I love nerds. I thought they stopped making them until I saw a commercial and found these in the holiday isle at the store!

Nerd es un término que designa a un estereotipo de persona que persigue apasionadamente[cita requerida] actividades intelectuales[cita requerida], conocimientos variados, u otros intereses que están en edad inapropiada[cita requerida] en lugar de participar en actividades populares o sociales. Por lo tanto, un nerd es a menudo excluido[cita requerida] de las actividades físicas y se le considera un solitario por parte de sus compañeros, o tiende a asociarse con personas con ideas afines.
El término nerd se empezó a usar en los años 1970, inspirado por el filósofo Timothy Charles Paul, que usó la palabra para describir un estereotipo de persona inteligente con malas habilidades sociales, que suele ser objeto de burlas. El concepto del nerd fue explorado en la comedia de Jeff Kanew "Revenge of the Nerds" (1984).
En los años 1990, el término nerd desarrolló connotaciones positivas dentro de las esferas sociales conectadas con los ordenadores e Internet, entre otros campos. En este contexto, nerd define a personas expertas en cuestiones técnicas que están orgullosas de ello, ya que su condición puede potenciar su éxito en el sector informático, científico, cultural y artístico.

Hihi, my name is Mr.Nerd Bro, the little brother of Mr.Nerd.
Though i want to apply the position of Mr.Charlie DotDot, my brother is so proud of me coz he like Mr.DotDot Mouse in the DotDot Land since he was a kid...
I don't wanna be Mr.DotDot Mouse coz i think i have more confidence to express the human feeling than being a mouse...Most Importantly, i got bullied by my colleague, MIss.DotDot Mouse :(
Sorry for the essay this week. Feel free to ignore all this and just leave a comment on my photographic genius! ;) Please, don't read any of it, nothing to see here, move along...
Two weeks ago we asked for suggestions and received two great ideas for themes. Here's the first - nerdy, thank you David - which I can do. Last week I gave you a further insight into my character, and I'm going to continue the trend this week.
I.am.a.Nerd.
No really, I actually am. I like to pretend that I'm not, because nerds aren't cool. But I am. I have a first class honours degree in Computer Science and Electronics. That desk behind me is not a prop, that actually is my desk, all those things were actually on it. I do have four screens on it, a screwdriver and a disassembled camera under the monitor. That rat's nest of cables lives in a box that I use to keep all my 'might be useful later' nerdy stuff in.
Occasionally I slip up and let the nerd out in public, on the road trip we got into a discussion of the benefits of JPEG vs RAW and I brought up compression. Forgetting myself for a moment, I chipped in with "as long as you don't push it too far, the loss of high frequency information is negligible, that's the beauty of the Discrete Cosine Transformation algorithm." The silence was, in hindsight, rather amusing. I started to explain but when Jeff's eyes glazed over (to his credit, he lasted a good 10 seconds longer than Kim) I decided to stop. Anyway, I wrote a JPEG codec as part of my final year dissertation... this is not helping. Time to stop,
So, ha ha, what do you think of my hilarious 'made-up' scenario??
I hope no-one reads this.
Each week between Monday and Sunday I shoot a self-portrait. I post it the following Thursday. The idea is for me to learn and grow. So give me some critique, don't be shy - tell me what you really think! Thanks
PS (Phew, this'll divert you all from the Nerd theme) I've not been feeling great these past few weeks (as I mentioned) but the last 10 days have been pretty dreadful with a series of big migraines. The other day I saw that Clayton mentioned (on Facebook) he'd found a tick crawling on Lexie and one of the comments was from someone who said they'd had Lyme disease because of a tick. It hasn't come out, until now, but I got bitten by a tick on the road-trip and had put it out of my mind (I'm guessing you can tell where this is going already.) Anyway, Jeff had mentioned this Lyme disease as a risk but I'd not thought about it until this little reminder. Intrigued, just because I am an inquisitive fellow, I went to the wikipedia page only to realise that the picture of the infected bite looks rather like my bite (albeit mine is not quite so impressive) and that the list of symptoms really kind of matched what I've been going through lately. All things combined, this was enough to go to the doctor.
I laid it all out in front of the doctor concluding with, "silly me, shouldn't look at medical things on the Internet, eh?" Only for her to say, actually, no it does make sense, she looked up some stuff (I'm guessing she doesn't get too many in like this) and yes, you guessed it, she thinks I have got it. Just as I was about to leave she said, "oh, one of the indicators is a swollen liver, let's just take a look." So I hopped onto the couch, she located the right spot, told me to breath in and poked "OWWWW", she told me to breath in again, poked and "OWWWW." "That hurts then?" she said with a smile, "it's pretty swollen." I can kind of rationalise the other symptoms but that one is a little more tricky to explain away. They've taken 3 tubes of blood for various tests (although apparently even if it comes back negative, I still might have it - rubbish test if you ask me) and I've got 2 weeks of antibiotics (although they look more like horse tranquillisers) and a week off work.
It's easy to post-rationalise some of this stuff, and I don't want to dismiss the issues I've been wrestling with, but it does explain why I've been feeling quite so sluggish at least. As a young man (and a computer scientist) I was deeply logical in so many things, I must admit I still have a tendency to see intellect as a computer program, unaffected by the wetware upon which it runs (my friend, a nurse, called it the "pull yourself together mentality.") As the years have passed, and I suppose I've grown up, I am continually amazed at the interrelationship between the mind and the body.
I'm actually feeling quite upbeat about life today (emotionally at least, if physically exhausted), this is just another exciting tale from my holiday to America, so let's focus on the picture, please?
