Being Geek

By: jerry | 08/09/2010

I've been a big fan of Michael Lopp's blog, Rands in Repose for a long time as well as his previous book, Managing Humans. I just finished his new book, Being Geek, cleverly available as an iPad friendly ebook. Being Geek collects some of my favorite Rands in Repose entries with new material, resulting in the perfect handbook for the working nerd. Lopp covers everything from finding your next gig to navigating the people and situations you'll find in the average corporate ecosystem. Lopp's delivery is friendly — like an older brother dispensing the wisdom gained over years of learning the hard way — and the material is insightful and introspective without resorting to weepy-eyed navel gazing. If you're a geek or have a friend or significant other who is a geek, then Being Geek is worth a look.
