Best Geek Trips to Take in 2009

April 6, 2009 at 10:05 AM | by Jaunted | 3 Comments

Long gone are the days when being called a geek was a bad thing. Millinials celebrate, almost worship geekdom. Ashton Kutcher produces Beauty and the Geek, Woz is on Dancing With The Stars, and Biz Stone is on Steven Colbert talking about the virtues of tweeting up. Thus, it should come as no surprise that we have decided to give a small nod to geek travel, which in our world means their very own listicle.

What does it mean to travel geek? Well we found plenty of hot spots catering to this zeitgeist. However, after talking with the Twitterati, engineers, and plenty of web heads, it seems the old adage of "its not the destination it is the journey" rang particularly true with these folks. From artificial intelligence, to high end gadgetry and geek service to the latest in transportation innovation, on this list you *still* have to have a nice dose of je ne sais quoi de geek.

Off we go.

    I Must Be A Geek

    I already want to book my tour of the Hanford Nuclear Park.

    Although drinking out of an Erlenmeyer flask is a close second...

    I will absolutely go to these places. Especially Hanford, ever since a picture of Chernobyl from inside my junior high history textbook freaked me out.

    ...sounds like something you do after eating too much greasy fish and chips. Still, I'll go.
