I’m a fan of the Daily Searchcast with Danny Sullivan, but I have a gripe. IT’S NOT DAILY!

Oh, and while I’m in the mood to complain please prohibit Bruce Clay from advertising more than once a year on the podcast. Their ads nearly explode my speakers.

In the 80’s there were Star Wars/Star Trek nerds. In the 90’s the computer programmer nerds began to take over. Now what?

Where is the next generation? Did Nerds finally build the time machine or warp beam that would free them from this world?

According to some research (my highly tuned skill of observation) I’ve come to a more realistic conclusion. THEY ARE AMONG US. WE ARE THEM. Nerdom has evolved and dare I say become cool. Knowing the latest websites or how to program a functional website or app won’t get you stuffed in a locker anymore.

In the entertainment world shows such as LOST and 24 have taken over for the lack of Star Trek. These shows are more hip and appeal to more of the population, but still draw in flocks of those utilizing the power of the pocket protector. However, I wouldn’t rule out that this guy led the Nerds to paradise with his new time machine.

I found a few really nice designs today.

• Parcrittenhouse.com - I like everything about this site…nice use of white space, the colors and the googlemap on the contact page.
• SteveKrach.com - People often tell me my taste in design is too plain. This site may fall into the “too plain” category, but I still dig it.
• Geniuscreativepr.co.uk - Simple. The menu kind of bugs me though.
• Artypapers.com - The way this site divides it’s main content from the tools on the right works out quite well.
• ReachGroupConsulting.com
