My main nerd credentials:

I was into computers when they were command line only.
In highschool I coded a text based adventure game in assembler (actually when I started I didn't even have an assembler, I would look up the CPU's commands in a table).
One of my favorite things about having kids is I get to play with lego a lot.
Was into video games from the first time I went to an arcade - there was a choice of two games, Space Invaders or Asteroids.
An avid music collector since the age of six, I've sometimes spent years hunting down an elusive piece of vinyl.
Played D&D until the age of 36 - and only stopped because the main organiser died (in real life that is).
One of my favourite blogs is Dr Bunsen (drbunsen.org)

There are a couple of areas I could definitely improve - comics for one. I have a fair bit of Neil Gaiman, 2000AD, Moonshadow, Alan Moore's From Hell, but that's about it.

Also video games - I spent a long while playing guitar all day and neglecting gaming. I'm ashamed to say I've never played any of the Zelda series - hopefully I'll get around to rectifying that.
