also, it was helpful that you were able to quantify your experience within punkdom. that will help us to make sure we don't overlook you at the upcoming street cred ceremony.
what?
oh, right. well, neal pert has always been an amazing drummer in my book, but unlike the who, i don't think that's going to win rush a slot in my record collection.
all the same, mayonnaise brings up a good point, one that i try my best not to think about, as it sends shivers down my spine. i suppose the trick is to try to balance the ursula k. leguinn or whatever the hell her name is with some nick hornby or other hipster lit every once in a while to sort of dull the nerdiness.
and i should probably wear some longer pants from time to time.

Whatever ... the punk rock hides behind me!!! Wait, I can't back that up.
OK ... so my screen name comes from The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and my real name is ... errr ... Stewart, but I always thought of myself as more nerdy than geeky. Is that an improvement? I'll be in the library.

I'm not sure what a task chair is - sounds like something you have to pay extra for at a leather bar - but riding a fixie on ice (in atlanta where we normally don't see it) is going to make me walk funny for a while.

My screen name is short for kurremkarmerruk-- the master name of the isle of roke from the earthsea books, and no i didnt watch the mini series. Yes to rush, yes to d&d, although i discoved ultima online and started doing that instead about 5 years ago.

working within a tech field we have a nice assortment of nerds and geeks, so one day, being the geeks that we were, we developed a strict level of classification for each, and they are as follows:
nerd: someone who is obsessively knowledgable of a practical/useful field, such as computers.
geek: someone who is obsessively knowledgable of a completely useless field, such as role playing games.
