Going by this, I would classify myself as a "Nerd".

Going by your definitions, I suppose I would be a geek.

EDIT: Looking at Wikipedia, I am definitely a nerd. :geek:

Those are really not the definitions that geeks and nerds would usually supply. It's a well documented subjected.

My understanding is that you have very narrow definitions of both these terms.
You can also be a geek/nerd in almost any category that can be mentioned.
