She Geek Critique – What Is Geek?

If you read my blogs regularly (or listen to Geek Watch One), you know I got a new car a few months ago. Along with that, obviously, came new license plates. It should surprise no one that I got myself vanity plates – they say “SHE GEEK”. What I didn’t realize when I chose what was a (to me) pretty self-explanatory phrase was that I would actually need to explain it on a relatively regular basis.  Continue reading She Geek Critique – What Is Geek?

Now, I know that this is going to sound a little “us vs them”, but I’m just stating facts. Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Watering Down the Brand
