Andy Petruzzo, Michael Stevenson, and Kyle Sweeney have been friends and making funny P! Company videos since Junior High. Only recently did they decide to create a video blog for the website to utilize as a sounding board for their thoughts, opinions, and exploits from each the week.

This is a promo for that very video blog.

I, Andy Petruzzo, just took a random internet quiz to determine if I was a Nerd, Geek, or Dork. And I found the results staggering: 52 % Nerd, 83% Geek, 17% Dork.

Refer to Kyle’s post for specific definitions of “geek”, “nerd”, and “dork.”

I must say that I was delighted with the results. Because, really, in today’s mile-a-minute, workaday, tech-savvy world, if you’re not a “Modern Cool Nerd”, then just what are you? A jock? A “cool” kid? A stupid-head? Given the alternatives, I’m happy to be stereotyped as exactly what I am: a cool nerd.

Whether or not I am ‘modern’ is debatable: My iMac has a paltry 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and my HDTV can display 1080i but not 1080p. I’ll leave you, the internet, to make that call. It’s interesting, though: I always thought of myself as a geek. But apparently I’m a nerd. Oh OKCupid, your online tests are like looking into an unforgiving mirror.

I, Jameson Kyle Sweeney, just took a random internet quiz to determine if I was a Nerd, Geek, or Dork. And I found the results startling: 61 % Nerd, 74% Geek, 22% Dork.

For The Record this study qualifies a Nerd as someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia. A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one. And last but not least, a Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

I scored better than half in Nerd and Geek, earning  the title of: Modern, Cool Nerd.

Nerds didn’t use to be cool, but that was then and this is now. The Modern, Cool Nerd is intelligent, knowledgeable and always the person to call in a crisis (needing computer advice/an arcane bit of trivia knowledge). Congratulations me!

I hope to take this latest title and make the most of my existence as the Modern, Cool Nerd.
