won a cnbc student stock competition when I was in grade 8. I signed up some friends as team members and never told them until their class pictures were needed to be on cnbc.

Started kindergarten at age 4 and skipped 4th grade.

In sixth grade I got to create and enter RPG-II punch cards on a room-sized computer that had a line printer for it's "screen"

In high school computer class I turned in my Apple ][ homework on floppies w/ a relocated VTOC and hacked version of AppleDOS, which forced the teacher to boot to my floppy to grade my assignments.

More recently,
I had a T-1 line and 25 computers in my basement.

Completed 50,000 work units of Seti @ Home in a year.

Nothing major, no national fame, no meaningful accomplishments...just overdid stuff in nerdy ways.

Blue ribbon in many a grade school science fair, and national merit scholar. That said, [censored] the man and his BS awards. They only try to suck you into working on the plantation.

When finally giving up my Everquest playing I sold my account for about fifteen hundred bucks. Broken down by hours played I probably earned a whopping 25 cents an hour or so, go me.

oh I and my ex sold our 2 everquest accounts for $10,000 total, forgot about that.

I spent most of my senior year of high school programming a blackjack program on my TI-85. It took up 75% of its memory and took over 5 minutes to compile. Good times.

I came like 8th on a national math competition( Im from Chile) when I was on 8th grade.
I was the manager of a chess league and the moderator of its forum. One day I went apeshit and ruined the whole thing, I ruined every thread, I edited ppl posts, I insulted the admins, it was AWESOME.
Btw mods dont try this on 2+2.

edit: The nerd accomplishment is being the manager and moderator of the league, the ruining part is just an anecdote.
