunch of cool stuff that isn't on this website. Find out more...
A few weeks ago my wife asked whether computery types like me thought that "geek" was still an insulting term. I was surprised, since as far as I was concerned, "geek" long ago turned into a term of endearment in the tech community. (She asked me after I referred to myself as a geek on this website.)
But it seems that the argument continues. I think that "nerd" now sounds passé, very 1980s, while "geek" is the current thing techies call ourselves. This store isn't thinknerd.com, after all. (And, appropriately enough, thinknerd.com is "Forbidden" when I visit it.)
