"Scattered around Clay Ashby’s work station in his new office in downtown Zeeland are a handful of garden gnomes in all shapes and sizes.

The 31-year-old entrepreneur sees a bit of himself in the diminutive Renaissance-era creatures, who were characterized by author J.R.R. Tolkien as the most technologically-minded of the elvish races."

Well of course! The Gnomes - i.e. the Noldor - _are_ 'the most technologically-minded of the elvish races'.

I always wondered about the evolutionary back-story of garden gnomes. Makes what Morgoth did to the elves look dignified by comparison.
