Geeks are generally somewhat obsessive or very knowledgeable in one particular area. You might even say they know “way too much” about the topic for any kind of practical application (e.g. memorizing about 500 digits of pi, or appreciating the subtle differences between versions of the Starship Enterprise).
During the upcoming holiday season, people will be out shopping for perfect gift. Finding something perfect for the ‘Geek’ out there can be a pain in the backside to figure out. Do you have a geek to geek in your life? Maybe a blogger that would like to go pro? If so, then I’ve got a few gift ideas for you.
