This article describes most geeks broadly, but accurately. This is great for geeks/IT people to read to get an idea of how others can see them. But more importantly, everyone who knows a geek needs to read this. It is long, but it is so well thought out. It uses analogies that are both very funny and completely true.
Case in point:
"I think every good IT pro on the planet idolizes Dr. House (minus the addictions)."
Just read it.
