I found an interesting article at Rands in Repose, a blog I hit now and then, with the catchy name “The Nerd Handbook“.

Now…I think of myself and most of my friends as geeks, and I see nerds as socially-inept geeks (yes, most geeks *do* have social graces…we just tend to be extremely choosy :P :) and I’m not really sure if I agree with Rands on the use of the word “nerd” for the stereotype that he’s talking about…the mere fact that he’s writing as if talking to the SO of a nerd makes me think he’s more refering to geeks than nerds…and that’s why I think it’s sorta relevant to this blog :)

I particularly had fun reading the section he titles “Advanced Nerd Tweakage”, in which he tries to advice the SO about how to make it so she can use her nerd’s quirks in her own favor, so as to get the stuff she may need from him…pretty clever stuff, actually :)

Anyway, go read it, it’s, at the very least, fun reading :)
