Stop using “Nerd” to describe people who like computers (thewebivore.com)

The definition I prefer: An intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit

"Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you." - Tyrion. Pretty much sums up how I feel about this.
