Hide your daughters, Atlanta - the Nerd Herd is rolling into town.

How about a feel-good story to start your weekend? The Daily News ran a follow up story today about the Nerd Herd. Word spread like wildfire yesterday about the 4 engineering whizzes possibly being shut out of the Robotic World Festival due to lack of funding. Donations poured in to their Sheepshead Bay school, including a $5,000 donation from James Dyson. It's refreshing to see that even during a day when the Freedom Tower lost its freedom and city's unemployment numbers were a grim reality check, society recognized the chance to be selfless, even if only for a moment.

Watch out, Atlanta.
