How To Be A Geek Goddess 349

stoolpigeon writes "The geek world is dominated by those of the male persuasion. For those of us working in a technology related field, or who spend a considerable amount of time pursuing high tech leisure, we usually find women to be in the minority. I've seen considerable discussion over the years on how to change this imbalance but I think it is safe to say that right now that it remains. Many women are interested in using technology, they just don't want to dive in to quite the same depth. Or they may not be interested in the way most men approach it. Columnist and tech-writer Christina Tynan-Wood has attempted to come to their rescue with her book How To Be A Geek Goddess." Read below for the rest of JR's review.

Submission + - Politics for the non-political geek

garfnodie writes: Ok /. crowd, please help me here. I despise politics, I'm sure I'm not the first geek to say that, but I need to not despise it as much as I do. I'm 27 years old and have never voted, not for a president, governor or anything else. I have tried to read up on current political issues, but everytime I do, I get so bored I loose interest and stop reading. I tell myself that it's important and I should continue to read, but I just won't retain the knowledge and learn from it if it does not interest me. So I'm coming to the /. people for help. Are there any good and engaging resources out there for the non-political geek such as me. Something that is well writen, informative, engaging, accurate and up-to-date that I could use to finally feel ready to vote in the upcoming elections. Thanks.
