+The Geek Code is a humorous way to tell other geeks a bit about myself in the

+I've seen something called the Geek Code around the Internet on some people's
+profiles. After reading a [recent blog post by Marc
+Grondin](https://blog.marcg.pizza/marcg/new-keyboard-and-geekcode-100daystooffload-day-17),
+I figured it would be fun to create my own Geek Code and advertise it on my
+[about page](/about).
+
+A Geek Code is essentially a sequence of symbols that, when parsed, give other
+people a general idea about someone within the context of very geeky things like
+computers and Star Trek. It's straightforward to set up since you just have to
+go through the [Geek Code document](https://geekcode.xyz/geek.html) and fill out
+your code with the qualifiers that fit you the best. It does lack a little bit
+of nuance in some areas, so don't get too hung up on choosing _exactly_ the
+right value.
+
+My Geek Code (as of the time of writing) came out to:
+
+```
+-----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK-----
+Version: 3.1
+GCS/TW/O d-(+) s:- a-- C++(+++) UL+++/++++ P+>+++ L+++>++++ E--- W--(++) N+ o?
+K- w--- O? M-- V? PS++ PE-- Y++ PGP+ t++@ 5? X? R !tv b+ DI+@ D G e>++ h+ r y?
+------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------
+```
+
+Which can be [decoded here](http://www.joereiss.net/geek/ungeek.html).
