    If you think you're geeky, think again. These guys probably beat you all.

    I’ve put put together a list of the World’s Geekiest Apple fans you’ll ever see. It's actually from my blog and it has accompanied pictures and links but I thought I'd share the text version with you guys. Some of these geeks are very hard-core.

    1. Jeremy Mehrle (single) - ÜberNerd Mac Collector


    Geek Quote: “The bar is a scaled down of my original idea where I would have 3 whole walls of Mac Classics like at the end of the second Matrix movie (only I had the idea before the movie).”

    This guy takes the cake on pure financial dedication to his geekdom. Jeremy spent more than $4000 on Ikea furniture alone! His undeniably beautiful basement museum, containing more than 75 pieces of Apple computer history, has never been seen by a woman. Check out this video on CNN.

    2. Greg Packer (terminally single) - Penultimate Nerd

    Claim to Geekfame: Being first-in-line to buy an iPhone (after waiting 110 hours, proudly neglecting most acts of hygiene).
    Greg is a professional line-sitter and is famous for being one of those jerkwads who will push his way in front of you at concerts or the movie theatre. Unfortunately, in our geek-off, he only finishes second. Visit Greg’s site and donate your hard-earned cash to his worthy cause.

    3. Kyle Purdy (in a relationship) - MiniNerd

    Geek Powers: braces, lisp, glasses, button-down lapels, desire to learn.
    14 year-old Kyle wrote a letter to Steve Jobs and landed a personal invite to the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. Only attending in the hopes of scoring some chicks, Kyle was brainwashed by Apple and forced to serve as Jobs’ supernerd sidekick. Check out Kyle’s interview on Planet Nerd.

    4. Unbox iPhone Guy (so single it hurts) - HenchNerd

    Geek Factor: 110%
    Back in January, this dude somehow got his hands on an iPhone, before it was even completed, and beat those slackers at Unbox.IT by six months. Extra points were awarded for creative use of time travel and a realistic depiction of excitement. Check out this historic ceremony here.

    5. Brad Stone (allegedly married) - FakeNerd

    Geek Aliases: Santa Claus Killer.

    After exposing the ‘real’ identity of blog-phenom Fake Steve Jobs earlier this month, Brad Stone was then revealed as the culprit himself (see story…) By charading as FSJ, Brad was able to live out his fantasy of owning and operating Apple. Brad is rumoured to have an Apple logo tattooed on his butt, and enjoys sucking the magic out of our daily lives.

    6. John Swerdan (singer) - HippieGeek


    Geek Lyrics: “Start up and take a hard drive / Backup or you won’t arrive”

    A few years ago, this elementary school teacher from California, recorded an album of songs based on or inspired by the Macintosh computer. You can read the Byronesque poetry of Swerdan’s lyrics on his site (no longer updated). Apparently, he is still writing and performing–albeit inferior, less relevant, non-Apple related music.

    7. The ‘Yes Way! Expose’ Guys (all single) - GangNerds

    Geeks? Yes.
    If you haven’t already watched it 500 times, get started on this Mac music video by a group of guys who have never had girlfriends. I kept skipping back to minute 1:34 to repeatedly watch that killer dance move. Bask in all its geeky majesty! I made the switch!


    There you go! It makes my 100 or so RSS feed reading feel less geeky.

    What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
