I maintain a small page about Stoicism here: http://pa-mar.net/Main/Lifestyle/Stoicism.html http://pa-mar.net/Main/Lifestyle/Stoicism.html I believe that the Stoicism's appeal (for modern tech people) is that it is basically a very rational approach to life and its problems. It is also very adaptable to modern day culture: it downplays Religion but respects Society, for example. Last but not least, the image of dour, ascetical, judgemental party poopers is a bit off mark, I think. The ideal Stoic is of course quite restrained in everything, but feeling somehow superior, a part of some elite is a mistake in itself.
