Did everyone have fun trick-or-treating yesterday? I had 1 trick-or-treater, my neighbor. Anyone want some leftover candy?

Some interesting Halloween articles

Trick or treating at the Clintons
(side note, I am from Yorktown, so I know why someone would travel 30 minutes away to get free candy!)

Everyone knows marriage is hell anyway. Why not start it off that way?

Mom's stealing their kids candy. They should be ashamed!

A site that is sure to distract you for hours on end has been brought to the Nerds attention. It's Am I hot or not? Post your picture and see what othersthink. A word of caution, these viewers are BRUTAL, if you're not a model, you're getting a 2. I've withheld my photo until they put up an 11 for a realistic rating. "What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Eleven. Exactly. One louder."

Bizarre Site of the Week
Ever see a whale blow up? Last week's bizarre site of the week has actual footage of the infamous exploding whale. Apparantly, a whale was found dead on shore. The engineers thought that the best way to remove the whale was to blow it up with explosives. The thought was that the pieces would be so small they would just wash away. If you have broadband access, this is one video you HAVE to see.

Employment
Don't know the difference between being a consultant, freelancer, or temporary worker? Karin Call's latest employment article tries to sort this out.

Summary of Nerd of the Week Nominations
Know a Nerd who is worthy of this honor? Nominate them.

Jen S's husband from NJ is very proud of his wife's nerdome. "Bragging about her old TRS-80 is one claim to fame. Her looks are deceiving...not your typical baggy clothed, no make-up nerd. Obsessed with finding good HTML, developing her website (www.whippedcreambikini.com ) and teaching technology to those technologically challenged in order to spread her Gospel of the Motherboard" If I had a nickle for every time a nerd came up to me in a whipped cream bikini.....

Steve W from MA is a Nerd Lawyer. "Steve is uncomfortable around people. It is for this reason he is striving to be the ultimate cyber-lawyer with an internet only law practice (www.steveweisman.com or www.stevelaw.com). He tends to sport goofy ties to work and frequently tells predictable jokes-predictable because they're usually the same ones he told you last week. This local radio personality keeps a low profile in social situations." What do you call a 10 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean? ....A good start!

Ronald D from MA "invented computerized shoes; started a company {and is} trying to get his shoes to the mass consumer market" Maybe we can call them Air Nerds

Michael T from OK " Spends his time in a chair. Exercising his fingers at a keyboard. Does not know what manual labor is other then working out them finger cramps." Sounds like Nerdvana to me!

Comming next week
