New Geek Mutation.

I'm not sure if this is a new species of geek like this article claims or merely a result of the economic demand for more multi-disciplinary individuals.

I don't have a business degree, but I'm that renaissance geek. I get employed because I know computers and I know writing/publishing. the computer science "Degree" is not a requirement as far as I'm concerned. Experience counts for a heckuva lot more in the practical world

I thought renaissance geeks wore doublets, funny boots and or/ corsets with lots of cleavage  while speaking in faux elizibethan accents and eating chili dogs at the local SCA meeting.

I use to think that a renaissance geek was what you discribed, Jeffe, but apparently, it is E.

Somethings I didn't want to read. E, does your wife know about your bodice? It just doesn't sound like something that she would approve of.

I think I'm a new breed of geek... what do you call someone who exhibits most manner of geeky tendencies(videogames, comics, accounting liscence at 17) but who also expresses jock tendencies(track, baseball, martial arts) and then expresses intelectual tendencies(reads unassigned books, studies unassigned subjects) and lastly expresses popular tendencies(Weekends in LA, nightclubs, social events)...what in gods name am I!?
