White and Nerdy, by Weird Al Yankovich
I love this video - it speaks to the deepest recesses of my nerd soul! And it also further proves that nerd culture is very popular these days - so be confident in your geekdom!
For those of you reading this blog, which parts of this video can you identify with? I recognize myself in the following parts of the video:
- I’m good at academics.
- I have a few action figures - just bought one today, in fact!
- Wore braces for a few years.
- Used to be the chairman of my ping pong club!
- I’m good at trivia games.
- And of course, I own a website. (Several, in fact).
Which of Weird Al’s geek stereotypes in his video spoke directly to you? 
I love this video as well…being a nerd is definitely in now, which is weird — you should check out American Nerd by Benjamin Nugent — it is hilarious and very eye opening — and a great read for us nerds!

Since Bill Gates became the richest man in the world I wish I was a geek.
But I have to comfort myself with the second prize; “I’m just weird”
Thank you for your comments, fols.
I will look up American Nerd right now!
I found myself relating to this part:
->I’m good at academics.

Re: ..”nerd culture is very popular these days..”
Well, might be that Nerds have gotten a much easier medium to speak out : the web.
Makes it easier for us to come to a common platform, find persons who’re alike, and express thoughts freely, without any restraints.
