Throughout the summer I’ve been carrying around my women’s specific CamelBak day pack. I’ve had it with me at cons to keep everything I needed within easy grasp, and I’ve used it as a carry on for trips. I picked it up on Woot a while back for $20, and it was

There were some interesting things on the internet this week- Check my top 5: 5. This Buzzfeed article ranking J.D. Salinger characters by dateability. Anyone who knows my Holden Caufield rant knows how gald I am he wasn’t number 1. (It’s a good book, but he’s a little shit.) 4. Also in

Editor Note: This is a mix of the FAQ and event list from the Cincinnati Comic Expo website instead of a traditional press release. I thought this was the best way to get you the most thorough information. General FAQ for Cincinnati Comic Expo Q: When is the Cincinnati Comic Expo?  A: September 13 –

My husband (a power engineer) asked if I had any interest in playing Power Grid several months ago. His friends/co-workers loved the game and he wanted to give it a try. Since I’m always trying to get him interested in gaming, I jumped on the opportunity. We opened it up, tried to

If you’ve read my reviews of Treehugger and Risktaker, you may have noticed that I’ve become a huge fan of Kea Alwang. While meant for young adults, her books have a unique way of connecting with geek girls of all ages. She was kind of enough to spend some time talking to me

Maybe it’s just me, but drinking and reading seem to go really well together. Whiskey with Hemingway and Twain. Merlot with Anne Rice. Craft beer with Hornsby. And now the Indianapolis Literary pub crawl, benefiting Indy Reads. After learning about the Chicago Librarian Pub Crawl, but never being able to attend, Erin

I’ve been thinking about this for week. Trying to be calm, taking deep breaths- the experts know best right? There’s always some piece of information the general populace doesn’t have, right? Wrong. SERIOUSLY DC?! SERIOUSLY?! Ben Affleck?!!!!!! You have got to be kidding me- have you even SEEN Daredveil? Are you TRYING

Geek Girls, we don’t get a ton of songs written about us. When we do, they tend to be borderline fetishizing. A guy who’s in love with some geek girl from afar, or she’s pretty with a side of geek. A genuine “you’re awesome” song is hard to come by. But when we

Update: I’ve removed the Sony DR-ZX701IP. The right ear went out after about six months of office use. Unacceptable. I am not an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination. I can’t fine tune my stereo, I don’t can’t match tones, and I certainly don’t know pitch. However, I do know when something

Update: I suggest looking at the new, rereleased versions of Herbal Essences saying they were sulfate free. They added confusing packaging (the shampoo is silicone free, and the conditioner is sulfate free. Which means next to nothing because that’s normal). When we’re at conventions, I’m often asked by my fellow geek girls “how do you get your
