NER: Why isn't there a nest board for geekery?

Are women not supposed to be into geeky things?  Not that I am, just curious...

  • Yeah, things like that, etc.  Haha, right, I'm too busy thinking about decorating, makeup, and my uterus to think about anything else!

    ?

    You should probably spend less time on make-up and more on your uterus. ?

  • There was a secret board for Gadgets a while back.  For the life of me, I have no idea if it still exists or not.  Now I must try to find it again....

  • It's because our little lady brains can't handle the complexities of technology. Duh.

  • b/c gadgets don't help you get your "bump". maybe if geeks came up with something like that it could be added to the innumerable bump boards.

    OMG, that's hilarious.  Is it bad that I was on both the yearbook staff and the forensics team, both mentioned in the wad article?  Bonus: I was also on the Academic Challenge team.  For realz.  

    My only redeeming quality: Have never played or wanted to play D&D, but *gasp* my husband played it in middle school.  I judge him endlessly for this.

    Lame!  I want to go somewhere to talk about the new MacBooks in a lady way, and not just brave the regular internet.  I figure I'm only allowed a few NER posts a day, and most shouldn't involve gadgets.

  • And the frequent clashes between the nation's dorkwad-controlled yearbook staffs and its gaywad-run school newspapers are well documented.

    I was on yearbook and journalism. I can finally stop punching myself in the face now, phew. I wonder which wad category marching band falls into?

  • I'll talk Macbooks with you bunny!

    Does the macbook pro also have that new "unibody" thing goin' on?

  • BunnyBean, you might enjoy this blog... it's targeted towards women, but as far as I can tell it's just cool new gadgets that come out.

    I love staying up to date on this stuff, even though I'm not an early adopter (I don't even have an mp3 player).

    Oh, I don't know!!  DH just got a new MacBook and it's totally awesome.  I will ask him about the Pro.

    Okay, in the picture, the kid on the left totally looks like my cousin, and the kid on the right sort of looks like my brother back in the day.

    ooo a new one! I'm jealous. That's the one that doesn't have button on the keypad right? 

    I still don't have leopard. ::hides under a rock in my stoneage cave::

  • Thanks, Brookles, I will check that out!  I also enjoy geeksugar.com as well. 

    I just want a message board format!

    The Girl is 5. The Boy is 2. The Dog is 1.

    I am the 99%.
  • Thanks, mominatrix!

    Yes caden, it doesn't have the button--he seems to love it.  I love the backlit keyboard, and it just runs everything so well.

    You need Leopard!  I really like it better, and think it runs so well.

  • There used to be a Nest tech board! It was "secret" though, kind of how E08 used to be. I'm not sure if it's still there.... it might be.

  • I'm totally a geek.  But, I have geek forums where I participate.  No need to add that here.  It would probably just be idiots wandering over with mac vs pc debates a la is obama a muslim?
