In computers and the Internet, a geek is a person who is inordinately dedicated to and involved with technology. -whatis.com

It's not often one finds oneself being perfectly described, but that definition pretty much hits the nail on the head...

Even as a wee little tyke, I was taking things apart, trying to figure out what made them work. Sometimes, I would even put them back together. If I was lucky, they might work afterwards, too.

Fast-forward a bunch of years. Still taking stuff apart, but now I can almost always put things back together correctly.

My overly-inquisitive nature eventually led me to discover the wonderful world of technology. Be it the wizardry behind the ubiquitous CRT television, the fascinating logic of digital circuitry, or the never-ending quest to master a programming language, I find myself enthralled by the wonders of our modern age.

One thing I have discovered as I strive to learn various technologies: there are not many newbie-friendly (that's new user to you non-geeks) resources on the web. Simple things, like how to format a string for console output, or what the proper tags to use for the content of a web page should be. While it is fun to search the Internet for hours trying to find an intelligible sample or guide for answers to these simple questions, I would hope to be able to answer a lot of those questions here.
