Hugh on geeks

One of my favourites from my pal Hugh…and very timely for me as I head to Seattle on Saturday. Hugh’s words that went with this in his daily email connected well for me.

 

Having spent so many years either in or around geek culture, I am often surprised when I meet people who dread the future. While geeks see the future as full of neat-o stuff like cooler phones, more powerful computers and semi-affordable space travel, a lot of other people just see rising gas prices, political uncertainty and jobs being moved over to China.

Sure, geeks are a funny lot. But at the end of the day, they're optimists. I think you have to be.
