Went to an Earth Hour candlelight BBQ last night and ended up having one of those late night conversations about 'what is a geek?' and 'who is a geek?'  
  
I'd never really thought about it like that before & so have been pondering notions with Twitterbuds this morning. But am very interested in what other people define a geek as, and who they think is a geek.
