The Top 10 Geek Girls of TV!

GeekSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 06:00:03 PDT

It's a fabulous day when I can flop on my couch at night, turn on the tube, and instead of seeing Vanna Whites and Kelly Kapowskis, I'm rewarded with brainy and beautiful ladies: the geek girls of TV. Whether they were my role models and have since been canceled or are ushering in new traditions of a female archetype, I can't stop watching them (and wanting to be them)! So here they are, in no particular order. . .

Geek Girl History Lesson: Ada Lovelace

GeekSugar — Fri, 23 May 2008 10:06:25 PDT

I hope you didn't feel discouraged about being a girl geek by that article awhile back that reported women find technology jobs boring. Buck up, you - not only do you have geeksugar here at your service, there are plenty of fabulous precedents for you like Google's Marissa Mayer, Lifehacker founder and coder Gina Trapani, and a 19th-century girl geek: Ada Lovelace.

Born in 1815 in London, Ada Lovelace is known as the first programmer. Taught to love mathematics by her mother from a young age, she would later write what was known as the world's first computer program for Charles Babbage's, "analytical engine" - a general purpose, early computer.

To this day, Lovelace is remembered as the first coder and has received a few tributes: the computer language Ada is named for her, her picture is on Microsoft's holographic authenticity stickers, and The British Computer Society awards a medal to female computer science students in her name.

Thanks for representing, Ada!

The Green and Geeky Life of Jill Fehrenbacher

GeekSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 05:00:59 PDT

Look what I found in this month's issue of Domino! It's geeksugar favorite eco blogger Jill Fehrenbacher! We swooned over the perfect geeky coupling of Jill and Engadget's Peter Rojas last year, and now, the happily-married Inhabitat founder has been profiled in Domino's ongoing "My Green Life" series - which shows a day in the life of an eco-conscious person.

Jill is a green goddess, but what I love about her is her love of and dependence on tech, which often comes through on her blog. In this column, she admits to fantasizing over a MacBook Air, and points us to some awesome websites: Project Earth Day (a green fashion competition) and Freeplay Energy (eco-friendly gadgets).

Adorable, cool, and intelligent - Jill Fehrenbacher is my eco/green/techie idol!

Geeky Girl We Love: Amber Mac

GeekSugar — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 09:00:00 PDT

Amber Mac is a Canadian journalist and geeky blogger whose site, Amber Mac, has been one of my favorites since day one. It features videos from her TV reporting, her insight on techie subjects and top headlines. She also happens to be a Mac-addict, which leads me to believe we were meant to be BFF. For the full interview,

read more Geeksugar: Tell us a bit about yourself. How did you become a blogger and when did you start the site? Amber: I started blogging in 2004 on Blogger.com. As a journalist, my personal blog helps me to have a forum to really post what I find interesting on a daily basis whether it's suitable for a story or not. Geeksugar: How many hours are you online everyday? Amber: I probably spend at least 8 hours a day online, maybe more. Geeksugar: Your first computer was a... Amber: My first computer was many, many years ago. I'd like to say it was a Mac, but it was definitely a PC (it used 8-inch floppies). Geeksugar: What the vision for your site and some of the stories you're most proud of? Amber: My vision for my site is simply a place for me to share things that I find interesting, funny, and clever. Geeksugar: What is your favorite thing about your job? What is your favorite thing about the site? Amber: My favourite thing about my job is that I get to actually try to bridge the gap between new media and mainstream media. As for my site, I love that no one monitors what I'm posting so I can say whatever I like. It's pure web freedom. Geeksugar: Any funny stories about being a blogger? Amber: The funniest story I have about being a blogger is when I posted that I had free Joost invites (40 of them) and I got hundreds and hundreds of replies. Geeksugar: How many blogs are in your RSS reader? Amber: I read dozens of blogs, but mostly I love BoingBoing.net. Geeksugar: Describe a typical day at work for you. Amber: I wake up at 7am, surf the web, eat some breakfast, go for a run, head to Citytv for our daily news meeting, and then it's game-on for the day. I file a news report every day, so it's busy but fulfilling. Geeksugar: Name a blogger you admire and tell us why. Amber: I admire Cory Doctorow from BoingBoing because he's always finding cool new stuff. Geeksugar: How do you feel about being called a "geek"? Amber: I love being called a geek, it's an honor. Geeksugar: What is the geekiest thing about yourself? Amber: I love web usability. Check out our other interviews with geeky girls.

