Sexy Geeks
WIRED's 2006 Sexiest Geeks: Call for Nominees is in progress.
... you know a sexy geek when you see, nay, experience one.
Here's my list of sexy geeks. They're sexy because they're 100 percent geekoids AND more importantly, I know they read my blog. ;-) Sexy brains = sexy geeks.
Ozguru @ G'Day Mate
He may not be blogging these days but he's still a geek and remains a sex god. (wink, wink, Oz.)
Greg @ Reject Reality
We have extremely deep, mind-blowing brain melds, especially when exchanging
email snippets about servers and sonograms.
Tazzy and Piggy
They're constantly changing the design and technology behind their blog, most
likely as often as they change their underoos; that is, if they even WEAR undies. ;-)
Mike Macgirvin
I've known Mike since the early frontier days of the Web. He is continually
coughing up extended versions of his Life in Silicon Valley blog, plus
he named a widget he created after me: the Cindycator. :-) That alone earns him sexy
geek status.
Blue @ Partial to Grey
Blue. *sigh* Killer vocal chords. A voice that makes women... well, you know...
swoon. Blue came to my rescue when I needed help setting up
my microphone and stereo pre-amp way back when I was podcasting.
Al @ 420 Summit
The snarky upstater has been offline and off the radar for months, but he remains
on my all-time sexy geek list simply because he is... a geek. Love ya Al.
Fat and Grumpy F & G, you get the nod because every time I look up the word GEEK your photograph appears. Your image also shows up next to the definition of the word SERVER. My eyeglasses fog up just thinking about it. Need I say more? ;-)
Steven @ Not a Nerd
He's not a nerd but he's definitely a geek. Steve and I go waaaaaaaay back.
Dwight Silverman AND Jim Thompson
@ the Houston Chronicle's Tech Blog
This dynamic duo blog about all things tech-related in a manner that keeps
folks like me constantly returning for more. Their mutual writing styles are
perfectly balanced in a world of nanosecond reading. (Does that make sense?)
Even though I know full well that Dwight leans heavily toward the Windows world,
it's fun to follow his tapdancing when it comes to Apple products. When he
writes about Apple, I see Dwight's grimaced face in my mind, his hands gripped tightly
around a sledgehammer, just about in full swing and headed toward an Apple desktop. ;-)
I easily overlook these things since Dwight sent me my very own Propeller Beanie Cap a long, long
time ago. (yay me!)
And Jim? Jim's cool. He's smart enough to know that you don't wear socks with
Topsiders. ;-) Of course I could go on and on about these two, but then it wouldn't
be fair to all the other geeks.
Regardless of how you look at it, I figured I'd better stop the list there otherwise I'd never stop. So there ya have it - my list of sexy geeks. :-)
NOTE ABOUT TRACKBACKS
I disabled (er, deleted in its entirety) the Trackback function a long time ago. Therefore, logging trackbacks happens when y'all email me and let me know you're linking to something I wrote.

Can a guest appearance on Letterman be far behind? - Jim Thompson.org

I'm flattered... I've been called a lot of adjectives, but that one's, uhm... different.
Of course the sexiest geek is our Cindy-licious hostess. But y'all already knew that.
PS, I haven't looked at the badd cafe in months. Not even sure if that site still works anymore. I'm mostly hanging out at http://cr.unchy.com these days.

I changed the URL to cr.unchy.com :-)

Thanks...
Of course, flattering all of your male readers may have just been a clever ruse to get nominated. It worked.
:-)

Wonder if we could get a calendar going....

Mike - I.can't.believe.you.did.that.
A lovely gesture on your part but...
I am the type of person who prefers being _under_ the radar, so my list was not a ruse.

Kimmy - not a bad idea! :-) Meanwhile, welcome! You have one beautifully designed blog!

Who is Neil Gaiman, BTW????

Ooooooh! Sexy geek's, eh?
*pretends not to have had an email reminder to partake in this exercise*
We's flattered, lady! Flattered indeed!
[P&T: I edited out the middle part.]
I'm really embarrassed that we required prompting to come over and see this post. I know, I know, we've been lacking in visits of late.
*hand suitably slapped*

First of all, wow! I'm floored.
I'm with Mike - I've had a lot of adjectives assigned to me over the years ("trouble" being a recurring theme :) ), however this is a first.
Thanks for giving this geek a grin, Cindy, and congrats the the rest of the winners :)
