I'm always excited about the progressions of geek chic (especially these particularly awesome manifestations of techno-fashion mesh. video here, fun starts around 12 mins..). but while most of us are trying to give our sisters some good wholesome positive props, our half-assed attempts at fierce-ifying geeky girls are totally missing the boat. this is because we still lack the language to understand geeky girls who didn't become hackers by blogging about being grounded for life or their first prom, as related in this NYT article.. the implications are actually just as dangerous as they are infuriating, that women could only be interested in technology via their own superficial interests like glittering their myspace page.
