Geek Dad has a list of one hundred skills that he thinks that every geek should know. A few examples:

26. Boot a computer off a thumb drive.
40. Transcode a DVD to play on a portable device.
71. Explain that the colours in a rainbow are roygbiv.
84. Know where your towel is and why it is important.
96. Have a documented plan on what to do during a zombie or robot uprising.
100. Get something on the front page of Digg.

26 Geekiest Wedding Cake Toppers

Posted by John Farrier in Food & Drinks on June 26, 2009 at 4:50 pm

io9 has pictures of 26 wedding cake toppers that geeks would enjoy, including Star Wars, Transformers, Stargate, Back to the Future, and zombie themes.

io9 uses the term “nerdiest”, but I pefer to be addressed as “geek”. The origin of the term — someone who would bite off the heads of chickens at carnival sideshows — seems a bit more fitting.
