It's not really nerdy but I went to see if there was any info about the Shelburne Museum's next season exhibit "Time Machines: Robots, Rockets, and Steampunk".
So far nothing, but I can't wait (it opens in May).
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My friend's five year old daughter got grounded from Minecraft and she wrote Notch a letter that her dad posted to Reddit.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
OK, I just did something nerdy. I pitched Henry & Glenn Forever to my bartender.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Nerdiest thing I've done lately is spend nearly 2 days working on a drawing for Misha Collins's scavenger hunt.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Nerdiest?
I just added some more tasks to the new site: [link] I figured out how to create a pdf document of my most recent instapaper articles (and I read the pdf!), I watched 2 NOVA episodes on the origins of the universe.
I have to get some nerd points for those items.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
What's the nerdiest thing you've done lately?
Made that mini witch hat fascinator for the Yule Ball.

Ha! I was going to stay cut off all circulation in my feet and hands for the flipping scavenger hunt.
eta And I don't even really understand who Misha Collins is!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I have been repeating "mah na mah na" at various intervals for over 24 hours now, which my husband seems to feel is nerdy.
