This is where I was going to say a little about Nerdcore for those who don’t know what it is, but really, if Tiff feels comfortable using XKCD comic clips here what are the odds you haven’t heard of it before?
If you’d like to learn more, however, there’s a “micro-documentary” – Nerdcore Rising – about the genre showing at UMD’s Hoff theater today and tomorrow. Sounds interesting and given the projected weather, a few hours under cover sound like a good plan…
Don: Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a "tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy" but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I'll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests. Hmm, guess I just did. My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my "professional" life I've sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects... sometimes at the same place. It's that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC - we've got it all.

I went to PAX in Seattle and watched Nerdcore Rising – it was awesome! So good in fact, that I bought it.
