So, remember what I said about geeks, the other day?
About how they have no concept of "over-thinking" something, and how they compulsively try to connect ALL THE IDEAS to a single point of interest?
Well, a couple of weeks ago, I found "The PBS Idea Channel" on YouTube... I think it does, indeed, have some sort of official connection to the Public Broadcasting Service network... But it also seems to be a creative project of one dude (or small group of people...). Anyway, it strikes me as a very graphic embodiment of my own notions of Geekitude. Not only does he connect ideas explicitly, through speaking, he connects his speaking to an even wider range of cultural references through animated .gifs and rapid-fire still images (take that as fair warning). So, yeah: in my imagination, this is what geek-think looks (and sounds) like.
Just for fun, here's the most recent one:

I can see that... hard to really pay attention to all the geeky/nerdy details if you have to dodge other people's noises and demands.
And before the end of this month, a podcast with two geeks from Scotland rambling about all sorts of stuff should be available to share with the world. :)
