Freshish out of high school and on his last working day before starting an Arts/Law degree, Das UberNerd has decided to expand his current nerddom by having his own blog. This isn't my first internet adventure, I've already started a wiki for Extension History - but now that I'm not actually studying it, I'm hoping that others will add to it and I can sit back and be the overseer for a while.
To introduce myself - I'm eighteen, I should be tidying my desk, and I know too much for my own good. If you think I'm just saying that, I've actually studied enough Freud that a lot of the time I really don't want to know how your brain works but I still do. And my desk is rather messy and for some reason has a street directory on it.
This blog is going to be about everything that I think I should have a say in (Asian languages education coming up!) as well as the things that I discover over the next year or five as a uni student. I realise that most bloggers either are uni students or wish that they still were/will be soon, but to me it's still new and exciting. Odds are that most of my blogging will be done from the UNSW Law computer labs, so don't be surprised if you find something on here about the world's ugliest carpet.
Saying 'readers beware' would be far too cliched at this point, and frankly not applicable. I'm the kinda guy that when he has a spleen to vent writes a letter, posts it on the internet and reads it to people when he has access to a computer to make sure that they hear it - and that's what you can look forward to.
What I'm basically trying to say is that I rant, for those who haven't noticed. Things that I loathe include feminist historians, people who can't tell the difference between softball and baseball and feminist historians (Miriam Dixson, here's to you!). Things I like are Neil Gaiman (also Neil Diamond, but that won't have so much revelance to me as an UberNerd except that I'm stuck somewhere thirty-five years ago) and webcomics - for those who haven't, check out http://xkcd.com Having proven that I rant, the next installmant will be on some minor point that I find irksome. Happy reading!

I will read your rants because I trust you will make them entertaining. Please don't betray that trust. :D
ReplyDeleteXKCD is tres awesome, and if you talk about Neil Diamon even as a joke again, I will have to find you and stab you in the face.
I wish i had a street directory on my desk. Maybe I will make a desk directory. And sell it for millions.
Yeah, sorry about that Freud thing, I'm always gonna feel bad about exposing you to that. Actually, who am I kidding? I'm glad I damaged you. That was the point. First, Lovecraft to soften them up, then Freud to really nail them to the wall. Have I mentioned what an awesome teacher I am in this post??
ReplyDeleteOf course you're awesome, Head-Teacher...why else would you be our Lord? I can't say I regret the Freud, but apart from screwing with guys heads and pointing out exactly what films are about I don't have much practical use for it...that is to say, I have a hell of a lot of use for it.
