Comments on: Nerd or Geek, The debate continues! http://www.brianminor.com/2009/01/08/nerd-or-geek/ iOS Developer and Mac Nerd Fri, 26 Aug 2011 05:29:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Mamacitax7 http://www.brianminor.com/2009/01/08/nerd-or-geek/comment-page-1/#comment-25 Mamacitax7 Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:02:19 +0000 http://www.brianminor.com/?p=313#comment-25 I don't know, Brian...I wouldn't catagorize myself as either a nerd or a geek as I really have no interest in the machinery or inner workings of computers or their lanquages. Neither am I a hardcore fan of sci fi or remotely good at or intersted in things mathematical or scientific. As a kid I was not part of the ''in crowd'' as I was not a fashionista or into sports/cheerleading. I never smoked, drank or went to parties where they did. I didn't get my drivers license until I was 18. I dressed to suit myself and no one else. I read books all of the time, not nerdy books but classic stories etc. I like animals, cats better than dogs and I've never understood the typical girl's fasination with horses...what's up with that? Anyway, if geek or nerd are not correct labels for a person like me then what would be? And please, be kind, those HS memories are still vivid even after 30 yrs! :P I don’t know, Brian…I wouldn’t catagorize myself as either a nerd or a geek as I really have no interest in the machinery or inner workings of computers or their lanquages.

But when I think of a geek I think of someone that spends countless hours playing a MMORPG and checks 4chan all the time ... When I think of nerd I think of someone that's technologically inclined. Those are just my definitions though. well I consider myself a Nerd … proudly I might add.

But seriously, if I had to label myself as one of these, I'd choose nerd. But to be honest, when I first here these terms I think of the IT and support people who know all the terms and ins and outs of computers and the like. I just like making videos and being involved in online communities, so does that put me in either of the categories? Now you've got me thinking...thanks Brian...
