What's in a name?

Nordic Njerd is mine since I am of Scandinavian heritage and have always been sort of a technical nerd. From the Wikipedia - "Traditionally, a nerd is a very intelligent but lonely and socially awkward person who is fascinated by knowledge, especially science. A nerd who is versed in computer technology can also be a hacker. Beginning in the late 1990s, many nerds on the Internet reclaimed the word nerd as a badge of pride, and began using it as a positive description of any technically competent person, with less implication or focus on social awkwardness."

My great-grandparents came over from Norway and Sweden. Both grandmothers were Norwegian and both grandfathers were Swedish. See other Wikipedia definitions for Nordic and Scandinavia

I have used computers since the 1960's. Even if before if you consider my first computer being a Wolverine Adding Machine in the 1950's.

My profile picture is from when I was about 5 years old. I already had my nerd glasses at that time as well.