Geeky Girl We Love: Katie Lee of Shiny Shiny

GeekSugar — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 09:01:23 PDT

Katie Lee is the editorial director of Shiny Media, the UK's biggest blog publishing company. She edits Shiny Shiny, a spunky, smart and fun UK gadgets blog that every geek girl should put on her "must read" list. For the full interview with Katie,

read more Geeksugar: Tell us a bit about yourself. How did you become a blogger? Katie: I was a technology writer working at What Laptop magazine and felt like gadgets weren’t really being covered in women’s magazines. It seemed crazy to me, but after getting one tiny piece in Marie Claire I was still frustrated by their reluctance to feature technology. Then I met Ashley Norris (another technology writer) at a press launch. He already had Tech Digest, which he’d set up with Chris Price (yet another tech journo) and I was a blogging obsessive – reading loads of them when I should have been working. So it seemed natural that we should set up a partnership, which is how Shiny Shiny developed. I joined them in the freelance world and we set up Shiny Media, which we ran in our spare time until this year when all three of us went full time. Geeksugar: What are your hobbies besides blogging? Katie: There are things beside blogging?! Actually, I’m fully hobbied up: I like crochet, yoga, reading, playing computer games, cutting things down in the garden, DIY, going for long walks, watching LOTs of TV. Occasionally I hit a guitar and attempt to sing along. Geeksugar: How many hours are you online everyday? Katie: I’d say anything from 9-15 a day. Geeksugar: Your first computer was a ... Katie: One of the old green screen Amstrad PCWs. We had one at home so I used to show all the other girls how to do stuff in the IT classes. I was (then, as now) an insufferable know-it-all. Before that, my primary school also had an old BBC Microcomputer which I was totally besotted by and used to stay late to play on. Sad sad sad. Geeksugar: What are three things you featured on Shiny Shiny that you really want? Katie: I’m really lucky to have pretty much every gadget my heart desires, but there are a couple of things left that I’d like. An HD JVC Everio would be nice, one of Denon’s obscenely expensive sound systems and I’d also really like an electric car or scooter so I can attempt to kill myself on the mean streets of London (or spend the rest of my adult life sitting in traffic, which is more likely). Geeksugar: What is your favorite thing about your job? What is your favorite thing about Shiny Shiny? Katie: When I worked on a magazine I used to feel terrible about the amount of time I spent skiving off on the internet. Now that’s my job. Yay me! My favourite thing about Shiny Shiny? The fact that it’s a funny website for women – turns out women do have a sense of humour (something I’ve long suspected). Geeksugar: Any funny stories about being a blogger? Katie: There’s nothing we love more at Shiny Towers than a morning spent comparing the levels of craziness represented by our various web-stalkers. And we like the hate mail on YouTube as well. Geeksugar: How many blogs are in your RSS reader? Katie: Well, I have quite a few different RSS readers now (which, on reading this back, I realize makes me sound like even more of a saddo), but my Bloglines has 142 blogs in it. I’m not sure if that’s a lot or not. I still go crazy and actually *visit* some of the blogs I read (sheer madness, I know). Geeksugar: Describe a typical day at work for you. Katie: Get into the office at 9ish, read emails, read blogs, type lots of emails, send lots of Skype messages, phone a few people, go to some really boring meetings, occasionally actually *write* a blog entry (don’t get to do that as much these days), meet up with new bloggers, old bloggers, journos wanting to blog, non-bloggers wanting to blog, check on new blog launches (design, copy etc), read more blogs, chat to Shiny girls, have a pointless argument with Susi about something trivial, mock one of the Shiny girls for being a geek (or vice versa), drink tea, eat food, have a disagreement about what music to listen to, laugh at something on YouTube, send more emails. Then I go home and read more blogs, write the odd blog posts, watch TV (on computer or on TV), fanny around on the internet. I live a full and varied life. Geeksugar: Who do you think are the top 5 sexiest male geeks in the world? Katie: Surely the two are mutually exclusive?! I have no idea what he looks like, but Joel Johnson is my geek hero – for making Gizmodo so funny for so long. Geeksugar: Who do you think are the top 5 sexiest female geeks in the world? Katie: Gizmodo put me in their top ten blogging babes list. I wasn’t best pleased (though, perhaps perversely, I felt all fuzzy when Nandini picked me). Geeksugar: Name a blogger you admire and tell us why. Katie: God, where to start?! Tom Reynolds for writing a blog that’s endlessly compelling, shocking, exciting, funny and passionate. Eurotrash, for sharing too much and making me laugh. And the Underpaid Kept Woman for writing a blog about being a mother that is funny even if you don’t have/like/want kids. Geeksugar: How do you feel about being called a “geek”? Katie: I did the Geek test and only came up 36.09 geek. I felt cheated. Geeksugar: What is the geekiest thing about yourself? Katie: The fact that I wanted to score higher on the geek test. Geeksugar: What is your goal for Shiny Shiny? Katie: I'd like to teach the world to sing.

