I didn’t know what my special lady had in mind when she bought the domain nerdboyfriend.com a couple months ago. A support group maybe? Goofy stories and pictures of me nerding around? I do enough of that crap myself.
But she made something actually fantastic that’s quickly become one of my favorite new sites—a sort of archival Sartorialist for nerd heroes and icons (yesterday was Sir Edmund Hillary, for example). Every day a picture and some links to what they might be wearing (with as much accuracy as the photos and marketplace allow).
Already a favorite for me as well.

The album cover meme strikes again (I did this a year ago, lamew4ds):
- The name of the band is based on a random Wikipedia page.
- The last four words of the very last quotation on the Random Quotations page is the title of your album.
- The third picture in Flickr’s Interesting Photos From The Last 7 Days will be your album cover.
- Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post the result.
The debut album You Just Need Some Exercise from MIA’s kid, Pope Fabian, is hitting the street in 2014. Pitchfork already gave it 8.3 Future Blerghs and said its best track, “Tamil Tigerz R Cute” featuring Lil’ Lil’ Wayne, is totally bangin’.
