Surely you've heard of Black History Month, Women's History Month and National Hispanic Heritage Month. But did you know that there is another group of proud Americans who have long suffered from prejudice and stereotyping and that still don't have their very own commemorative month?
We're talking about geeks, who have contributed so much to society, while being so misunderstood. Yet for some strange reason, nobody has ever thought to declare a "Geek History Month."
That is until today. For, by decree of Asylum, August will be Geek History Month.
Why August? For starters, Aug. 6 was the day the first Web page was launched. And, as August rolls on, this Web page (the one you're on now) will be providing a steady stream of posts on great moments in geek history.
Then, on Aug. 18, our Aol mothership will present its first annual Geek Awards in Los Angeles, featuring celebrities who aren't afraid to embrace their more technical side.
So please, join us as we spend August geeking out on geek history.
