A weirdo in middle and high school. Nerds was an uncool word back then, but now, I think its perfectly acceptable. A new year and I am still proud to be a nerd. A weirdo in middle and high school.

I don't think I am fully transformed yet, still trying to keep my street cred alive, haha.

I hadn't read the two articles you linked, but have them open for reading now. It is true, geeks are not just boys, but no matter what label or industry you can talk about, women (girls) have always been second class citizens. I still have women who tell me all the time thank you for proving you can break the glass ceiling. It took a long time, but its definitely been worth the ride. I am more appreciative of knowing what struggles I had before I was able to be truly appreciated by my current employment. I definitely think I was raised a geek, but not just with tech, with life. I think the whole details should be a deep dive blog on why I am a geek on my own website. And while Hackers was a movie I did watch over and over, it was yes I could relate to Jolie's character, but I have had a continuous crush on Johnny Lee Miller to this day, as well as Matthew Lillard, crazy I know, but I dig the weirdos. So all the female geeks that read my blog and yours on the East Coast, we got a conference in New York City this weekend. Please join me there so we can continue our evil plan to rid boys of their cooties. <abbr><em>Andrea Baker´s last blog post..<a href="http://andrearbaker.com/2008/11/24/shes-geeky-in-nyc-december-5-7-2008/" rel="nofollow">She’s Geeky in NYC December 5-7, 2008</a></abbr></em> Ari, thanks for a nice companion piece about geeks and our world domination.
