Gurl geeks know the value of a dollar. They also bought Google stock back when it had its unconventional initial public offering and would never dream of letting Bernie, or anyone else for that matter, handle their hard-earned cash thankyouverymuch. They also know the milkaholic baby in the E-Trade commercial is supposed to be Lindsay Lohan (duh, and we also think it's friggin' hilarious), but

As we have already established in a prior post, geeks eat junk food. I don't know that it's actually that geeks like junk food, it's just that junk food is convenient, and we do like convenience... especially if it means we don't have to leave the computer screen for any length of time. Junk food tends to be "continuing-to-work-while-I-eat" friendly. Glamorous geeks on the other hand, long for

Today I am sending you off to explore my "other" blog, Style & Angst. I posted a HUGE list of great web deals, sales and coupons yesterday, mainly for the whole "Mother's Day" thing (geeks always wait until the last minute) but the majority of them will still be good for some time, and some will even get you through the summer. So bop on over there, bookmark the page so you have it for

As geeks, we optimize our hard drive. We optimize our database. We optimize our images. We optimize our browser (Firefox of course, or maybe Chrome... never, ever Explorer). What's left to optimize?If you are of an age to remember DOS, WordPerfect or Banyan Vines, it's probably about time you optimized your skin. Fortunately for us "old-timers," Yves Rocher has a botanical skin optimizer that

I love my Love Sac! We actually own two in the size commonly referred to as "The Big One" that we use for our "home theater seating" (all true geeks have a home theater, ya know). Though it looks like one, this is NOT a bean bag chair. In fact, comfort-wise it's about as far from a bean bag chair as you can get. These babies are stuffed with chunks of visco elastic foam and they are heavenly to

This fabulous little copper and gold leaf vase by Olimpia and Pepe Barba is offered by Novica.comI am a huge fan of Novica because, in association with National Geographic, Novica works to publicize the work of artists around the world who otherwise might go virtually unnoticed. As a result of Novica offering this art to a worldwide audience, many of these artists can begin to enjoy a much higher

A few of us old-timers might remember when Microserfswas first published in Wired, about a million years ago it seems. It was a fabulous humorously-written tale of life as an ubergeek working at Microsoft "a mega software company." When one programmer was chastised by Bill Gates "The Boss" he secluded himself in his office with his 'puter for days and his buddies, concerned for his welfare, would

Gurl Geek jewelry! Who knew a dendrite, which is a crystal that grows in a tree-like structure (think branches of coral in the sea) could be so fashionable? And not only that, YOU GET TO DESIGN YOUR OWN! One-of-kind Gurl Geek jewelry! BONUS!These works of art are made of stainless steel, hung from an 18" sterling silver chain, and are absolutely gorgeous! And priced at just $60, you get to

For the gurl geek on the go, you just can't beat Vivienne Tam's digital clutch, actually a HP®Mini 1000® laptop. Think of it as a high-fashion notebook, and it's loaded with geeky goodness.This baby weighs a slight 2.5lbs., has an almost full-size keyboard and can keep you up to date with your email, IMs, and surfing while the webcam and microphone keep the chat going as you fashionably go

Rhinestones are a funny thing. They can be gorgeous but it's oh-so-easy for them to cross over into beyond trashy that it takes a particular skill to use them well and still retain a certain elan. Like the rhinestone-studded laptop from which I glam your day... not a Hello Kitty in sight, just white sparkly goodness. Geeky sparkle without the "I shop at K-Mart" factor. Flashy but not trashy,

I'm half Irish. I have paler skin than Michael Jackson. I have freckles. I don't *do* sun. Ever. Of course I'm also a gurl geek, so I'm not usually awake during daylight hours anyway. But if I were to actually leave the house during daylight hours for any longer than it takes me to walk down the drive and grab the snail mail while screaming, "Bright light! Bright light!" I'd definitely use

OK, I gotta admit, I *so* want one. Though I could definitely live without the "worms crawling under your skin and munching your flesh" sound effects. Ick.

Because nothing sez glamorous geek like glowing in the dark. These snazzy hats (amongst a large assortment of fabulously geeky attire) are designed by Janet Cooke Hansen, President and Chief Fashion Engineer of Enlighted Designs, Inc. Not only is Janet one fashionable CookIe, but she's sublimely geeky too... to the extent of being a bonafied mechanical engineer and molecular biologist. We're
