Wired.com has a Geek Gardening guide to Domestic Terraforming. It's fun to see how gardening, ooops I mean domestic terraforming is viewed by the geeky crowd. As the article states, "Gardeners are among the world’s most charming snobs. Rightly so: As with music and mathematics, the more you know, the more elegant your work. Erudition is valued, and so is a smattering of pretension. If you are a geek looking to put down roots, welcome to gardening. We offer you common ground. Think of it as localized terraforming, if that helps."
