A friend of mine on Facebook installed "The official 100 Question Geek test" application. I must say that I never really considered myself as a "Geek" but after taking the test I think I need to change something. I am apparently 80% geekier than anybody on Facebook. Ouch! I think I better start to listen to some heavy metal or something.

Top 8 Geek vacation spots
Wired magazine has a great article on the best vacation spots for geeks. Here is their short list.
1 Tokyo
Akihabara — the ultimate red-light district for gadget fetishists.
2 Chernobyl, Ukraine
The highlight of the Chernobyl bus tour: Prypyat, a town whose 47,000 inhabitants had to split within 36 hours of the meltdown.
3 Palo Alto, California
Silicon Valley's ground zero
4 CERN
Jet to Switzerland and watch artisanal physicists actually make their own antimatter
5 Mauna Kea Observatory
Hawaii doesn't have to be
about boring activities like lying on the beach sipping mai tais.
Instead, rent a 4x4 and trek to Mauna Kea, one of the most striking
observatories on Earth.
6 Sidi Driss Hotel
Welcome to the underground dwellings that were Luke Skywalker's Tatooine home in Star Wars.
7 New Zealand
A tour of The Lord of the Rings' shot locations is as close as you're ever going to come to meeting Gandalf.
8 The South Pole
It costs around $5,000 and can be damn cold (minus 76 degrees Fahrenheit in winter)
