Nothing really, I self identify with both.

A Language-Nerd could tell you more.  :)

Both have the same meaning these days.  Nerd seems to come from Dr Seuss, 
derived from Nut via Nert.  Geek comes from the old German Geck.  Both mean a
stupid or foolish person.

A Google search of "etymology Geek" and "etymology Nerd" helps.
