			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people hate being a geek, but there are many advantages of being a geek. The best advantage that comes to mind for me is that we make great fathers. Here’s why:<span id="more-12"></span></p>
<p><strong>Video Games</strong> We all know kids love video games but those PS3 games can be difficult to beat. The great thing about being a geeky father is that you are great at videos games and you still play them. So when your kids need help passing a level, at least you can help them. Plus the best part for your kids is that they won&#8217;t have to ask you to buy the cool video games because you will already have them.</p>
<p><strong>Homework</strong> My kids hate homework just like I did when I was a kid. At least now my kids won&#8217;t be using the dictionary to do their English homework. Instead they will be using the web. As a geeky dad I taught my kids about online dictionaries, cliff notes, and many other things that helped them get their school work done faster.</p>
<p><strong>Play Time</strong> Most fathers don&#8217;t spend countless hours playing with their kids, but most geeks do. Whether it&#8217;s playing with Legos or just racing remote control cars, a geek is never too old to stop playing with those toys.</p>
<p><strong>Gadgets</strong> Kids love all the coolest and greatest gadgets out there, at least being a geeky father you will have all the coolest and greatest stuff. The best thing about this is your kids will have all the latest gadgets before anyone else at their school which allows them to show off to all their friends.</p>
<p><strong>Brain Power</strong> There is nothing wrong with being smart, and because you&#8217;re smart at least you know your kids won&#8217;t be dumb. This ensures that your kids succeed and go to a good college and get high paying jobs. Even more important, they should be smart enough to start their own .com company, sell out for millions and take care of you when you get old.</p>
<p><strong>Science Projects</strong> Tons of kids have lame projects each year, but your kids will have the cool science projects. They will be doing stuff like testing out which roofing tiles are the most flame retardant and actually get to mess around with fire. Your kids will be walking away with the top prize or award instead of coming in last place because they have a father who is a geek.</p>
<p><strong>Safety</strong> Parents are always worried about their kids safety, but as a geek parent you won&#8217;t have to. You&#8217;ll monitor what your kids are doing online as well as monitor where they are in the real world through GPS tracking devices. Not only do you have all of this covered but you can also setup precautions so your kids don&#8217;t start getting into chat rooms that they shouldn&#8217;t be in.</p>
<p><strong>Broken Electronics</strong> I always hated it when my toys broke and my dad couldn&#8217;t fix them. Now my kids never have to worry about that because I can do anything from repairing their electronics to assembling new ones for them with ease.</p>
<p><strong>Coolness</strong> Being a geek father allows you to know what the hippest stuff that your kid can have like Google backpacks, pencil pouches that have built in calculators and thermometers, and last but not least an Apple computer. By you being hip to technology this means your kid is hip to technology due to association thus making your child popular.</p>
<p><strong>Education</strong> One of the most important things that you can provide to your kids is a good education without the headaches of racking up massive amounts of student loans. Granted they can learn a lot by going to school, but because you&#8217;re a geek they will learn a lot from you. By reading social news sites like Digg or Newsvine on a regular basis you can provide your kids some real world knowledge.</p>
<p><strong>Bonus</strong> For those extra geeky parents that have cool cartoons on DVD such as The Simpsons or Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles your kids will get to witness the great moments in life. For those not so geeky parents, it seems that their kids will miss out on the great cartoons.</p>
