Today is Geek Day! According to Nerdc, May 25th is Geek Pride Day in homage to “Towel Day” for fans of Douglas Adams‘ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” and the May 25th, 1977 release of “Star Wars.” Wired reported on a 2012 survey by IT recruitment agency Modis commissioned on Americans around the term geek, and Wired says that Geeks are becoming even more acceptable.
Cosmo even says that geeks are great relationship fodder as well (Yes a Cosmo link on Bach Seat). Remember to remind your users of all of this geek love next week, when they are screaming at you about another SPAM message getting through or when they need a file restored yesterday because they deleted it.
