Welcome to the Nerdfighter Ning!

We hope you have a nice time hanging out here. There's one thing though... Running a website has a few costs associated with it. There's the physical server hosting, and you've got to make sure your domain doesn't expire. Any donations towards this would be most appreciated.

 


Here's some useful links to get started.

Grand Triumphant Harry Potter Re-read!

Hello Nerdfighters!

There is a group of super cool nerdfighters (I know, I know, I'm being redundant) starting a read through of all seven Harry Potter books starting June 8th and ending in late August. We're really looking forward to some awesome discussion and we'd love to see you there!

We will be taking one week for each book for the first three. After that it's two weeks per book. Everyone is welcome to participate as much or as little as they want.

Lets nerd-pick together, Nerdfighters!

What's Up with Start Ups

I'm just getting a little sick of the system that values aggregators of content more than creators of content, and presumes some kind of magical future where owning users free time results in lots of money.

Also, if you are an excellent, detail-oriented, graphic designer who wants to work with a company that does cool things quickly http://jobs.nerdfighteria.com/display...

The position of Fem-nerd, or Femineity in nerd culture

Since i was a little girl i have watched and grown up with star trek, my little brother and i learnt all the words to the beginning sequence, my best friend was even named after one of the characters, in other words i was a massive nerd. In my high school years I was defiantly an outcast, but at the age of 14 i discovered Harajuku fashion and anime, these were my new loves, i spent hours looking at fashion shows and reading blogs about Harajuku. My Friends were not as enthusiastic about Harajuku as i was, but they loved anime so i got to go to conventions with them.

 

A few years past and I was going to cons on my own, I had lost all my teenage awkwardness. It had been replaced with geeky, bitch I'm so fabulousness. I met amazing and interesting people, and soon i was part of the Lolita community. I was so happy for them to even consider me apart of their group, but i had no idea what they were talking about. No amount of reading had prepared me for this. They spoke…

Poetry Makes Nothing Happen: Thoughts on Ai Weiwei from the Indianapolis Museum of Art

Sarah does not appear in vlogbrothers videos, but you can follow her on tumblr: http://absolumentmoderne.tumblr.com

In which John visits the Indianapolis Museum of Art, where his wife is a curator, and thinks about the work of the artist and dissident Ai Weiwei while walking through "According to What," his first major retrospective in the United States. If you live in or near Indianapolis, you should really see the show. It's very special, and will be here until July 21st.

Thoughts

I have no idea what to write about. I know that I don't have to, but I feel like I need to contribute with something... I don't even know if anyone'll read this.



I like the concept of Nerdfighters. I like that nerds unite and stand together against all the hurtful words and actions. It's about time we step up and do something. The time of the nerds is coming and the world won't be prepared. I like that thought. No more bullying, no more being pushed around or ignored.

As Will Herondale (or maybe it was Cassandra Clare since she wrote the book... but I'm too far gone in books I read to differentiate between fictional and nonfictional people, so...) so eloquently put: "Life is a book and there are a thousand pages I have not yet read." I truly believe that. And I'm not going to let anyone stop me or keep me from being my true self just so they can feel better about themselves. It's time for us to stop caring what others think and just be ourselves. Just embrace your… Continue
