How nerdy are you?This week Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, died. A whole generation of pasty dice-obsessed nerds owes him big time. Me included.
So, in his honour, how nerdy were you? Are you still sunlight-averse? What are the sad little things you do that nobody else understands?
As an example, a B3ta regular who shall remain nameless told us, "I spent an entire school summer holiday getting my BBC Model B computer to produce filthy stories from an extensive database of names, nouns, adjectives, stock phrases and deviant sexual practices. It revolutionised the porn magazine dirty letter writing industry for ever.
Revel in your own nerdiness.

I adore stationery!When I was studying for my Fine Art degree we did a Print Making course and it involved producing handmade books...I can't even begin to tell you what sort of ecstasy that put me into!
And yes, I do buy (mostly Moleskine)notebooks for the express purpose of penning the great British Novel. Or even just to record daily thoughts, snippets of information, quotes, pictures - a Commonplace book - but instead they languish in handbags (another obsession) or on shelves.
Although I do use Microsoft's One Note rather a lot as you can drop and drag directly from the internet onto the note page - fantastic!
