So, since when did being a nerd become cool? Did Napoleon Dynamite do this? What the hell? I mean, we've spent our entire lives not being cool, not being hip, and the whole concept that our culture has suddenly become "in" well, it's unsettling.
So, I've decided to come up with a way that helps us weed out the people who have just jumped on the bandwagon. It's a simple quiz. And if you doubt for one second that I do not have the credentials to make this quiz, you are sorely mistaken. You are currently reading the blog of someone who has spent many a Saturday night de-fragging a hard drive. Ready?
1. Have you ever actually opened your computer to fix or upgrade anything?
2. Have you ever sat through and watched at least 5 hours of Star Trek in one sitting? (Bonus points if you organized a marathon!)
3. Firefox or IE?
4. Do you have a miniature figure of any character?
5. Have any game systems? (And no, the NES the family had when you were a kid does not count. Virtually everyone had an NES growing up.)
6. Built a model?
7. Bonus! Leia or Amidala?
No, there is no score. Just stop telling me you watched Transformers when you were a kid, so that make you a nerd. It doesn't work like that.
Fuckers.
Also, updates might be coming for a week. Things will be shaky given my position on or over the Atlantic.
you may be drawn by sight

OK First I didn't have an NES system when I was a kid. Second, I am sorry to break it to you Adam but you are not a Geek or a Nerd. You are a normal guy who has a few quirky likes and who likes to play video games (again a normal guy). Btw, they didn't have your game when I went in today around 11 said the shipment wasn't in yet but not to worry, he said he would be holding it for me until tomorrow.
1. Yes, and yours
2. Yes, at your designs
3. Firefox
4. Cpt Picard (seriously)
5. 4
6. Enterprise NCC 1601D
7. Leia
Nerd power (which is now officially a fist pump then the Vulcan hand farewell)
