The first impression you get is a very Douglas Adams kind of atmosphere
as your reading the opening paragraph, only to continue reading and
almost deciding this guy shared the same thought pattern as Mr. Adams
I found it ridiculously entertaining and a well written paper.
His points are described in reallly accurate ways i can pretty much
relate to all of them lol.
Check out his essays on "The Cave" and "N.A.D.D" as well if you liked this one xD

QUOTE
A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time. Those lulls in the conversation over dinner? That’s the nerd working on his project in his head.
It’s unlikely that this project is a nerd’s day job because his opinion regarding his job is, “Been there, done that”. We’ll explore the consequences of this seemingly short attention span in a bit, but for now this project is the other big thing your nerd is building and I’ve no idea what is, but you should.
At some point, you, the nerd’s companion, were the project. You were showered with the fire hose of attention because you were the bright and shiny new development in your nerd’s life. There is also a chance that you’re lucky and you are currently your nerd’s project. Congrats. Don’t get too comfortable because he’ll move on, and, when that happens, you’ll be wondering what happened to all the attention. This handbook might help.
