Item: Michael "Rands" Lopp writes a resonant description of nerd behaviour. Item: Wyn describes a new sitcom featuring nerds which may not suck. I feel the need to point out here that "nerd-human relationships" is a nice coinage based on my hackneyed self-description as a person working in the field of "nerd-human relations." TLO and I are happily working on our nerd-human relationship, however. Item: I read two sports column/blogs regularly. One is Tuesday Morning Quarterback, a football column that interrupts discussions of the negative value of most punts to discuss the details of how hedge fund managers' incomes are taxed. The other is devoted to tracking the latest details of sports uniforms. Item: I spend more time thinking about new ways to reconfigure bicycles than I do actually either working on bicycles or riding them (oops). Item: I loaded the washing machine today with an eye towards whether my new technique for getting the clothes from the hamper to the washing machine was faster (probably not).

Oh, and then there's this. Cal's marching band doing a medley of video game tunes while...acting out pixels in formation?!

Nerdiness at criticality. Evacuate area.
