Spoke at Girl Geek Dinner - World Still Intact
Despite my protests I was invited to speak at this past weekend's Girl Geek dinner. I can't tell you guys how great it was to be around a room full of nerd girls. I take back that we shouldn't have support groups, kind of. I still think we could use more time spent focused on accomplishing things. I would love to see more GTD from the ladies. I'm not against us getting together, however. Though it may be a little sexist and counter productive, the positives outweigh the negatives.
Everyone there was so friendly, a girl even gave me her homeabde ring after I complimented it! It seems the whole thing was videotaped and should be going up on their site.
Thanks to the ladies of GGD for inviting me, I look forward to attending another!
Here are some pictures from the GGD facebook page:

Geeks, male or female, are always friendly and nice.
That's why I love to be a geek and I dream a world plenty of geek people! :-)
