It is an exciting time to be a nerd.
John Hodgman at the Radio & TV Correspondents' Dinner.
In which John Hodgman quizzes President Barack Obama on his nerd credentials.
(This happened a little while back, but I've been busy and am just now catching up. It's worth sharing.)

Hi, Dayna!
It's Robert, former Creative Manager at a greater-Chicago-area-based retail catalog company that will go nameless.
Just stopping in to say hello. I drop by the blog periodically - it's a great read - and saw the Hodgman entry. I'd seen it before, it's a great speech. Certainly confirmed my own nerd cred when I found I could answer all three Dune-related queries Hodgman posed.
It's been hot as hell down in Austin where the deer and the antelope play and nary is heard a discouraging word because I have to spend almost all of my time buried in research articles in hopes of someday tacking Ph.D. on to the end of my name.
I saw that you were in town for SXSW too late, so next time you're in Austin it would be great to catch up and have a beer.
Hope you and yours are well. Safe travels.
Robert
Hey Robert -- so glad you dropped a note! Send me an email, would ya, if you still have the gmail address -- the last time I tried the one I had for you it was all busted up.
Love Austin -- what a great place to land. Talk to you soon, I hope.
p.s. Not at all surprised about the Dune thing. ;)
