I was born in the year of the ColecoVision. This isn't that unusual or interesting until you factor in that my mother was a VP at Coleco at that time. OK, well, it's still probably not that interesting unless you're me and trying to figure out the defining moments that turned you into a "geeky" adult.

Veronica Belmont tells the story about how she grew up geek and hammers home one of my enduring points about geekdom: It's about obsessing about something enough to learn all you can about it. That's what a geek is, and the something is different for everyone.
