It is a culture interested in facts and reason. If geekdom has a religion, it is science. And if it has saints they are Galileo, Marie Curie, Carl Sagan, Isaac Asimov and my man, Louis Pasteur. These men and women are fine role models."

Poetry…pure poetry.

I've tried to instill a bit of nerdery, or at least an appreciation of math and science in my kids.

I love the writings of Douglas R. Hofstadter and Richard Feynman–fine geeks in their own right.

Plus I'm a bit of a math nerd myself. 🙂
