Are you a parent? And do you identify as a geek/nerd/etc.?

I'm a journalist looking for ye who has answered "yes" to both questions. Simply put, I'm working on a story about, well, geeks raising their children decades after "geek" could only be a bad kind of four-letter word.

I'd love to hear some of your stories. PM or email me! thomas.chan@journalism.cuny.edu

Side note: I was also an Omeganaut. Which is my way of saying, I'm one of you.

    Yes. As in, Omegathon. As in PAX. PAX 2008.

    That's the name of a contestant in the PAX Omegathon. It's been a feature of PAX for years.

    "Every PAX also features the Omegathon, a weekend long tournament of randomly selected attendees competing for a grand prize."

    Just so you know, this would probably be looked upon more kindly if you were already a participating member of the forum community. For the moment you're probably best off leaving your link with a brief explanation in your sig and participating normally, and you are highly encouraged to do so. As it is, you're soliciting information and not really offering anything in return.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
