Strive Notes

There was a time when the term geek was seen as derogatory and was certainly not meant as a compliment.  It was usually applied to people who demonstrated few social skills, regardless of their level of intelligence, or those who were enthusiastic about a particular subject — typically related to science and technology.

But, as is the nature of language, the meaning of the word geek has changed over the years. I am told the term dork is now more commonly applied to social introverts and geek has come to mean something quite different.

And so it is with respect and affection for my geeky friends that I have compiled a list of gift suggestions to help make every tech enthusiast’s holiday special. Click here to read my Christmas shopping list in this week’s Isle of Man Examiner.
