Benjamin Nugent is the author of “American Nerd“, pretty much the only book ever to look at the origin and historical impact of the word “Nerd”. I recently finished the book, and it is great. It’s well-researched, funny, and fascinating. I recently got a chance to speak with Nugent about his book and the current [...]

Much like Pete Townshend, the Nerd City crew loves a good pinball machine (and a little kiddie porn – for “research”, of course!)  Loud and noisy with bright flashing lights, pinball machines are like going to Vegas, but for only a quarter.

This LINK HERE leads you to an awesome, awesome Iron Man version of the nerve-janglin’ classic “Operation”!

Since none of my counterparts have said anything yet (and I’m not surprised, the honky bastards), I thought I’d announce that it’s Black History month.