Geeky Girl We Love: Ingrid Diaz of Play Girlz

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 09:04:19 PDT

Ingrid Diaz is one of those women that proves geek is chic while bashing the misnomer that girls can't love video games and celebrity gossip. She's the co-editor of Play-Girlz, a fun site that "proudly shows that gaming isn't just a guy sport," and the editor of Grey's Anatomy News and Top Model Gossip. Besides being a great ying/yang combo, Diaz is pretty hilarious and not afraid to admit she likes to frighten the neighbors by singing loudly and off-key while she plays video games. She's also the first geeky gal to admit she thinks Bill Gates is sexy...or maybe that was her joking again... For the full interview,

read more Geeksugar: Tell the geeksugar fans how you became a blogger. Ingrid: Hmm. A little about myself. Well, I’m a level 70 human mage. Currently fire/frost specced, though this changes … Oh. You meant the “real” me. Ahem. Well, my professional career began at the ripe age of eight when I became the President of the Nintendo club on my street. It came complete with uniforms (white t-shirts with Nintendo logo patches expertly stitched on by un-talented eight-year-old hands…) Then came the obsessive collecting of video game consoles whenever they’d come out. Then came the moment a couple of years ago when I was offered the chance to get paid for my video gaming obsessions. A good friend of mine, Erin Harvey, emailed me out of the blue and said, “Hey you want to write on this video games blog with me?” and I was like “Hm. Write about video games? For money? Let me contemplate this deeply and in the lotus position…” and then I had a phone meeting with Jeremy Wright of b5media and Play Girlz was born. Geeksugar: The most obvious question: So many people think girls aren’t gamers or geeks – what do you say to them? Ingrid: Well I probably wouldn’t say anything. I’d email them, or IM them, or send in-game tells with disapproving emotes. And then it’s likely that I’d challenge them to a “friendly” PvP duel, pwn them, and then do a little victory dance … and then I’d do my nails. Geeksugar: What are your three favorite video games? Ingrid: World of Warcraft, SingStar (I like to frighten the neighbors by singing loudly and off-key), and Grand Theft Auto (I like stealing cars… in the game … not in real life … erm…) Geeksugar: How many hours are you online everyday? Ingrid: Depends on the day, but usually anywhere from 12-18. Geeksugar: Your first computer was a ... Ingrid: Desperate attempt by a 10-year-old to create a super computer out of duct tape, construction paper, and a series of other household items that didn’t work out quite the way she’d planned. She was then forced to turn it into a space ship (this didn’t work out very well either…) My first working computer a Texas Instrument something or other that only had a chess game on it. I played a lot of chess. Geeksugar: What is your favorite thing about your job? What is your favorite thing about the sites? Ingrid: It gives me a chance to re-label all of my dorky, geeky, and previously known as “procrastinating activities” as “working.” Geeksugar: Any funny stories about being a blogger? Ingrid: Noooo … this is a very serious business. SERIOUS. No laughing allowed. *whispers* This conversation isn’t bugged, is it? Geeksugar: How many blogs are in your RSS reader? Ingrid: Uh… 543. I have an unhealthy addiction to the subscription button… Geeksugar: What are some of your non-geeky hobbies? Ingrid: Um. Er. Hrm. I like to juggle … that’s not geeky, is it? Oh! I like shop! …. Online. Hm. Geeksugar: Who do you think are the top 5 sexiest male geeks in the world? Ingrid: Marshall on Alias, Bill Gates (so sexy), and the Lone Gunmen on X-Files (does that count as 3?) Geeksugar: Who do you think are the top 5 sexiest female geeks in the world? Ingrid: Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Brennan from Bones, Oracle on Birds of Prey, Elphaba on Wicked, and Abby on NCIS. Geeksugar: Name a blogger you admire and tell us why. Ingrid: Caitlin R. Kiernan. Well, she’s not really a professional blogger per say, since she’s actually a fiction author, but her online journal is a must-read for me. I love her style and her beliefs about writing and I’ve always found her to be a big inspiration. Her books are awesome if you’re into dark fantasy type stories. Geeksugar: How do you feel about being called a “geek”? Ingrid: I feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love it. It’s so much better than being told I’m “normal.” What a dreadful tragedy that would be. Geeksugar: What is the geekiest thing about yourself? Ingrid: After much contemplating and running it through my super computer (still made out of duct tape and construction paper) I have calculated that the geekiest thing about me is 7.82. Geeksugar: Anything else you want to share? Ingrid: Gum. I have gum. Would you like some? Check out our other interviews with geeky girls.

