Can you tell?
I'm in "dynamic limbo" here at the office, and I've been fairly quiet of late so I figured I'd distract myself on here.

Which one makes arbitrary distinctions between amorphous social behaviors and consumer habits, polarizes their readership by treating them as diametrically opposed corporate brand-sports team-political parties in order to suggest the topics have actual relavance, and then illustrates it with hipstamatic graphs and affects a retro-chic school house rock / mr peabody cartoon design asethetic in an attempt to be seen as insightful and witty? Is that Geeks? or Nerds?

This involves fewer characters, fewer spaces, and less conjunctions than 'hurry up and wait'. Well done.

Wish I could take credit -- retired Army Colonel in my office told me that one and I stole it precisely to replace" hurry up and wait mode."
I'm glad someone else appreciates the elegance and simplicity of the statement, though. First time I heard it I said "that's it!"

Looks like my family was right--they always called me a Nerd. And now all this--except for the computer expertise, looks like I'm definitely a Nerd. And yeah, Matrix. Pi and LOTR are my movies.

Geeky by day, freaky by night.
