I wonder how many are doing the Hulu thing. Hear of Boxee which aggregates all of your channels of online stuff?

I totally concur on the nerds taking over television. I love Lie to Me and House both. Thank goodness for Hulu too since we cannot afford TiVo

YES… both! That is the answer. The “both and” is indeed possible, right?

Just wanted to chime in. I know it’s a little late, but… Why not have them both!!!!

Be a super-geek-rockstar.

Hasta Man!

I wonder if it’s more about heroes that are kinda normal or like us than it is about the computer geek. Perfect example of this to me is Chuck. He’s kinda a super genius, but only cause he’s got some thing stuck in his head. Otherwise he’s a normal, or even kinda awkward guy, but that’s sorta the gimmick of the show.

So maybe it’s not about giving up the guitar for the motherboard, but rather being really good at what you do. And having script writers who come up with a really pithy way for you to save the world while playing your guitar, I guess.

But the guy who will buy her the ring she wants is less chiseled and more brainy, perhaps. And, even though he is afraid of speed, he can afford the horse power!

Oh dear, I’m afraid I’ve already done that! I’ve found a problem with this however. While the guys may think it’s good to be clever with white coats and pens in your front pocket, girls aren’t lining up to swoon all over you. They still prefer the chisel-jawed, 45-magnum toting “look at me, I’m David Caruso” type. I have yet to meet a woman who didn’t secretly want to be swept of her feet by someone like Jack Bauer. And I’ve never met a woman who wanted to be swept of her feet by Stephen Hawkins.
