I’ve been thinking for a while that nerd culture - SF fandom, gaming fandom, comics fandom, hacker culture - are taking over the world. Traditional nerd passtimes (big fantasy novels, comics) are now major smash movie hits. Computer games are a major business. Important politicians (Al Gore, Newt Gingrich) are SF enthusiasts

I just fell into your journal randomly browsing around, and I just wanted to say "it's about time!" People have been bashing the 'nerd culture' forever, it's about time they realized it's the way to be!
