A friend of mine met him at Comicon PHX earlier this year.  Weaton
noticed his PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) shirt and started talking about
geeky stuff with him.  He's been a geek figurehead for more than a few
years now.

Plus that desk not terribly over the top geeky; The Defcon badges,
binary clock, Mac G5 ad, nerf gun, and framed poster of the First
Cylon War are worse, and that's just my living room.
