I’m a web professional (10 years). Nerd if you like, I prefer monkey.

Obviously not the status quo, judging by comments on *****, but I thank yourself and Sass for attending this.

This issue needs many more people like you guys to explain things and get the word out. I find too often my explanations are too technical for people. The emotional approach you have taken was genius!

On the brighter side, I found two awesome blogs to start reading!

I don’t know, I can’t really get behind a cause that doesn’t have a colored ribbon. The geeks just need to pick a color already.

i feel like the nerd label has been fully blown out of proportion - i did have other catchphrases! when i initially said it on my blog it was in a fearful fashion as in lets prevent this from happening - but then all the "nerds" became all "nerd proud" and blew it the fuck up haha.

Bringing up the emotional side of things was the smartest move… After all, we can’t just “let the nerds take care of it”. I’m glad they brought two wicked bloggers to the panel.

i signed that petition! i agree that taking your blog down for a period of time, as well as others following suit, is a good idea to drive the point home.

and YOU would stick with it, unlike some *OTHER* blogger i know of that lasted ONE WHOLE day. heh.

sass’ tights are HOT.

as Gogol Bordello puts it “Start Wearing Purple!”
