Wil Wheaton: “Why it’s awesome to be a nerd”

HT to television writer Amy Berg for Tweeting this link yesterday.

My friend @wilw made me cry awesome tears.

Wheaton appeared at the recent Calgary Expo. And apparently a woman in the audience asked Wil to provide a message to her newborn daughter [or perhaps she is pregnant] about what it means to be a nerd. What follows is 4 minutes of awesomeness:

My take: This is a terrific iteration of Joseph Campbell’s famous line, “Follow your bliss.” Nerd style.

Please pass along this video. And think about what it is you truly love. Then follow that.

Follow. Your. Bliss.
