It has been a while since my last post, but it has been pretty busy here with Science Online, then my entire house got sick by some sort of super-virus for weeks on end (it kept going from person to person like a carousel), but all is well now. The virus has since been eliminated, everyone is healthy and we can get back to “normal” … or , what passes for normal on this blog, anyway.

I came upon a few video clips of Wil Wheaton (Wesley from Star Trek: The Next Generation and all around nerd king) talking about what being a nerd means, and how finding something you love – whether it is Doctor Who, football or science – is nothing to be afraid or ashamed of.

Give it a watch and please share this message with anyone who, at any point in their lives, have been criticized by others for liking something with a passion that others don’t.
