spot the nerd

just returned home from a dark electro/gothic party (N8 Flug) where i got some funny ideas upon observing the electro crowd which i found so amusing that i'd like to share them with you. in the electro scene (if you don't know what electro is, just imaging a techno party where everyone wears black and looks down while dancing, that's the impression i got) or general dark wave/gothic there seem to be some people who imaging cockroaches on the floor which must be killed, at least their dancing style looks like that. if you watch these "cockroach-stompers" with their big plateau-shoes "dancing" and you imagine some insects on the floor, you simply can't stop laughing. well, i know it's kinda evil if you don't dance yourself and just make fun of others, but as i am a occasional dancer/headbanger i think i am allowed to put people in boxes, mark them and laugh about it. :P while thinking about the crowds demographic spectrum i had an idea for a little fun party game. there were unusually many males aged 25 and up (just a guess, but they looked kinda old to me) and even some with glasses and a general nerdy look (i know what i am talking about, i am one myself ;)). you know the prejudice about cs-students listening only to electronic music? that's where my game idea starts. :) since nowadays nearly everyone has a mobile with integrated digital camera and sending pictures (mms) isn't that expensive, someone (the gamemaster) could set up a server whereto everyone else sends the taken pictures. the game would be called "spot the nerd" (hence the topic). the goal is to take pictures of as many nerds at the party as possible and the one with the most pictures gets a little prize (e.g. a coupon for a free drink). the flashing wouldn't even disctract anyone, since there's also stroboscobic light. the pictures could be judged by the community, because opions of who's a nerd and who's not could differ largely. you could even make some profit from a game like this if you collect a little membership fee or if you make the mms-service more pricey (like what bild does with their leserreport thing). now one could think that i am discriminating nerds, but how can someone discrimate his own peer group? ;) and besides, the nerds could "beat" this game easily, since they can "smell" each other. ;) you could also extend the game to other subgroups, like for example emo-kids, so that every minority is discrimated equally.
it's past 4am now and i am too lazy to check my spelling, so if you find some errors, please tell my via the usual communication channels available to you.

random thoughts

so, some friend of mine reminded me that i haven't posted here in some time now and he wants to read something so he won't be bored anymore. as a generous person as i am i could not put down that humble request and am now writing down some slightly interesting stuff i was thinking about some time now.
university is quite tough at the moment, with lots of hours sitting in lecture halls, listening to sleep inducing voices talking about technical topics, which could be quite interesting if presented correctly. the worst thing is, most of our lectures are in the one hall which has no constanst wifi access (depends on the wind and temperature outside it seems...). so, we resort to playing mario kart or mario vs luigi with our dses (is that the correct plural for ds?). then there are two time consuming lab courses.
at home i hang around on 4chan or animexx quite much, watch anime (death note!!!!, kanon) or play some games (frets on fire, dead or alive). unfortunately i had to suspend my dance dance revolution training due to some neighbour below having fear of ceiling parts hitting her head.
enough whining now, i almost sound like piro. ^^
recently i was wondering if i should change this blogs name, because some people told me that i was not a nerd (anymore?), which is quite confusing if you have some "nerd pride". *G* but then again, i'm a nerd at heart and can't think of any better name.
