Once you start looking, they pop up everywhere. There are a ton of nerd sites. There are also a number of geek sites but they can do their own PR.
So here are some of the ones I've visited lately and their area of expertise:
Nerd's Eye View - an amazing site containing lots of travel information and great writing. Also great photos. I follow her on Twitter.
Nerd Girls - a website devoted to girls who like Math and Science. Created by a team of girls at Tufts University, it's changing the world one nerd at a time. And btw the girls pictured are also quite attractive. Apparently "Nerd" is the new "Hot".
N-e-r-d - a new band with a guerilla on their home page and disturbing guerilla noises when you enter. They are apparently quite popular as I read about them regularly.
Nerd Approved - regular write ups of a ton of cool gadgets. It will keep your inner nerd entertained for days.
And if you are looking to be an actor, you need to check out auditions for this play The Nerd - which about an unfortunate hero who seems to be related to my favorite leading man, Mr. Bean.
While not really a domain, this article caught me by surprise. From the Nisqually Valley News:
On March 30, Rainier resident Lori Kellogg took her two dogs for an afternoon walk. Bryars allegedly shot Nerd, a chocolate lab, in the leg after he ducked under a fence to smell something.Nerd’s entire left hind leg had to be amputated as a result of the shooting. Bryars was one of two people staying in a fifth-wheel trailer, where Kellogg originally believed the shots came from. “All I want out of anything is that this doesn’t happen again,” Kellogg said. “You can’t randomly shoot things.” Since his accident, Nerd has been doing better.He’s resumed swimming.“Nerd can swim as good as he ever did,” Kellogg said.
Poor dog! People are always picking on us nerds. Who wouldn't be tempted to "duck under a fence to smell something?" Makes you wonder what she named her other dog, doesn't it?
What's your favorite nerd domain?

How to hire me.

I am an accountant on a mission. I want to permanently remove the blight of BORING that has attached itself to members of my profession.
But the boring blight doesn't stop there. It's everywhere. I've found it in wineries (although it's a tad more palatable when served with alcohol), in science labs, even in Art museums. And technology people carry the "B" gene too. But the condition need not be fatal. I lecture around the country to accountants and technology audiences and I have a ball. I was a partner in an Atlanta CPA firm when I realized technology was my true passion and I have been fighting the nerd versus geek battle ever since. Through some stroke of absolutely amazing luck, I now find myself in Napa -- the most gorgeous, hospitable place imaginable. Are you on Twitter? You can follow my nerdy life there : evenanerd Contact me [email protected] I am a graduate of the Jeff Justice Comedy Workshoppe and the Persuasive Speaker course taught by Speechworks. I highly recommend both of these organizations. I have also taken training from the amazing Lynda Spillane. I am not unbiased, nor do I wish to be. I have done work for anyone and everyone in the software industry or the accounting profession. If I am not impressed by what you do or can't find an angle that is interesting or unique, I won't work for or with you. And if you are stodgy or boring, there are not enough dollars or even euros to make me help you. See samples of my writing here: www.salestaxradar.com www.mybizcounts.com Archives
