Looking at a “Gang Signs” chart, I asked myself “Why should gangstas have all the fun?” The end result: the “Geek Signs” chart, pictured below. Enjoy!

The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century

About "Accordion Guy"
Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:
In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.
We then made a solemn vow to live the kind of life that got high ratings.
This is the continuation of that story.

D’oh! “Blub ” was coined by Paul Graham, not Reg “Raganwald” Braithwaite.
Maybe I’ll post a corrected image later today…
Wut? No Turbo Pascal?
neat, love it, very funny
chris @ http://www.gofrostfire.com
missing “vi” => thumb holding ring finger of right hand. don’t ask me about emacs … but i’m sure their fingers are flexible enough to spell it out. ;^)
Objective-C:

let’s not forget the IA (Information Architects) gang sign: http://www.eleganthack.com/archives/IAgangsign.jpg
Simpson people only have 4 fingers, and the drummer from Def Leopard only had one arm.
HAHA! Pretty cool. It’s nice to see that you gave Leah a shout out - or hand out.
What about PHP?
Windows Vista? Visual Studio? Did MS pay you for that crappy attempt at viral marketing? Turn in your geek card due to epic fail.
LOL, I just love Nerds. they are SO kewl!

cool, lol. C++ was the best.
woot where is c#?
Here is Stephen Colbert doing the Windows Vista sign:

Funny - why no WordPress or PHP? =)
Cool, what would be the geek symbol for LOL?
@jezra: Nope, MS didn’t pay me, and hey, only 3 out of 16 of the signs are Microsoft-related. The only thing that the chart virally markets is me as a humourist.
@Robert: Considering that Wordpress and PHP currently pay my bills, I’d like to have seen those signs, but there wasn’t a sign that looked like the letters “WP” or “PHP”.
I’m not even sure how you’d make a “PHP” sign, but I’m sure there’s a way to be clever about it, the way the Bloods made their “blood” gang sign.
Man oh Man… Windows Vista should’ve been flipping the bird.
Hey I think someone tried to unsuccessfully rip off your post -> http://designyoutrust.com/2008/05/31/b10gg3r-ar3-dang3r0u/
What about the right hand rule? (has to do with generators, flux, etc.)
Where’s the sign for Linux?……
I think the Blender logo is a better fit for the last than Quake Engine. And it’s certainly talked about more.
( http://www.blender.org/ )
Epic fail.
sorry, better luck next time
whre is OS X … ???
Only for TurboNerd!
Also missing:
The Right-Hand Rule (aka the official gang sign of the math & science center that provided my most valuable high school education)
#4 Robert: Your vi sign is too close to another, more scandalous one.
yo! why you got to use the black man for gangs.. there are white gangbangers too!
@Malcolm X: I used a black geek because the original graphic had a black gangsta. If I’d used a white geek, someone else would’ve complained to me that I was erasing a black man’s identity by replacing him with a white one.
(That’s why, when it comes to these “you can’t win” race-political games, my reply is invariably “Homey don’t play dat.”)
he he he lol @ rails
what about ctrl-alt-delete
right hand- all fingers straight but the pointer and thumb making a (C)
left hand- all fingers straight but the pointer and thumb making a circle (D)
both- touch the tip of both middle fingers to make an upside down “v” (A)
done!
the “blub” sign IS an actual gang sign for the Bloods and the same goes for the “Windows(old school)” and the “Quake engine”. The blub is blood, windows is westside, and quake engine is CK or Crip killer. Just thought I’d let you know…wouldn’t want techies getting messed up or killed over it.
It seems to me that geek gang signs are completely pointless. It seems that it is merely a symbol of geekiness, and it would be a better use of time than learning these to learn the aspects of true geekdom.
I can’t believe u forgot to put the java sign… soo easy
I definitely interested reading more from this/es author/s. What I read I enjoyed. I’d like to read more. I’d like a subscription.
i luv does signs so dont mess w/us
