Actual conversation...

So this is an actual portion of an IM conversation between myself and my sweeter than honey, albeit ultra-geek fiance:

Eric: xoxo
Oh yeah, one more thing

me: yes baby?

Eric: meant to share this comic with you. This guy has some great geeky comics, so feel free to browse his site, but this christmas one was pretty good...though a warning, it's probably one only a computer geek can appreciate

me: Oh, this oughta be good...clicking now.




me: hmmm...

Is it a flow chart?

I don't get it.

I think you were right...only a computer geek could UNDERSTAND it. No matter what it was suppoesd to be, I can totally relate to his parents!

Eric: In comp sci, trees and heaps are technical terms for data structures, and would be drawn like they are in the comic lol!

me: Oh my.

And I thought I was married to a geek . . .

No, sis...you married a NERD. :)

I'm a geek, not a nerd. Geez, get it straight.

And for the record, that comic is xkcd and I've read every one since the beginning. I understand about 80%. I admit, I didn't get this one.

One of the cool things about the comic is that if you read it on their site (or via google reader), you can hover your mouse over the comic for an addition punch line that I also understand about 80% of the time.

I'll have you know, Chuck, that your comment led to a 45 minute IM between Eric and I on the great nerd v. geek debate. What a riot!
