One of the few perks of being a professional computer nerd is that you get to be … well, nerdy … and no one is surprised. Usually, people are pleasantly surprised when you talk like a normal person during conversation, rather than acting like Nick Burns, the computer guy. A nice case of occupational under-promising and over-delivering.

So yeah, Heroes is a sci-fi-ish tv series that resembles a comic book, but what can I say, I love it. On the other hand, plenty of regular people like it too, so maybe I’m not so nerdy after all.

In any case, today’s quote of the day comes from Sendhil Ramamurthy’s Onion interview:

When I first started the show, it was pitched as a show about superpowers, and I was like, “This sucks. I’m the only guy on the fucking show who doesn’t have a superpower. This totally blows.”
