For some reason I am proud to be a nerd, but adamant that I am not a geek. Dork is just....sad. I'd call you a geek Doug, in a good way. Geekiness is reserved more for computery gadgety and/or fantasy related individuals who are intelligent. I'm not sure what my distinction is for nerds, or why I'm proud to be one....but I am :o)

[Image]My last post opened some dialog regarding my reference to Geeks, Dorks and Nerds. Some considered the multiple terms redundant. I however see clear definitions. I'm not sure I fall into any of these categories. If I must be in a category, I would say I am a geek, however I think I lack the obsession over most "geeky" things. Some would argue I lack the other critical requirement of geekyness, but that's another blog post.
For those of you who have wondered just where you or your loved one may fit into the nexus of nerddom, greatwhitesnark.com has compiled the above reference for you.
