Killing Two Memes with One Stone
In the last few days, I have been tagged into two seperate memes, so here I am killing two birds with one stone:
My Nerd Score
CShel has just tagged me into the Nerd Score meme. Feeling somewhat apprehensive, I took the test, and it turns out that I am slighly less nerdy than Cshel. At the same time, had some of the questions been asked differently, I am sure I would have come up higher. Questions like ‘How many programming languages do you know?’ (6-10), ‘What was your first computer, and at what age did you get it?’ (Tandy 2000, at age 10)
Google Search Trends
Jason Bartholme, the king nerd, has .
If you have a Google account and are signed in, you can view your search history by clicking on Web History, then Trends. There you will see three lists of ten for your Top Queries, Top Sites, and Top Clicks. Below that, is the fun stuff. Here are my numbers:
My numbers are obviously lower than most others; I suspect that is due to me using the Google search bar in Firefox rather than actually using the Google.com homepage. The results that are returned by this box are actually an Adsense Search results page, in which the advertisement revenues go to the Firefox Foundation.
Tagging others:
In return, I would like to tagthe following for both memes:
- Dave Zuls
- Scott Horne
- Shandy King
- Abhishek Tripathi
- David Ogletree - yes, I know JB also tagged him, but I’m just turning up the pressure!
- Richard Ball
I could keep going, but I will spare the rest the pain of yet another meme :p

Dude, Barry and I both already did the Search one… I’m pretty sure Barry started it
Also, I’m mortified you’re less nerdy than me. I tagged you expressly for the purpose of having people score HIGHER than me!
:)
Hmmm, I guess I missed your posts. I guess I’ll remove you both from the list then!
And sorry about scoring lower; as it is, there is enough nerd hidden in my past that had the questions been slightly different, I probably woulda schooled all of you!
I’m only a 52 on the nerd scale! (Lightly Nerdy) The test wasn’t fare. It was too weighted on the math and academic side of things. There weren’t enough Science Fiction, Dungeons & Dragons, Comic Book or Monty Python trivia questions or I would have scored much better.
The fact that I know more people online than in person, My wife and I met online, My idea of a fun vacation is attending a Search Engine Marketing Conference, I take my computer with me on vacation, I have more kids toys than my kid, I can remember dozens of computer passwords but not my wedding anniversary, etc, should more than qualify me as a nerd.
Also… I delete my search history on a regular basis. Another sign that I might be more than “Lightly Nerdy” I was robbed!
