50 Reasons to Date a Geek
I've seen this article plastered on the web over the last few years, I figured I'd have to have it here. Credit goes to whoever has written it in the first place, whoever that may be (possibly Jessica Merritt). However, the site I found it on said it was posted on September 28th of this year... which is highly unlikely. I have seen this gem at least two years ago, which is why I have no problem copying it integrally here. However, credit goes where credit is due, and the oldest occurence of this article I found was over at 10bestfreedatingservices.com, which aside from having the lamest domain name and probably only using their blog for link building, carries the article.
In the dating world, geeks are often overlooked. However, many geeks are what you might call a diamond in the rough. Geeks make excellent boyfriends, girlfriends, and spouses. Although many of these are generalizations, we’ve found 50 reasons why geeks have a lot to offer the dating world.
Tech
Dating a geek means opening up a whole world of awesome technological abilities.
1. A geek can fix your computer: If you’ve managed to screw something up on your computer, your geek will be happy to come to your rescue, and will probably find a solution that will ensure you won’t have the same problem again.

The thing I hate the most about advertising
The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us with mainly the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little.

Typography is so cool
I didn't know the first thing about typography two years ago, but since seeing two videos (after the jump), I really started liking it. According to Wikipedia (and Wikipedia is always right),
Typography is the art and techniques of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs. Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), letter-spacing (tracking) and kerning.
