Update on Help a Tiny Geek
Ok, we’ve raised about a hundred dollars so far. We still need $150 to send the Tiny Geek to dinosaur camp. I know you can do this. Trust me, if I could afford to swing it by myself, I would. I can see about hand drawn dinosaur thank you notes next time I talk to… Read More Update on Help a Tiny Geek
Help a Tiny Geek Out.
Ok, so I have a friend. Said friend is going through a bad spell (not entirely of her choosing), and as a result is kind of broke. Said friend also has a seven year old who is a Tiny Geek.

I speak from the experience of building a 20″ x 20″ stained glass window in 36 hours. I, um, have a tendency to… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #128 – At the Speed of Geek

If you have any familiarity with the Fanfic community, you have by now heard of Diana Gabaladon’s epic misstep about Fanfic. She has since offered up a sort of, kind of, ok maybe I misjudged but I’m not really apologizing and I stand by what I said about you being thieves statement.
