"geeky street cred" these days seems to go to serendipity:

http://www.s9y.com/

It lacks some of the most annoying warts that affect Wordpress 
(http://www.wordpress.org) and Movable Type 
(http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype), the other two weblog publishing 
systems that people are likely to recommend to you.

Other systems, such as Drupal and Joomla! and Moodle, could be tweaked 
into meeting your needs-- but probably significantly outstrip your need 
for flexibility or your desire to carry out extensive configuration.

Hope this helps,
