Who are the most geek-chic guys?
Which guys best exemplify geek chic? Post your ideas in the comments. Once we have a strong list we’ll post a survey and let you rank the guys.
Guys can be real people or fictional characters and should be fairly well known enough where a simple web search can return the person in question.
Not clear on what’s geek chic? Here are some resources:
AZ Central: “It’s chic to be geek!”
Wikipedia: geek chic
USA Today: “Geek chic”
PS: Vote for geek girls, too!
PPS: Like the graphic? You can have an .eps of it here.
