Vintage Geeky TV Crush: Noel Crane from Felicity

My college obsession with Felicity coincided with my obsession with Scott Foley's character, Noel Crane.

My college obsession with Felicity coincided with my obsession with Scott Foley's character, Noel Crane. Sure, Ben was hot too, but Noel was where it was at — a total geek who spent his time creating websites as a graphic design major and futzing with a Mac, Photoshop, and fonts — when he wasn't trying to win over Felicity.

Imagine my delighted surprise when I discovered that noelcrane.com — the not-so-fictional website that Noel was working on on the show (a way bigger feat in 1998 than it is today) is still up and running! 'Noelscript' runs at the beginning, apparently telling you how to be Noel. Man geeks? Figure it out and start practicing.

My Geeky TV Crush: Jim Halpert

I've celebrated my boyfriend, the geeky guys I love, and now I've got to give it up for my imaginary boyfriends on Valentine's Day too!

I've celebrated my boyfriend, the geeky guys I love, and now I've got to give it up for my imaginary boyfriends on Valentine's Day too! And my big, ultimate (for right now anyway), TV crush is Jim Halpert. Not John Krasinski, but Jim Halpert.

Is obsessed too strong a word? I've loved Jim since The Office started airing, because he represents my kind of guy — the geeky but adorable guy who was too shy to talk to girls in high school, but who eventually comes into their own based on smarts and a killer personality. I think Jim's a fox, but his attraction, for me, is definitely rooted in his geekiness. I've never swooned harder than when I saw Jim playing Second Life and Call of Duty (the real John's no slouch in the tech department either — he's narrated Ask.com and Apple TV commercials!). Sigh. Happy Valentine's Day, Fake TV Boyfriend!
