Nerds are Cool

I remembered this evening a story on the Today show a few weeks ago that proclaimed: "Nerds are Cool".
If you know me, you could understand my excitement with such a news story.

The story revolved around the success of Napolean Dynamite (which I have only seen once, and don't own yet), and Star Wars.
I think I am far from being a complete nerd (never seen a Star Wars film), but I do believe (and those who know me could agree) that I am partially a nerd.
I spend a lot of time at work and home writing code (see Infant Log 2005 post), so I can't really claim to be in any other social group.

So, anyways, I suspect that this rise of the nerds will last about 3-4 more months.
Let's take advantage of this while we can!

Nerds are usually described as computer nerds (see Revenge of the Nerds).

Nerds are people compassionate about something.

Computer Nerds.
Economic Nerds (me)
Mountain Bike Nerds (me)
Scrapbook Nerds (this could also be called CS2 Nerds and computer nerds).
PSII Nerds (also known as Gamers).
Skateboard Nerds.

I am proud to be a nerd too. My only issue is that I can't dance like Napolean. But I am practicing.

I'll stop invading your family blog now. Thanks for the advice on Creation.

Peace.

Guppie out.
