I found this via a tweet from Felicia Day, and Im just sad that I’m coming into it so late. Essentially, at Paul and Storm they have a March Madness NCAA Basketball style tournament going for the great and geeky. The end result will name a champion the Secretary of Geek Affairs. Sometimes, you see something of sheer genius that you just wish you could’ve thought up yourself.
Some of the contenders are a bit obscure, but most are simply inspired. Personally, I’m cheering for Felicia Day herself, MC Frontalot, Gabe and Tycho from Penny Arcade, and Steve Jobs as my final four. The 2nd Round match up of Wil Wheaton vs. Wesley Crusher is pretty great, though. Check out the full bracket, make your predictions here, and vote in the current round.

This is not dissimilar to the Videogame battle that http://www.gamefaqs.com does every year. They’ve opened it up to all aspects of geekdom, so that’s cool.
Plus, Paul & Storm are very cool themselves, so that helps add to the coolness.
