All the other geeks are linking to the clip below of geek idol John Hodgman praising Obama as our first “Nerd in Chief” in an address to Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner, so I might as well do the same.

I really do need to read that book. I was waiting for him to close with some catchy Klingon phrase, but that might have pushed the audience from amusement into befuddlement.
