Cool!
It never quite struck just how much 'nerd' is the new 'cool'.
No, really, it really is. Hangin' with folk at the star after work was what it took for me to finally click.
"Are you a nerd?"
"Yeah, I'm like the uber-nerd of nerds!"
"Are you a nerd?"
"Yeah, I guess..."
"COOL!"

Being a nerd is just being cool five years too early.

2008: "You've got a myspace? COOL!"

What about Facebook? Does Facebook make me cool?
And yes. I've noticed that too, where "cool" people are admitting to nerdiness.
Happily we're ahead of the curve.

In my case, years ahead of the curve. I think I might start denying my nerdiness and begin pretending to be a fan of Rove or something. That'll put me right with the multiverse again.
