Welcome to the The Great Geek Manual! I’m your host, Pipedreamergrey, and this is the obligatory first post. What better way is there to end Halloween night than by launching a new blog?
By way of introduction, I’ll just say that I’m in my mid-twenties, I live in the United States, and my lifelong goal is to see closely I can fit myself into the Geek stereotype. My hobbies are exactly what you’d expect: a lot of surfing the net and playing video games, very little face to face interaction. One of my favorite hobbies is collecting “Geek History.”
What is Geek History, you say? It’s the study of the evolution of technology, that technology’s impact on culture, and culture’s impact on the evolution of technology itself. You’ll be seeing a lot of Geek History on this blog. I’ll be posting my own (original) “This Day in Geek History” entries everyday alongside other content of interest to Geeks.
In the coming months, I plan to deliver heaps of original content, including my own brand of Geeky humor, the latest in “Sci-Fi” science news, reviews of recent media releases, trivia, and much more. Each week, I’ll also be serving up a short directory of useful sites you may not have heard about. The list will have a different theme each week, such as: webcomics, legal torrents, free auctions, etc.
So tune in and enjoy!
