Venn Diagram Explains Geeks, Nerds, Dorks, and Dweebs

GeekSugar — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 01:47:30 PDT

Obviously, I don't think that "geek" is an unflattering term or characteristic. After all - geek is chic, right? Seems like a creative brain at GreatWhiteShark feels the same way. Check out the Venn diagram below that helps the tech-slang unsavvy navigate the difference between the confusing terms "geek," "nerd," "dork," and "dweeb."

Apparently "geek" is at the intersection of "intelligence" and "obsession" - hey, I'll take it! Does the word "dweeb" make anyone else think of '90s-era sitcoms?

Wear Your Geek on Your Tee!

It's been almost a year since I last told you to wear your geek on your tee, but instead of going all mushy on you, I thought I'd tone down the Valentine's Day love and just fork over a group of geeky tees I just can't get enough of. You're welcome.

Who's Your Favorite Eco Geek?

GeekSugar — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 07:33:45 PDT

In honor of Earth Day, I was originally going to offer up my favorite eco geek and feature them in their own post. But once I got digging, I really couldn't decide on just one! Sure, the term "geek" may apply to more than gadgets in this case, but not only are these ten people lovably geeky in their own right, they all have one thing in common: they're passionate about our planet! Check out some of my favorite eco-minded geeks, and then be sure to vote for your favorite on the last slide!

Nerd Alert!

This Halo kid is either going to be the coolest kid in school when this vid goes viral, or he's going to have to assume another identity unless he wants his ass to get kicked. (Thank god the Internet didn't exist when I was a child.)

Thanks, College Humor!

Wired's Geekster Handbook: Which Kind of Geek Are You?

GeekSugar — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:45:27 PDT

This month's Wired brings you their take on the geek hierarchy - remember when we surmised that there were many different types of geekdom? Well, Wired agrees, and they've offered up six types of geek: The Fanboy (classic Star Wars/Simpsons lover and defender), the Music Geek (think Rob Gordon from High Fidelity), the Gamer (your thumbs are always sore), The Gadget Guy (3G + iPhone = drool), the Hacker (fears the sun), and the Otaku (all Manga, all the time).

Do you fall into any of the categories, or are you a different kind - or a hybrid geek?

Wii Belong Together: Chocolate Miis For Valentine's Day

YumSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 09:13:33 PST

If you've got a chocolate loving sweetie who happens to be a bit of a geek, then these Chocolate Miis ($14.95) will be right up their alley. Created by the folks at Paul Pape Designs, these geeky chocolate icons are available in both white and milk chocolate and come in three different pairings: boy/girl, boy/boy, and girl/girl. They're also packaged in a Wii-style box bearing the words, "Wii belong together you and Mii." They would be absolutely perfect for Valentine's Day, but I think they're sweet for any day.
