A parable on the craftiness of nerds

One of the best things about The Nerdery is having this much brain power gathered together under one roof. Oftentimes the nerds use their powers for good, helping each other figure out tough coding problems or racing to see who can find a solution first.

I’ve actually seen this happen, a group of people rallying around a monitor displaying code for some project. It usually involves a lot of pointing at code and shouts of “I betcha that works.”

But some nerds, yes it pains me to say it, some nerds use their powers for evil. See, sometimes a blogger might innocently Twitter about how she can’t seem to stop singing “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” in her head and while it might look like some of the other nerds are rushing to her aid, they are not. In fact, they are just trying to get worse songs stuck in an already vulnerable head. Here, I will list for you a few of the songs that were suggested to take the place of Yoshimi:

1. Chimpanzee Riding a Segway
2. Wiener Dog Riding a Skateboard
3. Cooking by the Book from LazyTown
4. Tubthumping

So you might be thinking, don’t click on any of their links silly blogger. Ha! That’s what I thought too. I thought I was crafty and smart. But then while toiling away someone who shall remain nameless snuck up behind the blogger his iPhone blaring “Chimpanzee Riding a Segway.”

Foiled again!

Now here’s where the lesson comes in: the nerds here at The Nerdery are smart and crafty and above all creative. They will find a way around any roadblock. Because you are smart readers I will let you extrapolate all on your own on why when you’re taking on a tough Web project you might want to get these Nerds on your side.

Besides, I’m trying to decide what’s a better earworm “Yellow Submarine” or “Shiny Happy People.”
