I feel like being nerd is not about the superficial quality; it's about how nerds approach life. It's much more emotional and mental than it is you're some fat guy living in your mom's basement, which I think is just a hacky stereotype.

You can't throw money at the Internet to make it work - it really is all about the quality of the content.

Trying to make strangers laugh is crazy and more than a little narcissistic.

Comment threads are the new therapy for people. They just go and post the worst things they can think of because they feel bad, and then other people start attacking them, and then they attack back.

Things that are viral are things that motivate people to say I have to share this with everyone I know, and that has been more politics lately, and that's completely understandable.

I think being an outcast is what sort of strengthens the nerd movement, because you're isolated, so you have time.

I do seem like the kind of guy who'd be obsessive about Rubik's Cubes.
