Geekery in the Globe

I suspect this is making it's way around the blogosphere fairly efficiently, but for the locals who haven't seen it yet: Gundormr just pointed me at this article in yesterday's Globe. It's a brief celebration of Boston-area geekdom, mainly consisting of a long list of the various forms of geekery in the area. Intercon gets a mention (Nat was one of the people quoted), and the SCA gets most of a paragraph (with Shana as the quotee).

Nothing terribly new and different for most of the people here, but it's a useful summary to point folks at...

To give credit where it is due: most of my quote can originally be attributed to Eowyn. She and I worked at the MIT activities fair a few days before the interview request came in, and the pitch she made at prospective MITGaard members was fresh in my mind. In the original interview, I prefaced my remarks with "as a friend of mine says." Sadly, that appears to have been left out.
