Geekdad, over at Wired (a man after my own heart – not in a vampiric way) posted a collection of essential skills to have in your set if you want to keep your Geek Card.  Among them are my favorites:

3. Leech Wifi from your neighbors
4. Screw with Wifi leechers
…
7. Wire your home with Ethernet cable (one the projects at the top of my list)
…
18. Troubleshoot any computer/gadget problem over the phone (bonus points if it’s for family)
19. Use any piece of technology intuitively, without instruction or prior knowledge
…
62. Know the Konami code, and where to use it.
…
82. Know all the names of the Dwarves in The Hobbit
…
84. Know where your towel is and why it is important.
85. Re-enact the parrot sketch.
… And my favorite of all off this list:
90. Be able to explain why it’s important that Han shot first.
