Not sure if there are a lot of them here but he wrote a pretty kick *** article about Geek Culture in Wired. Interesting read, if you've got 5 or 10 minutes I suggest checking it out.

Wake Up, Geek Culture. Time to Die

That was a pretty good read. Though he started to lose me near the end.

I tried to read it but all I could see was QQ I'm not original QQ

He does get a little long winded on his soap box, and I had to take a break half way through, but I do think it's a pretty good characterization of Geek and Nerd culture in 2010.

i read this article once and hated it.

WHITE BOY!!!! >

... I'm kidding .. Patton ain't for everyone.

I agree that "nerd"/"geek" culture has become.... what is the word... diluted? it has thinned out and become a shell of something it once celebrated. No longer is it impressive to have knowledge of something. Anyone can get a large dose of something very quickly and somehow automatically can claim fandom of something without truly being a fan.

Is it sad? Yes. Can it be changed? I don't think so.

The internetz aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
