According to the OK Cupid “Nerd, Geek, or Dork?” test, I’m a “Pure Nerd” (86 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 30% Dork). When I took it several months ago, I was a “Modern, Cool Nerd”; apparently, working on a dissertation about nerds and geeks can gradually shift one’s score. (Thanks to Jess for bringing this link back to my attention.)

Geek Monthly has some news announcements befitting today’s date, such as the announcement of a new target demographic:

Said Bond, “We realized Geek was too cool for a whole segment of our potential audience and we want to reach those that are offended by the word geek and are still living in their parents basements and haven’t kissed a girl.

Side note: during my interviews and convention visits, I was fascinated how frequently people make this geek/nerd distinction (though some define it the other way around).
