Happy Geek Pride and Towel Day

Happy Geek Pride and Towel Day! Today is the day you celebrate what makes you a geek. Do something that really makes you happy. Something that you are passionate about. It could be watching your favorite movie or TV show, reading your favorite book, playing a video game, running a race, building a car, baking anything! Anything that brings joy to your life and reduces stress. After this past year, we all need to embrace the things that help us get through the rough times.

It’s also Towel Day so remember, whatever you do today, always know where your towel is!

Aside from working, my plans for the day will be watching A New Hope (since May 25th is its US release anniversary), probably some reading (most likely Dresden Files), and playing some video games (World of Warcraft). I will be doing all of that, with a towel in my hand.

Happy Geek Pride and Towel Day to all the geeks of the world!


When I was a kid, it was a huge insult to be a geek. Now it’s a point of pride in a weird way.” – J.J. Abrams
