G33k. For all my outward anxiety and shyness, I am – believe it or otherwise – socially competent. For all my eccentricities and oddities (for one, I like to identify with minority peoples), I am. Thank goodness, for I’m such a odd person. Happy Friday! =)

  I know a lot of g33ks/programmers/network engineers who are die-hard Trekkies and/or Browncoats For the next Hallow’s Eve, I’m going to costume as a short Klingon in a kilt. *g* Happy Fridya, Ms. G! =)

Outstanding post. Sef-proclaimed geek here. Tho i do wish I at times had nerdtacular aptitude to go with my geek ambitions.

Also, Gina, you’re in my “Geek” circle. It was never in question when it comes to most of you technologists.

Well, JCD, in my opinion is an old nerd. (but i truly enjoy his writing and RANTS on TWiT and X3)

This post ignores those who are considered hybrids of the two “species”… What of those individuals who share traits & relate with both Geeks & Nerds?

Hybrid 4 sure

This reminds me of the pirates vs ninja argument of a few years ago. Why not be both?

Well, as Jung wrote, all men and women share an anima/animus (or reversed) — female and male sides in everyone.

So really the pic reps two females hidden in two men’s visages.
Did I really spend all that money on a psychology PhD? LOL LOL!
