Geek, Nerd, Dork, Dweeb

July 9, 2010

While Coworking today at AltamontCowork, Phil asked if we knew the difference between Geek and Nerd.

After much discussion, including a visit by Duane, we all (Phil, Me, Jay, Duane, Joleen) sort of agreed that a Nerd can be anyone obsessed with a particular subject (ANY subject) while a Geek is a Nerd obsessed with technical stuff.

Phil (our resident NerdGeek) sent us this AWESOME Venn Diagram from GreatWhiteSnark.com…(hmmm, is that a Nerd site?, I guess I’m NOT a Nerd…I must be a Geek).

Only one problem: I need the definition of “intelligence”….

What are you? Leave a comment… 🙂
