A blog dedicated to collecting the nerdiest, dorkiest, geekiest picture that appeared in your yearbook (or maybe shouldn't have.) Former AV Club members rejoice! You're among friends.
I'm one of them. So is everyone in this video. And the poor, poor children… Hat tip: SciencePunk

Science Buzz An international robotic program for kids ages 9 to 14 is a sort of geek olympics. It’s like the math olympics for the new generation. I’m sort of jealous that geeks are becoming more and more accepted in society. We never had it this good when we were kids!
A funny and fairly accurate portrayal of how a kid becomes a geek. There’s only one way to get to ‘Girls,’ and it’s through exposure to sunlight, not D&D (via Scribbling).
