It’s true that you’re better than me at most video games, but there’s no need to diss a timeless classic like Starcraft!

I remember I came across the site which title was "Mac Geekery" when I serched the word on the Internet. One of my best friends seems to deserve to be called a geek. He is a researcher at Matsushita and loves the Linux. I don't know exactly what the Japanese equivalent for "a geek" is. But I dare say the word "tatsujin(達人)" might be a bit better than Otaku. It also has a positive meaning, and everybody looks up to a tatsujin as a specialist/expert, whether he/she is a pro or not. Mark-san,

It's based on a chatroom, messageboard kind of writing style. If you know the show, you know what I'm talking about. Gee, I was afraid that if I ever the otaku myself haha. Way to go, Mark-kun! You do LOVE to write and your writings and I enjoy reading them too. おだく, 漢字は”御宅族”　There’s a very popular Japanese drama called “Densha Otoko(電車男, the train man)” which was extremely hilarious and it’s one of my favorite now!!

A geek is like an おたく, but geek has a more positive meaning than おたく. <b>Geeky</b> is an adjective; things that geeks like are geeky. <b>Geekery</b> is a slang word that means "geeky stuff". The "-ery" on a word usually means "__ stuff", like "trickery" is "tricky stuff", or a "forgery" is a "forged thing". Some geeks like Macs, but Unix and Linux are geekier. @Ivy: rock, paper, scissors :P @Kanwa-kyudai-san: A geek is a person who is very into computers, technology, math, or something like that.

I thought the whole this blog was in the greekery category. I've just read some of your greekery articles now, and I must admit they aren't my things. I don't even know the meaning of the word "greekery" to begin with. I couldn't find the word in my dictionariies and on the Internet. Is it a slang word among the young or something relates to Mac? I'm not a computer whiz and only know a little about HTML/FORTLAN. Oh, old FORTLAN! Don't laugh at me, please. I'm an old guy. Mark-san,

(It might come close if he got the protoss every time while I got stuck with the zerg, though.) So you might as well just give me the rights.
