The Nerd Handbook

Rands in Repose has one of the most insightful and entertaining blog posts that I have read in some time. It basically is a "instruction manual" on the increasingly popular archetype known as the "Nerd" directed towards those who love and admire them. I'll call it "Nerds for Dummies". The author's insight can come only from being a lifelong nerd himself (although I prefer the term "geek") and if you ever were perplexed by the actions or motivations of your nerd, this is the one document you need to get inside his/her head.
