Portrait of the Artist as a Young Geek

I'd be interested in reading this if you wind up going through with it (the reason I said "but only if you post it here" is because I have the attention span of a goldfish, and will probably forget about it otherwise. *laughs*) My friends list is scarily left (a lot of American GLBTetc folks, go figure), but even though I tend to lean that way I'm interested in what's going on on the other side of the fence, because (unlike a large portion of my friends list, I'm afraid) I refuse to believe that 50% of America is either completely stupid and/or completely duped by "propaganda". (See, I like Michael Moore, but I watch his documentaries with a salt-shaker in hand, if you know what I mean.) I'm a fence-sitter at heart, what can I say.
