M.I.T. has a reputation for turning out Dilberts. They may be brilliant in what they do, but no one can understand what they say.
I've never related to the work geek at all-it sounds much more horrible than nerd. Like a freak biting a chicken's head off in a sideshow.
I was, as a kid, really obsessed with reading... that was about as geeky as you could possibly get.
I'm not a party person. I'm a nerd. I'm not an extrovert in that way at all. The things I enjoy doing could be boring to somebody else.
Actually, I'm going to nerd out on you, so prepare.
I was never geeky about anything.
As someone who's very nerd-minded, whenever I see a lot of cross-platform stuff when I get bonus material on either side, then it makes me want to dive deeper, sort of like tearing apart the different pieces of the pie.
My wife is pretty geeky and will occasionally quote 'Anchorman' at me.
Then: I google "time-series visualization" and start work on a new version of my model, thinking that maybe I can impress her with a prototype. I am really into the kind of girl you can impress with a prototype.
