I ran across a new word today, nerdistan, that I liked. It was in an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal "The declustering of America" by Joel Kotkin about people having fewer reasons to live in central cities. He called clusters of tech workers in places like Fairfax Virginia and Bolder Colorado as nerdistans.
Now Lewis Center isn't Bolder or Fairfax, but I am surprised by how many tech workers there are here. At my sons soccer games, one father turned out to be a regional manager for PeopleSoft. My next door neighbor is a Java programmer (and guitar player for a popular local band). The guy across the street runs a Macintosh based printing business.
Cupertino it ain't, but I'm happy to find that I'm not the only geek in the neighborhood.
