So I know that there are more people who would love to proclaim on video that they are geeks.

I need to get a copy of the I AM A GEEK script (or someone can transcribe it and send me the text)

Then record your video and place the file (MPEG 4 please) in the drop at drop.io/iamageek (the password should be iamageek)

UPDATE:

I got a copy of the official script. It seems like we might want to add our own lines so here is what I am proposing. If you want to read the original script (or just parts of it) please do so, and if you want to come up with your own original lines to put in then that’s great. We will have to just work it all out in the editing.

I got the script from Lon Harris who co-wrote it with Shira Lazar. Also the official twitter account for I am a Geek tweeted this yesterday:

Which brought a ton of interest to what we are trying to do. They are excited to see the finished product.

So here is the script:

Hey.

My name is _______ and I am a geek!

I’m not a nerd or a spaz…

and I don’t hang out all day in my parent’s basement…

and drink Mountain Dew and energy drinks…

and I don’t play Dungeons and Dragons or Magic the Gathering,

although I’m sure they’re really really fun.

Don’t judge me based on my lifecast

I have a Tumblr blog,

not a MySpace account.

I speak Python and CSS, not Klingon,

Java Script is not a play about coffee

I can proudly help you leverage your personal brand.

I believe in communicating, not Super-Poking…

I have followers not friends

And by the way tweet is a verb, twitter is a noun

Just owning a Nintendo Wii does not make you a “gamer”

Just because I’m constantly connected to my iphone doesn’t mean I’m not listening.

And yes, there is an app for that.

You write a blog post, not “a blog”

And it is pronounced “meem,” not “mimi”

This is already way over 140 characters

The Internet will not steal your identity

The World Wide Web connects 1 trillion web pages, 2 billion Flickr photos, 150 million blogs, 36 million Facebook profiles and 5 million Twitter accounts

And I just got all that data on Wikipedia, but you don’t have to take my word for it.

end script
