Think you're a nerd? Prove it! 21 Jokes Only Nerds Will Understand I got about 16 or 17 on the first read. I'm nerdy with a capital N. Of course, being a science-loving computer programmer helps.
I added the Feedly and Bloglovin widgets this weekend. I'd be grateful if someone can verify for me that they work properly.
I have been (and plan to continue) using Feedly as my blog surfing chauffeur. I've spent a good bit of time getting things organized the way that works best for me. I still have some tweaking to go, but am thus far satisfied.
I've been using both readers for a couple months and already imported all of the blogs I'm following or I'd test the buttons for you.
ReplyDeleteI found another article today discussing even more readers. It compared thirteen, I think. I'll probably include the link next Sunday.
DeleteI don't perfectly understand the problem with following. All the blogs I read appear in Blogger with no problem.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting to see what the fallout will be. There are many choices out there. I do still see my feeds in Blogger though.
DeleteI got a couple of so of the jokes, so I guess I am no nerd.
ReplyDeleteThat still makes you nerdier than those who got none. :)
DeleteThanks for the Sunday links! Captain Obvious was great and so was Lessons from Yoda. Off to check out the others. (:
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Elise. Just stopped by your place and hung with the cows for a while. It's okay. I kept them in line. :)
DeleteI loved the Yoda lessons!!!! And Yoda just gave me an idea for my post on Wednesday. Thank you, Sir Jeff. You've proved very useful. :D
ReplyDeleteThen my purpose has been served. :)
DeleteI got about 13 of the jokes.
ReplyDeleteNot bad! Not bad at all! I think there's a nerd inside you just waiting to sprout. ;-)
DeleteGreat links and both buttons seem to work...at least they take my to your blog, if that counts for anything :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the confirmation, Mark!
DeleteI got a few of the jokes. Can't wait to quiz my nerd hubby.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to know how he does/did.
DeleteOh the reader adjustment-- we're all just so awkward with it all. I switched to Bloglovin and actually like it better than Google anyway. So there. Take that.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Nook was done. Amazon is the tablet behemoth.
I almost went with a Kindle, but the Galaxy Tab 2 won me over. It still integrates with Amazon.
DeleteLoved the unionized and loaves of bread jokes!!! ... excellent roundup, as usual!
ReplyDeleteAs did I. I had to explain the Oct 31 = Dec 25 to some folks on Facebook. Everyone laughs at the computer nerd until they need him. ;-)
DeleteWow, I only understood four of those jokes. Guess I'm not a nerd!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved the word opposites, though--I never realized how contradictory some definitions were for a single word before!
Also, that sucks about BN no longer making Nook tablets. I'm so relieved now that I opted to get a Kindle back in the day. I won't have to worry about transitioning to a different brand in the future!
There is a degree of risk going with a device so tightly geared to any one outlet, be it Nook, iPad or Kindle. Benefits, risks and tradeoffs about regardless.
DeleteJust four? I thought you'd have been good for at least six. ;-)
I've been meaning to get back into surfing the web for publishing and writing news. This is the kickstarter I needed. Thanks, Jeff! :)
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, David. Hopefully, you'll find some links here that will be of interest.
DeleteIm on my cell phone and cannot view if you have them or not. Sorry im not much help. But on the upside I will check out some of your links and the nerd jokes. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely try the nerd jokes. Be warned, I expect a decent score from you. ;-)
DeleteAw, I'm just seeing this now. Thanks for the shout out! And I loved that map quiz. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for maps. And you're quite welcome.
DeleteAnother great collection of links
ReplyDeleteGood ole Yoda! Has much to teach, he does.
Padawans at his feet, we are. Humble ones for sure. :)
DeleteHi Jeff,
ReplyDeleteAll those links and yes, I will check some of them out. You know you are my favourite nerd!
I have found the "follow by email" function is working well. It informs me of your blog. Yep, even if it has taken me two days to actually get here. Should of used my computer. Sidenote, I wish folks who now have their blog redirected to Google+, might consider removing that application. It's becoming a mystery tour getting to a number of blog sites.
A good week to you and thanks, Jeff.
Gary
Glad to hear that I'm *someone's* favorite nerd! :)
DeleteI've often wondered whether anyone used the "Follow by email" option on my blog. I've never found a place within Blogger that tells me if anyone has used that method, so I'm glad to hear that it works.
I know what you mean about profiles going directly to Google+. Some folks will have their blog(s) listed in their "About" section, but by no means all. I trust mine still shows up as a Blogger profile.
Have a great night, Gary. I think you're five or so hours ahead of me. :)
