What's in a nerd?

After reading this article from the New York Times, I'm not sure whether I'm a nerd, a geek, or neither. I certainly played D&D as a youth and was one of the first ones in my city to have a modem. I work for a technology company. On the other hand, I'm an attorney and MBA and have worked in finance and corporate law. I have a BlackBerry, but I only use it to keep up on my email. I like technology that improves my life, and I read a lot about technology, but I no longer like to use gee-whiz devices for their own sake if they don't fill an actual need I have.
