Wow, that's quite a compliment. Thanks. I just happen to have friends with great taste in music that recommend me some amazing bands, and occasionally dig around a bit. Videosift itself has actually been the occasional source of some great bands for me, such as The Format and Lonely China Day.

Honestly, I just stumbled upon them. I had no idea there were so many great live clips, especially acoustic ones. It's the first time I'd seen them as well!

How do you find so many cool Radiohead videos? Awesome!

Schmawy is a very proud cat, too proud in fact. And I was mistaken, your right. As I explained to Schmawy, "Reality is screwing up my escapism, badly. Quality escapism needs care and nurturing, like a hot-house flower. Hence my rank verses points mistake. (Sigh) Can't buy beer with imaginary money."

Not that I'm trying to be nosy, but schmawt hasn't got to Gold 100 yet. Right now his rank is 108, not his number of stars. However he does have 98 stars, so any day now he'll cross that line.

Sadly schmawy * discarded the tossed-salad video. Basically he said that if he died tonight he did not want that video to be his highest. For a serious cat, he sure is silly.

Schmawy! I dip into reality for a coupla days and you somehow slid past 100! Wha? I've been meaning to compliment you on your gorgeous avatar series, gorgeous, and there you are at 108! I've searched the sifttalk for congratulatory proclamation, where??? I hope your 100th video was not you-know-what...

Apologys for my tardiness on this one.

Come and join the PARTY!

I think there is a lot of overlap between the two but I also find distinct diffrences between the two. The problem is more of a semantics issue then anything else. What I think is geeky some may see as normal or anything but. I think there are geek topics, like comic books, videogames, star wars obsession, electronic gadgets, dungeons and dragons.

Engineering however is more precise. Dealing with structure, ergonomics, design, creation. But to say that one is all inclusive of the other is a bit much. The two often overlap because both deal heavily with technology. On top of that the term "geek" means different things to different people.

Too simplistic? Yes
Making a mountain of a mole hill? Pretty much
Will Wayne and Sarah ever get back together? The polls are divided
If you could go back in time and kill hitler, would you? Well that one is for the philosophers.

In reply to this comment by CaptWillard:
How about this simple analysis: All engineering is geek, but not all geek is engineering. That is, engineering is a subset of geek. Kind of like all rocknroll is music, but not all music is rocknroll. Too simplistic? Or am I making much ado about nothing?
