ReplyDeleteI think it's hard to do a distinction between the two, the terms have evolved with Internet culture and are used synonymously often. I personally associate the term "geek" with interest in pop culture and the trivial on a broad scope, while a "nerd" is usually obsessed on a certain field. A nerd is someone who digs the Linux kernel for security flaws because he enjoys it and its FUN for him. A geek is someone who goes to hobby conventions wearing a funny hat. A true nerd is a rare breed and I don't count myself among them.
