Professional Geek.

That’s what I wanted to be when I was a kid. That, or a fireman. For many years, neither dream was to be realized; I labored in the corporate world of commercial insurance. I decided, though, that you’re never too young or crazy to follow a dream, even one you had when you were 11 years old and meeting Andre Norton for the first time. I seized my opportunity, took a deep breath and jumped over the edge...and now offer my services as an online, virtual assistant and social sites manager to media geeks. I'm also back in school, pursuing a Graphic Design Degree. I combine my knowledge of geeky worlds and fandom, with the management, research, writing and people skills I acquired when working the corporate world for almost two decades. I offer month to month, ongoing services and a la carte project services to my clients. Contact me at GeekGyrlFriday@gmail.com to discuss what I can do for you, to make your corner of Geekdom better, and help you share your geeky goodness with the rest of the world.

Frabjous Findings

If you're curious about what a chipper, geeky, goth gyrl might be attracted to, check out these links - they showoff some of the most commonly used tags that I tumble. So, as Culture Club says, I'll tumble for ya!

Maybe I’m just easily amused, but Wheaton simultaneously making fun of a meme AND talking nerdy just did it for ~evil grin~

autonomous floating blimp robot, Ollie

the designer shared the “how to” on his site www.meandollie.com - now, I know it’s meant to be read “me and Ollie” but I can’t help but see “mean dollie”, too ~grin~ And that just makes me want to build a different sort of autonomous blimp robot ~cue evil laugh~

Bobby McFerrin hacks your brain with the pentatonic scale (by FDChannel)

pentatonic scale FTW!

this freaked me out, because I couldn’t NOT sing along, and damned if it didn’t work at home, too…the neurons firing, the notes flying…go on, hit play, and see if you don’t sing along, too…and sing the right notes, without any forknowledge of this video….then smile because that’s just one more way we’re all connected, the science that is our magic, that is our shared mystery.

Pretty cool, huh?

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning
