Why isn’t there a “geeks anonymous” group around here? You know, something to help people with an unnatural interest in technology, cables, and sci-fi manage their habit? The kind of people who would buy a soldering iron just because they didn’t have one and might need to solder something one day…
“Hello. My name is xxx, and I’m a geek”
Geek-speak is about all the stuff that interests us, from television, to technology, to whatever else happens to be on our minds on any particular day. Enjoy… discuss… or not. It’s entirely up to you :)
Who’s who then?
Adam: My name is Adam Howie and I am a geek. I have been since before I knew there was a word for it. I have been into computer and technology for the better part of 20 years and science (since pre-school when I would watch Open University) where I have a particular passion for physics. Like many of my kin I am also a fan of sci-fi, from Aliens to Star Wars, Bladerunner to Space Balls. If all that is not geeky enough for you, I am also a gamer both of computer games but also board, card, and role playing games. Oh, and on-line I am better known by my pseudonym “Lurch Kimded”.

Chris: I’m nearly-30, married, with a baby daughter. I’m the pastor (officer) at The Salvation Army in Glenrothes, Scotland along with my wife, Dawn, but in my previous life I was a programmer and website designer. I’m mad on new technology (especially Apple), sci-fi (especially Doctor Who) and motorsport. I tend to post on a whole load of random stuff, purely because my interests are so wide!

John: Salvation Army Corps Officer who likes computers, Radiohead and F1. Lives and works with his wife Marta in Gainsborough UK.

Thomas (Headphonaught): I am a follower of God in the way of Jesus. I dig great beats, inclusive faith, innovative design, and a good cup o’ cha. I am big on Apple… open source ideas… new means of connecting with people… and exploring the wonderful ‘tinterweb. I am the official twitter correspondent here on geek-speak and hope to bring you the kind of kit that inspires me.
