I love the movie Real Genius. Made in the 80s, it has remained one of my top ten favorite movies ever since, and I think I figured out why. The Nerd Girl gets her Nerd Boy. As a matter of fact, he turns down a hot chick for her. Oh, and she doesn’t wear glasses… Read More Geek Girls Rule #163 – Nerd Girls and the Media
Sadly this is not an April Fool’s Joke. I just didn’t realize what the date was when I scheduled it. Ok, so we’ve all seen Akira, right?

Ok, so you may have heard that Scott Adams of Dilbert fame opened up his big old mouth, and slipped a foot into it.

Well, I’m coming off the plague, otherwise known as Deth Flu. I’m still coughing my lungs out, constantly, but I’m no longer fevery and stuff. However, while confined to my couch, I watched a lot of stuff. First up, The Unusuals. This ABC series was cancelled mid-season, and I know why. It’s because it’s funny,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #156 – State of the Geek Girl What Rules
So, periodically people who’ve just listened to some of the earlier podcasts or read some of my earlier rantings on wanting to game and not being allowed to by the only gamers I knew (boys), ask me, “So, what did you do?” And I’ve actually been giving that a lot of thought lately. What did… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #155 – What’s a Geek Girl to Do?
To enter, send a color photo of your tattoo to geekgirlsrule@gmail.com before March 15th (I’m partial to the Ides). Rule 1: It must be a tattoo on YOUR body. Meaning, if I get multiple submissions of the same tattoo, unless you can unequivocally prove that it’s yours, everone gets disqualified. Rule 2: Keep it PG-13.… Read More Official Rules for the Geek Girls Rule! Geekiest Tattoo Contest!
