Being called a nerd isn’t much of an insult these days.  For some it’s a badge of honor.  I prefer the way Hank Green’s put it in one of his vlogbrothers videos, he said that the characterizing aspect of being a nerd was that one loved things.  Wil Wheaton said something similar at a convention appearance, during which he also made mention of himself as “…the, sort of, the King of the Nerds…”  Nerds love loving things, with a passion that, at times, consumes their daily life.  And these “things” are not limited to the stereotypical subjects of nerddom.  In this blog, I hope to cover my love for Video Games, Sci Fi, Movies, Science, and Literature, but I’ll also be touching on some of my other random interests; gardening, the Tudor dynasty, car maintenance, camping, and just anything I love to love that sets my mind and heart a-spark.
