Salutations!
It is I, once again, your friendly neighborhood geek - man, Keith! Madman Extraordinaire! (fanfare.wav)
Once again, I find myself writing on the greatest entity known to man other than Beer and the Star Wars extended universe, that's right, I'm blogging!
Today's topic is rather interesting. I will attempt to share my knowledge on the evolution of the modern Geek. In other words, the kind I call my own. But firstly, you (if you're still with me) might be asking yourself... What is "Geek"? Well, if you "wiki" (another Geek term right there, next to "google") it, you'll find that the term "Geek" comes from the German word "Geck" which means "Freak", although the modern word "Geek" was formerly used to describe "a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken, bat, snake or bugs", hence the derivation from the German word for "Freak". But today, what does it mean? What is Geek? How did Geek become Chic? What is to become of Geek? We'll have that and many more, right here on Keith: Madman Extraordinaire!

Welcome back. I'm Keith, Madman Extraordinaire and I'm here talking about all things Geek. Now, how did the modern Geek get to where he's at now? Speaking of which... What does Geek mean today? Geek can range from people who are adept to those are are simply considered an enthusiast or a hobbyist of certain fields, such as photography, computers, video gaming, electronics and the such, although Geeks are generally stereotyped to be "philes" or individuals that have a deeper understanding and knowledge of computers and all things electronic. That isn't entirely true, since a "computer geek" may find himself completely stupified when it comes to, say, AV (Audio Visual) Engineering or High End photography. Although as much as we'd like to lay claim to the fact that we're all around tech guys, truth is we aren't, but that doesn't stop us from expanding our knowledge, know does it, Geek boys?

Welcome back. I'm Keith, Madman Extraordinaire and we're all about Geek here on friendster. Now, what how far back does the history of Geek date back to? Well, I could go all the way to the founder of the Geek movement, the honorable "Og" who created fire, but we're really out of time. Next week, we'll be talking about, "Sun Tzu", the author of "The Art of War" (no, not the Wesley Snipes movie, but the treaty on Warfare). Now there's an idea. This guy practically invented the whole doodling genre... But we'll have all that next week... See ya soon, people.
FLYING DRAGON PUNCH! HIYAAAAAA!
