A thoroughly mediocre, moderately interesting collection of information. It's based on some group of folks who claim to be nerds but, based on the story, just seems to be circles of folks who wish to impress each other. Science, engineering and more are covered in very short snippets.

The main problem is that they all try so hard to be too cute, and it usually fails. Also, for true nerds, there's not a lot of new here. Most are immediately forgettable, a polite shrug. However, they span the spectrum. The worst is an alcoholic talking proudly about his hangovers. Researching is one thing, bragging is a problem. The enjoyable one that sticks with me the most was a nice introduction to one origin of modern scientific method, about something curious about the disgusting British practice of ruining tea with milk. How the scientist goes about testing the hypothesis was then extendable to far more complex issues.

It's worth a read, a bit at a time, during lunches or other short breaks.
