The best part about this article is the picture at the top, in which George Lucas is seen wearing a “Han Shot First” t-shirt. Brilliant. (Also, “Han” is in the picture.)

A bunch of geeks are apparently trying to upstage the Free State Project.
Silicon Valley Nerds Plan Sea-Based Utopian Country to Call Their Own
“A group of super-rich Silicon Valley nerds are sick of the man keeping them down. That’s why they’re planning to create their own sea-based country made up of floating structures that will be similar to oil rigs, but with houses and offices rather than, you know, oil rig stuff on board. And this isn’t some conceptual plan; they’re looking to have their first prototype in the San Francisco Bay within two years.”
System Administrator Appreciation Day
“Friday, July 29th, 2005, is the 6th annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. On this special international day, give your System Administrator something that shows that you truly appreciate their hard work and dedication.”
“Let’s face it, System Administrators get no respect 364 days a year. This is the day that all fellow System Administrators across the globe, will be showered with expensive sports cars and large piles of cash in appreciation of their diligent work. But seriously, we are asking for a nice token gift and some public acknowledgement. It’s the least you could do. Consider all the daunting tasks and long hours (weekends too.) Let’s be honest, sometimes we don’t know our System Administrators as well as they know us. Remember this is one day to recognize your System Administrator for their workplace contributions and to promote professional excellence. Thank them for all the things they do for you and your business.”
Have you shown your appreciation
for your system administrator today?
I Prefer “Geek”
Thanks, A Saintly Salmagundi, for sharing this with your readers. I’m not sure I really trust the results, though. I’m far too lazy to be a nerd. 😉
The 33% Solution
Some of the questions in this test of geekdom might fit better in a test of nerddom.
Trust m; there’s a difference. Anyhow, apparently I’m only 33% geek. That would
probably come as a bit of a shock to my friends. 😉