Geeky Girl We Love: Mia Kim - Part Deux

GeekSugar — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 04:15:49 PDT

This is part two in a series of two interviews with Mia Kim, the founder and editor-in-chief of Popgadget, a lifestyle magazine that embraces technology as a regular and essential part of women's lives. Not only do I look up to her as a leader in the geeky girls movement, but I'm inspired by her business savvy and natural chicness. For part two,

read more Yesterday, Mia shared some of her background and hobbies, which include cooking and not programming a Commodore 64. Geeksugar: Any funny stories about being a blogger? Mia: The funniest thing about being a blogger is that you develop real relationships with other bloggers- but you rarely meet in person even if you IM, email all the time and become good friends. At this year's CES, Popgadget had a three person team: me, Stuart Memo from Glasgow, and Evan Hosie who's in California. Our first night there, we were meeting in the hotel lobby, and despite the fact that we were colleagues who knew each other pretty well, we all walked around and around the hotel passing each other because we'd never seen each other. We kept circling each other until Evan called and said, "I think you're standing right in front of me." Geeksugar: How many blogs are in your RSS reader? Mia: Yikes, it's over 350. But I have to admit that there are only about 20 that I read every single day. The others get a weekly scan and yet I'm still constantly looking for new feeds. Geeksugar: Describe a typical day at work for you. Mia: I just can't do the 15-hour "blogger in their underwear" routine anymore. I was feeling like I wasn't a part of the human race anymore so I break up my work day, make sure I do other things like eat and walk the dogs. Mornings are rough because I'm a terrible sleeper and have probably been up half the night but I always want to get to email straight away and check on Popgadget posts and start IM chats with the other writers. Then I'm in research mode for a few hours- reading everything in sight. Pop Life Media (the umbrella that publishes Popgadget and Babygadget) also has another side, new media consulting, so I need to set aside a few hours for working with clients and coordinating that work. We don't have a publicist so I'm on the phone a lot, talking to companies and to news people. We also don't have a full-time tech person, so I'm often doing the troubleshooting of the site. We had a server crash a few weeks ago, and after we migrated, I was working on getting the site back up for about a week straight. Never been so tired or stressed in my life. Geeksugar: Who do you think are the top 5 sexiest male geeks in the world? Mia:

