Weatherford, Clinton, Hydro, Cordell, Hinton, Elk City and the towns along I-40. A Local Nerd who lives in Weatherford comes to your door, or helps remotely when that's faster.
Pick a time, we come to your door, and you agree to the rate before we start. Remote help works too when that's faster.
In person from $110/hr. $39 books it, and the rest is charged when the work is done. Remote help $39 for 30 minutes. Card only, no cash or checks. You agree to the rate before we start.
Ask anything you like. We'll explain what we're doing while we do it.
If it works in one room and not the next, that's a coverage problem and it's fixable. We start by moving things around, before anybody sells you a bigger bill.
Cleanups, updates, printers that stopped printing, files you can't find, and a backup so one bad day doesn't cost you years of photos.
Getting a new TV going, tidying up the apps, and making the remote situation sane again. Then we show you the three buttons you need.
Photos, contacts, passwords and the settings nobody can find. We'll get it set up the way you want to use it.
If you want to understand it well enough to do it yourself next time, tell us when you book. That's our favorite kind of visit.
Wireless printers drop off the network all the time. We'll get yours connected, printing and scanning, and explain why it keeps disappearing.
Cameras you can pull up when you need them, a doorbell that rings the right phone, a thermostat that keeps its schedule. We set it up and explain it once.
We'll go through what's on there, get rid of what shouldn't be, and show you how to spot the next one.
This is a long, thin market strung along the interstate, and most of its towns never had anybody local doing this work until now. Weatherford has a university and the steadier internet of a college town, and ten miles out in any direction that changes, so a lot of the work is getting the most out of satellite or fixed-wireless service and getting Wi-Fi to the far end of a long house.
Small-town western Oklahoma has a lot of people looking after aging parents in the next town over, and a lot of people who are that parent. We're the no-rush option, and we'll explain the same thing twice.
Our service area is measured in miles from downtown Weatherford, and the hourly rate steps up the farther we drive. That is 42 towns across Oklahoma, covering Custer, Caddo, Washita, Blaine, Dewey and Roger Mills counties.

Somebody two states away is worried that Mom can't get the TV back to normal, or that Dad keeps getting locked out of his email. You can arrange it for them. Book the session or gift a membership and we'll handle it with them directly, at a time that suits.
Send a NerdYes. A Local Nerd lives in Weatherford, and a visit in town is $110 an hour, shown before you book. Hydro, Clinton, Cordell, Hinton and Thomas are in that first band too, Elk City, Burns Flat, Watonga and Carnegie are $130, and Cheyenne is $145. Every town in the market books in person.
For most things, yes. Software, email, accounts, phones, passwords, printers and settings all get handled over a screen share. Hardware failures don't, and if that's what it is, we'll say so without charging you to find out.
Remote help is $39 for a 30-minute session. In-person visits are $110 an hour within 25 miles of downtown Weatherford, $130 in the 25 to 50 mile band and $145 from 50 to 75 miles, and the higher rate is how we pay for the drive. A $39 deposit books an in-person visit and the rest is charged after your Local Nerd finishes and you sign off on the work. Nerd on Call membership is $14.99 a month and includes two remote sessions and an in-person visit a year, plus 20% off anything extra. You always agree to the rate before we start.
Yes. We go at your pace and explain things in everyday words. If you'd like to learn to do it yourself, say so when you book.
Yes, if broken means slow, glitchy, locked out, or won't do what it did last week. We don't open machines up to replace parts, and we don't recover data off a dead drive. When that's the problem, we say so and don't bill you for finding it out.
What opens a market is a Local Nerd who knows the area, likes people, and is good at explaining things. Set your own availability, keep the majority of every booking, and help your neighbors. See what being the Local Nerd in Weatherford involves or apply here.
