NERDWORLD.COM: WHERE THE GEEKS GO TO MEET

BURLINGTON, Mass. (Wireless Flash) -- The word "nerd" is becoming a badge of honor for some computer geeks. That's according to self-proclaimed nerd Russell Stein, CEO of the Nerdworld.com website. Stein says he's a nerd and he's proud of it -- and he hopes his website will help others take pride in their geekiness. To that end, he's started a "Nerd of the Week" contest to recognize nerds who are doing good for the world and he plans to create an advice column to help nerds with everything from wardrobe to dating tips. Just for the record, Stein defines a nerd as "tech-oriented person who has a lifelong love of things like Dungeons & Dragons, "Star Wars, Star Trek" or comic books."