Grant Achatz- the chef-owner of Alinea in Chicago. He'd make you dinner, 22nd century style: vaporized cocktails, lobster in the form of edible paper, and an exploding souffle for dessert.
Matt Mullenweg, founder of Wordpress. I'm surprised he's not a bigger tech celeb because who doesn't love a 22-year old genius with a hot property, but he's a soft-spoken, thoughtful guy who'd probably shy away from all that. I'd put him on the cover of Tech Teen Beat.
Masi Oka, who plays Hiro on Heroes. He may not have superpowers, but he's a real-life CGI effects artist, so he could just fake it. And maybe he'd give you some Heroes' spoilers.
Douglas Krone, the owner/founder of Dynamism.com , which imports the most amazing computers and gadgets from Japan about a million years before we'll see them here. I consider myself an early adopter but anytime I see Douglas he's got a phone that does, like, satellite communications with Mars Rover, and is also a high-def video camera and personal MRI scanner.
Ray Kurzweil, the futurist and writer of The Singularity is Near. I believe we are all spiritual beings, I do, but I have doubts and dark moments, and during those times I'd love for Kurzweil to preach to me about how in 500 years, I'll be sitting around with my family and my dogs, in our cyborg bodies, with our holographically assisted brains, and we'll still, essentially, be ourselves. And in 500 years, finally, we will really be driving flying cars. Wouldn't you want to be there too?

Geeksugar: Who do you think are the top 5 sexiest female geeks in the world?

Gina Trapani, of lifehacker.com. Lifehacker is the site I wish I'd created and Gina just seems like the type of woman I'd love to be friends with. I can just imagine our PC vs Mac conversations over french fries and highly caffeinated drinks in a Brooklyn diner. Sadly, I really can.
Molly Wood, from CNET. At CES this year, I was a bit under the weather and kept complaining that we weren't seeing anything interesting. Then Stuart told me that he spotted Molly Wood at some event and I spent the rest of CES trying to find her so I could casually tell her that she's my favorite podcaster and that I get a thrill every time she mentions Popgadget.
Katherine Moriwaki, of personaldebris.com , who is an interactive artist and new media lecturer. She writes for Popgadget and is a good friend, but I'm in awe of how much she knows about technology, and she's the most uncompromising person I know. She and her husband Jonah Brucker-Cohen are THE tech geek supercouple as far as I'm concerned.
Katie Salen game designer and director of the Design Tech program at Parson's School of Design. She's one of the most engaging speakers I've ever encountered. She's so good that when she came to speak at a class I was teaching, my students had so much fun, it completely changed the chemistry of the class for the rest of the semester.
Rebecca K. Rowe, whose first novel Forbidden Cargo blends hard sci-fi about genetic engineering with politics and lots of action. It's the antithesis to the the unicorn and space princess type type book that so many people tend to associate with women science fiction/fantasy writers.

Geeksugar: Name a blogger you admire and tell us why. Joseph Stirt of Book of Joe. Joe, unlike so many bloggers, doesn't play the blog game at all, meaning he doesn't just read blogs and link his favorite posts. His posts are about books and art and things he encounters offline. He says he reads no blogs at all and I believe him. That's what makes him a great blogger. Geeksugar: How do you feel about being called a “geek”? Mia: I don't mind being called a geek at all. I don't think it means what it used to-bringing to mind someone of questionable social skills and even more questionable grooming. Being a geek is just about being enthusiastic, about really loving something and needing to talk about it, write about it. Geeksugar: What is the geekiest thing about yourself? Mia: My friends know it drives me crazy knowing that their virus definitions are three years old and they've got porn pop-ups all over their screen from some site they "accidentally" visited, so I do a complete tech checkup whenever I go over to their houses. After that, I can relax. Geeksugar: What is your goal for the site? Mia: It amazes how far we've come and now we're at a point when we're talking to big media companies and investors and trying to figure out the next step to help us grow into a bigger network of sites providing innovative content for women. We are also planning a lot of things outside of the blogs- we want to be a lifestyle brand. Geeksugar: What else is up in the Popgadget world? Mia: We just launched our email, which is weekly, and will have all kinds of content that isn't on the site, and will have exclusive discounts and giveaways. We'll be giving away some very cool things and saving some of our best stories for the email. And it's free so people should sign up.

Geeky Girl We Love: Mia Kim of Popgadget

GeekSugar — Sun, 11 Mar 2007 23:32:00 PDT

Last month we featured some of the cutest geeky couples and bachelors in the blogoshere, which left many of you wondering - what about the women? Fear not my fine friends, we were just saving the best for last. March is Women's History Month so I figured there was no better way to celebrate than to highlight some of the smartest, most creative and successful women on the internet.

