OnceUponAGeek©I find myself to be of the geek tribe. Technology, gaming, fantasy, and sci-fi are some of the major areas of my interest. Not a day comes by without me looking at a hardware piece on Newegg, or watching a TV series like Doctor Who or Eureka, or playing some game with my friends online. Although being a geek or a nerd wasn't and probably still isn't a popular choice of association, with the advances in the technology, the culture is growing bigger and becomes more relevant. Celebrities like Mila Kunis, Vin Diesel, and Robin Williams are known to play World of Warcraft, which is primarily associated with geeks or nerds. It may not be "cool", but I'm proud to be one of the many, I'm glad to be geek.
Besides the obvious media hub, PC, I also extensively use my smartphone as one. Listening to music, an audiobook or a podcast, reading news or magazine articles, or watching YouTube videos are essential parts of my "on the move" part of the day. Often I listen to podcasts from SModcast network, run by Kevin Smith, in which he and his friends discuss a lot of what goes on in the world of movie and TV industry. Thanks to him I learned a great deal about media industry, and formed an opinion towards certain topics, in which I was not interested before.
