The many bow ties of Charles Eames (designer). Thanks Steven Cabella at www.eamescollector.com for sharing.
Thanks to my friend Thorn (@ThornCoyle), who sent me a link to this foundation that creates bow ties (and those other ones too) and gives back to rural communities. You can find them at www.dibifoundation.com

First, thank you MasterInIt.org for the infographic and Geeks are Sexy: Tech, Science, and Social News for sharing this.
So are nerds the ones wearing bow ties as this infographic suggests? Then am I a nerds…perhaps in some ways but with any general categorization of a person, I may have some but not all the traits. Individuals are more than a simple generalization base upon some “norm.” So I will continue to wear my bow ties, read philosophy, enjoy medieval history, and take comfort in that I have good friends that see me as a person not a type.
