Here's something nerdy... Planethunters is looking for people to start going through data collected by the Kepler planet hunting mission to observe and see if planets can be found by people that computers can't detect.

Wow, I find that amazing I went too the site and did a little bit of "hunting", did you try it sleapyhead?

I tried it too... but I had a couple glasses of wine at the time and I was not understanding what I was supposed to do because the tutorial is limited. But after some practice runs of going through the random stars that popped up for me I was starting to get the hang of it. I'm sure there are people on the site who know exactly what they are doing, and I think it's awesome that they are being given the opportunity to identify new exo-planets... plus, it's equally awesome that they will receive credit in any publications that discuss the new finding.

Yep, I'm a nerd so I would like to join if I can. I'm a book nerd, always with a fantasy novel in my hand or reading fanfiction online. ^^ I also wear glasses, my hair is dyed black and I'm listening to metal. So, a stereotypical nerd even att 28...

Same for me. But I have not read so many books as I usally do, I have been cought up in Harry Potter fanfiction.

You must read the Harry Potter books, they are great! Read them before you see the movies, the films are good but not as wonderful as the books.

I can't list them all but some of them are of course Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, Belgarion, the Riftwar Saga and the Vampire Chronicles. I just found this wonderful author, Trudi Canavan, and I love her books in the Black Magician Trilogy. It's good to see a woman as the main character for once.

Thanks Arillyn!

That is an interesting topic, I hve to think about this  one a little bit

Is Eve written by Iris Johansen? If that's the one you meant, I looked it up and I think it sounds amazing. Sounds truly creepy

Oh man, I need to read that one. I better get my read on. I'm reading The Night Circus right now. And I have two other books waiting in line... World Made By Hand and The Witch of Hebron (which comes after the first, respectively).
