We've had a couple of discussions about readers' programming talents. (Mine are quite minimal, HTML.) That is only the tip of the nerdberg. Beyond computers, what else contributes to your nerdiness?

While I am an IT geek because it is in my job description, I am, for the most part, a different sort of nerd. I was trained as a biology nerd, expressed recently in plant knowledge. I go to events called "Plant Nerd Night" where many Latin words get tossed around. I often make biology-based jokes that few understand. Other areas in which I amass trivial knowledge: photography, beer, theater tech, and movies.
