This is an ex-parrot.


Wired's GeekDad has compiled a list of 100 essential skills for geeks.  I'm hopelessly lacking in the technical / technology department, but I know where my towel is and I do actually own a cricket bat.  So at least I'm prepared for the zombiepocalypse.  How many can you claim?

  1. Kinda lame list IMO. too many "repeats" like 1-4, could be combined into 2 or even a single entry. and some of these are beyond standard geek stuff, like building a webserver and website, using vi, no less. and some are just ridiculous, like #19. Also, minimal sci-fi references, no anime, no Cons. Weak. We should come up with a better list.

  2. Number 19 should be, "I came up with a list of how this list FAILs".
    I am also up for the challenge of creating a TRUE geek list. We need to discuss the categories of geekdom though. I suggest: Computer know-how, Sci-fi and fantasy, anime and comics, Roleplay, Costumes, and Cons, and Fetish collection. Now we just need 20 examples of each...
