Geekpride

Geek:

• A person who is interested in technology, especially computing and new media. Geeks are adept with computers, and use the term hacker in a positive way, though not all are hackers themselves.
• A person who has chosen concentration rather than conformity; one who passionately pursues skill (especially technical skill) and imagination, not mainstream social acceptance.

I found this definition, quoted from Wikipedia, on the website of The Society for Geek Advancement, a site where you can watch and embrace being a geek.

Shira Lazar wrote about it, and also about people tweeting about their Geek Pride.
With so much advertising about the coolness of being a Geek, the paradox is that being a geek is obviously the same as being a “normal” person – not to say a petty, bourgeois, middle-class, mediocre person.

Being a geek means being so interested in something that you don’t care whether or not it’s cool.
