The rise of the GEEK

Finally, the world is waking up to how cool geeks are.
I stumbled across this nifty venn diagram that eloquently illustrates the different types of nerd (thanks @aussietony).

Source: www.greatwhitesnark.comMy suggestion to humankind - gravitate to geekiness. Geeks are the coolest type of nerd, and in today's knowledge-based economy, we need intelligent people to obsess about things.
I'd consider myself a coffee geek, mac geek, learning geek, speaking geek, ideas implementation geek...
and maybe even a warhammer and magic: the gathering geek.

As a consultant, geekiness is essential. 

The world needs specialists. And that means getting clear on your goals. 
What type of geek are you? What problems do you want to fix in the world, or what things do you want to enhance?

Think about enhancing your geekiness in a practical way that benefits others, and you'll already be three steps ahead in career clarity.

w00tus maximus!
