The moor-wandering eremite adores these intricate little machines, these spring-powered automata, these puling mechanical men and unfolding contraptions, assembling his stolen collection for display among the rushes. The Queen Moon's starry fays, the bathing planetoids, and Palpatine pass by at various times during the evening and pause to appreciate the clinking, clattering collection, the emperor's gnarled fingers gesturing childlike approval when a gypsy figurine weaves a complex gesture of incantation.
The cranes flutter.
The tin drummers click.
The cherry scribes sloth-slowly engrave the parchment.
The fullerene static generated by the nearby nanobots inititates madness, insanity, chaos, often driving the recluse deeper into the wilds, yet these contraptions are the way of tomorrow and the soft, soothing miniatures, so dearly regarded by the deranged hermit and all passers by, are so 19th century, so yesterday, so antique. Even Babbage concedes that there is little to be learned from them and that the star trail must be cleared for the self-assembling goo pooled in laboratory vats, goo composed of countlessly congregated angstrom droids pushing outward by virtue of their own volume, goobots that cannibalize each other in their expansive processes.
Nanotechnology will doubtless soon arrive, but the mezzobots now swell for one last act of noble note.
The blogger who got fired from Microsoft is a baby faced wunderkind underneath the Van Dyke.
Digg's chief architect has an almost Euro-prettiness going on. Keep the geek-apps coming!
We like him: urbane, articulate, dark hair, fair skin, youthful, photogenic.
Geeky cool, youthful, perhaps a bit contrarian, full of cred. We like him.
He looks like a royal with his unkempt elegance. So handsome, so successful.
Life is kind to the wealthiest man/most famous geek: the all important baby face to go along with everything else. 
This Linux genius cannot take a bad picture. He is quite literally overflowing with youthful exuberance here.
Undeniable baby face. Lifestyle, diet, and a cherubic facial shape affect this honorary wunderkind's appearance.
Such refreshing boyish charm and, let's not forget, cyberpunk brilliance. A definite honorary wunderkind.
