I've just read the BEST post in a really really really long time (that's 3 x really). The post is called "The Nerd Handbook" and I'm adding the "(or What Makes Me Tick)" to it.

For the most part it describes me down to a T which is rather scary but not so much. I like having something that explains my nerdish tendencies to non-nerds (most importantly of whom is my wife). I think we're going to have to sit down and study this post to ensure she understands just what makes me tick and just how to deal with it which is something that she has trouble with sometimes I must admit. Not that it's totally her fault or anything, I'm working on "de-nerdification" sometimes which means not vacuuming the internet via Google reader constantly and trying to disconnect on a regular basis (damned you Lifehacker for providing too many useful tidbits!).

Anyway, thanks to Rands for helping to explain me to the non-nerds of the world. Also, thanks for the nice idea about keeping a style guide...something that I should do and will do from now on, forever and ever, amen.
