While on Christmas in Connecticut, I'd heard about a NPR segment differentiating Geeks, Nerds, and Dorks, so I searched NPR for it. What I found was this: The Geekiest Moments of 2008.
The story does discuss Geeks, Nerds, and Dorks, but also hits some good geek moments. Dark Knight, the Large Hadron Collider, and others. They discuss Barack Obama perhaps a bit much, but I enjoyed it. You can see all 50 moments here.
