Are you a member of a geek industry?

There have been moments in which I know I belong to a special set of geeks. I never realized the span of it until I started following the Society of News Design’s SND28 Blog this past weekend. It’s the big design industry contest, and I have never had the guts to enter it. It’s so competitive.

Anyway, what I have been thrilled with/disturbed by the most is the multiple outlets this contest judging has had. The coverage is in a blog, in flickr tags and on YouTube. Before, newspapers were threatened by the growing presence of the Internet, but now the industry is embracing. That’s a good thing.

Now, why is it so geeky? Did you check out the video link to the Los Angeles Times’ three-mile entry? Total geekdom.

Heck, I’ll be in a sea of these people next month, so I should prepare myself for that.
