Bill gates is still going, so can't be spoken of in the past tense.

Was that nerdy enough?

You forgot about his son Edsel, his grandson Henry Ford II "HF2", and his great grandson William Clay Ford.

These are some weird definitions of nerdy/dorky/geeky.

I have a very nerdy job (marketing analytics consultant). I am an obsessive researcher/learner about any topic I am interested in. At the moment I am focused on food, cooking, sustainable and organic food, building a local (metro) economy, clean eating and transit.

I've been hardcore about topics ranging from basketball, the economics of sports, gender roles in sports, acid jazz, funk, british r&b, gadgets, and building a successful business are off the top of my head topics.

And I am also very outgoing and social. My nicknames are social butterfly and walking yelp. Being nerdy doesn't mean you have no people skills.

My definition of nerd/geek: is having a deep knowledge about a topic, and obsessively participating in/researching/being informed about/or flat out caring about this topic. (And of course sharing this deep knowledge with everyone.) Most people are nerds about something.

Dorks: generally people focused on their studies and more socially awkward, since they haven't managed to translate their interest into something someone else would be interested in. Either someone like-minded or a general audience.
