Just a quick note.
I recently had a conversation with geeks and shall i say that geeks are really funny.
Picture your self editing a word document with three others all at the same time in separate computers. Thanks to Google Docs you can actually do that. If an entire line gets deleted, it’s just too funny to trace who did it. I had the most hilarious time. Forget the paper trail and the “track changes” function of Word and edit while you laugh! There is this theory by one decoder that 10,000 BC was written using google docs with several people simultaneously editing!
Geeks also like talking about why they disagree! isn’t that funny? Conversation is always interesting. If i were a geek, i’d come up with a hotline and this would be my tagline. “If your day is dull, just dial G-E-E-K and you’ll laugh your blues away.”

I absolutely love your suggestions fool. I mean, aside from having a geek website, a geek hotline, why not try having a geek library (though it may sound redundant) and a geek cafe while you’re at it. It is also fun to put together things that don’t fit like geekiness and physical play like a geek triathlon or something like that. Totally amazing.
This reminds me of that old joke that if you put a group of monkeys in a room with a typewriter they will eventually re-create all the works of Shakespeare at random.
Actually, it reminds of some real life experiences of group fiction writing. The idea is to use everyone’s best skills to create the best work, but with so many different visions you usually end up with a incongruous mess.
I enjoyed this blog entry very much.
