I read a brilliant series of articles this morning, and I have to thank Louise Kidney for pointing them out, and Rands for writing them.

The articles are all about understanding the mind of a nerd. There isn’t much that I can add, so if you want to know how my mind works, follow these links and read.

Excellent articles. Have printed out and passed to ‘she’ - perhaps this time she’ll get it. Ta.

I know exactly what he means about zoning out and not being motivated. I’m experiencing both at the moment. Haven’t zoned in several years now and it’s seriously depressing.

Not zoning out is quite a handicap for a nerd. Have you any thoughts as to the reason?
