Maybe it’s the heat, but someone over at CNN has got the idea the it’s cool to be uncool now. The article claims that dork pride is on the rise. Well without getting into the differences between geeks, nerds, and dorks, I would only agree that it is more acceptable these days to be a member of such groups. And indeed there has been a rise in the sales of geek wear, I guess. But being a skeptic and having suffered for my own geekiness, I would hardly believe that being a geek, nerd, or dork has become mainstream. But like being excited to see black people on tv growing up (a rarity then), and now Asians, at least they are talking about us! And nowhere in the article is the suggestion that they need medication!
