Nerd Pride Day, or Geek Pride Day, is an initiative which claims the right of every person to be a nerd or a geek. Of Spanish origin ("día del orgullo friki" in Spain), it is celebrated nowadays among Spanish frikis (an equivalent of geeks and nerds).

This day is celebrated on May 25 since 2006, celebrating the premiere of the first Star Wars movie in 1977. So, what do you all want to do? Parade? If so, I want to be on a float -- I've never gotten to do that before!

You know what the difference is between Bill Gates and Barney, my shlubby cousin that lives in his parent's garage?  Bill Gates followed his dreams and pursued his invention. Get that idea out of your head and into the hands of a distributor.
