Well being a geek/nerd is no longer offensive anymore. Most of us over the age of 23 can relate to when it was a sin to be a geek/nerd. I know due to my own insecurities and want to fit in with the rest of the high school, I changed everything from clothing to what I did and whom I hung out with. Deep down inside I knew I wasn’t cool I was a geek, But I was never book smart and, Pot probably didn’t help that.
Being a Geek/Nerd is now empowering especially since the Internet started, #nerdsunite seems to be a movement (possibly led by Jen Friel of Talknerdytomelover.com (my conspiracy theory)) and a good one at that. Now we have Thug artists and bad boy rappers dressing like Steve Urkel. Kids that when I was there age wore Baggy Jeans and a shirt to big for Big Pun, now where tight jeans bright colors and thick frame glasses. Big named stars and sport figures Twittering like someone care (I Care ☹) You know Geek/Nerd Movement is on when Star Trek and Star Wars movies are being redone and Comic books (Marvel Comic’s Woooo!) are now scripts to the next blockbuster. Geeks/Nerds have there own networks on tv like G4, Which sell the fact that its for nerds and put on E3 convention (my fav) and Comiccon on tv for everyone to see. I can only imagine whats to come…
All and all I think we all have a little geek/nerd in us (if not… do you want some… Shut up I know it’s corny but I liked it…TWSS). Regardless if you’re a Jock, Cheerleader or Fist Pumper Everyone will notice a little geek/nerd in them, its not hard to notice its just accepting it. . I have watched this movement grow by leaps and bounds (like Superman yay!) where will it stop? Geeks/Nerds are growing in masses and getting stronger by the day! Where will you be when we take over!!
Proud Geek since 1989.

Male Sexual Fustration
"Men, you know you're desperate for sex if..."
1) You're making out with a chick, she unzips your pants and she discovers you're already wearing a condom.
2) You decide to do "cybersex" with complete strangers in an on-line chat room (uh, it's NOT actually sex... it's "typing", dammit!).
3) You're about to have sex with a chick and you CAN'T find any condoms around your house or apartment, so you settle for Saran Wrap.
4) You auction off your virginity over the Internet in an on-line auction. The winning bidder turns out to be a 68 year-old Ukranian woman (in a wheelchair) who has the winning bid of $1.50. You decide to put out anyways.
5) ALL your Twitter and Facebook friends are pornstars and you constantly pester them to star in your own homemade adult film.
6) You find yourself leering at the freshly baked apple pies at the bakery shop (yes, that's an "American Pie" joke).
7) You're STILL willing to have sex with the drunken chick who threw up her dinner on you.
8) You're willing to bang the psycho chick who has been stalking you the last 6 months.
9) ALL of the female pen pals that you write to are convicted felons (who are doing 10 to 20 years in a maximum prison). You have their scheduled "conjugal visits" circled on your calendar.
10) You start your own adult film production company just so you have a steady flow of hot chicks.

Bye Bye Floppy
Story shown originally on Talknerdytomelover.com
Sony announced today that they would end shipments of 3.5" floppy disks in Japan in March of 2011, two years after ending worldwide shipments of what was once the most ubiquitous storage media on the planet.
If you went to school in the '80s or '90s, you remember carrying these stupid plastic squares around, flicking the little metal cover back and forth even though your teachers told you that would ruin the disk. And you remember using whatever utilities you could on your computer to somehow get that 2 MB file (it's HUGE!) to either fit on one of these 1.44 MB "high" density disks or span multiples of them.
The floppy's death spiral began in 1998, when Apple introduced the floppy-less iMac, while CD burners began to become widely available. I think the last time I used one was in 2004, when I needed to pull an old college paper off a floppy. I had to dig a USB floppy drive out of storage just to do that, since I got rid of my last computer with a built-in floppy drive in 2002.
So, with the floppy all-but-dead and buried, let's take a look back at some fun floppy facts:
- The 3.5" floppy disk was originally released by HP in 1982 and held 264 kB of data.
- The common 3.5" HD floppy disk was released in 1987, and had nearly completely replaced its 5.25" predecessor within 3 years.
- As larger storage media became popular, there were multiple attempts to extend the life of the floppy drive, including the LS-120 "SuperDisk" (God, remember that thing?)
- A pack of 40 3.5" floppy disks will cost you $24.99 at Amazon.com. That gets you about 58 MB of storage. For the same price, you can get an 8 GB flash drive from Amazon.com. That's nearly a 14000% increase in storage.
- A dual-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 100 GB of information, or the equivalent of 69,444 floppy disks.
