The ultimate show down: Geek Squad versus Nerd Force


Or … “the difference between nerds and geeks.”

Or even … “why geeks love Steve Jobs and not Bill Gates”

A lazy Sunday afternoon prompted me to browse trivial to semi-useless topics and after stumbling upon a brow-raising topic thread at PinoyExchange, I decided to write this.

The thread question in the cupid forum went something like “Would you ever date a geek or a nerd?

Geeks love to pair their devices with bluetooth and love being seen in cafes surfing the web via WiFi. While Nerds love tinkering with the system registries and say how cool it is. :-P

You can get more input regarding nerds from the TechTV show “Nerd Nation”. It even has a cool sound track [im a NERD! im a NERD! im a NERD! ….iiiim a NERRRRRD!]
With regards to Geek naman, Berniej’s new blog is called “Geek Civilization”. Try visiting it.

this is a really late comment, but anyway, i wanted to put in my 2 cents worth.

geeks are passionate about something - they have some sort of expertise in a specific field. that’s why there are sports geeks, film geeks, tech geeks, and whatnot.

nerds, well, they just lack social skills. they are socially inept. they, well, they’re the people we don’t want to be associated with.

just my 2 cents worth.
