Translating Geek Into English

I’ve been catching up with watching, or listening to, presentations and speeches that I’ve bookmarked over the past year. (It ends up being a “two birds with one stone” situation, as I watch/listen to them as I exercise. I’m also exercising to MIT’s “Introduction to Computer Science and Programming” course at iTunes U, but who doesn’t?) One such speech that I just listened to was “Admiral Shovel and the Toilet Roll” by James Burke.