Mia Kim is the founder and editor-in-chief of Popgadget, a lifestyle magazine that embraces technology as a regular and essential part of women's lives. Not only do I look up to her as a leader in the geeky girls movement, but I'm inspired by her business savvy and natural chicness. For part one of the interview,

read more Geeksugar: Tell us a bit about yourself. How did you become a blogger? Mia: I went to NYU Film School with the idea that I was going to write and direct movies, and filmmakers are so in demand that I became.... a statistical programmer. But I didn't love programming, and wanted to do something that merged tech with something more creative so I went to NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program for my Master's. I graduated at the height of the dot com boom, and had fun jobs with monied startups and then of course, it all exploded and I ended up doing a much more traditional media job, as the new media director of a huge traditional entertainment company. I felt stifled again, and had to get out- so I started my own tech consulting company and dreamed up Popgadget. There were zero publications for women that had any significant technology coverage, online or offline, and that drove me crazy. After percolating in my head for several years, I just opened up a Blogger account and started Popgadget on my own in April 2004. Geeksugar: What are your hobbies besides blogging? Mia: Cooking, especially baking. Making an intricate dish is meditative for me and I dream now about going to culinary school someday. I will always be in love with movies so I like to go see everything. I still write screenplays, hope to do something with them someday. Mostly though, I'm obsessed with my dogs and pop culture so if I'm not working I can be found in my bedroom surrounded by a couple of naughty dogs, a stack of magazines (US Weekly perched on top, most likely), newspapers, a ton of books, and some homemade cookies. I love to travel, and my husband and I make plans all the time to do an all-around-the world trip just as soon as we have the time and the means. Geeksugar: Tell me a little about the Popgadget team... Mia: For about the first year of Popgadget, it was pretty much just me writing at night after work. Then a couple of amazing women, Camilla Beltrami and Regine Debatty (We Make Money Not Art), both in Italy at the time, started helping me out with the writing, just because they loved the idea and they both totally upped the game, and made me realize that we had something good. My sister, Hoyun Kim, who was a corporate lawyer then decided to help me turn Popgadget into a real business and she's now the publisher and we have two sites (Babygadget is the second), with at least seven more in the pipeline and nearly 20 writers from all across the world. Geeksugar: How many hours are you online everyday? Mia: I was going to say that I am rarely online for more than 10 hours a day because I just literally get eyestrain and have to unplug but that's not strictly true. My Treo is never off, even when I'm in a movie theater, and so I check emails, texts, and IMs pretty much 24/7. I also have a Verizon wireless broadband card so if I'm going to be away from my desk for any significant time, I will have my laptop with me and can get online without having to look for a wifi signal. Geeksugar: Your first computer was a ... Mia: I wish I could say I had serious geek cred and came out of the womb programming a Commodore 64, but no such luck - I think I was 20 when I got my first computer, and it was a tiny, and incredibly slow Gateway notebook that barely worked. It was a hand-me-down of several generations. I didn't own a brand-new computer until I got a Dell Latitude notebook which could hold a maximum 32 mb of RAM. I thought it was awesome and used it for 6 years. Since then, I probably average a new computer a year, alternating between a new notebook and a new desktop. Geeksugar: What are three things you featured on the site that you really want? Mia: Not a day goes by that I don't long for the Sony Vaio G1. It's only released in Japan (but available from Dynamism.com) and is just over 2 lbs, with the optical drive built-in. The Kinetix Blender from Breville. Again it's not yet available in the US, but it moves around the ingredients in the jar so you can make smoothies without having to stop the blending to break up the fruit and ice. The Just In Time watch. This is still in development, so you can't buy it yet, but it's a watch that not only tells time but uses GPS to track you and traffic conditions so it will let you know how long it's going to take you to get to your next appointment. I'm late for everything but I swear it's the traffic every time! I so need this. Geeksugar: What is your favorite thing about your job? What is your favorite thing about Popgadget? Mia: I love that my job is to be clued in to all things new and innovative- I'm a total neophile. I love reading the speculation about what's ahead. My favorite thing about Popgadget is that it's turned out to be exactly the thing that I had in my head about 10 years ago. I wanted something that melded together techie stuff with things that are silly, fun, sometimes even frivolous. Tech isn't a chore, it's fun and I wanted other women to be able to see that. This is part one in a series of two interview with Mia Kim. Come back tomorrow to check out who Mia thinks are the sexiest geeky girls and guys on the internet!
