A Girl’s Guide to Geek Guys

08-Sep-2004 By Jim

This is basically correct, although I’d argue (as those who know me would expect) that a geek is “a nerd with social skills”; what’s described in this article is essentially your average nerd, or something in-between. Nonetheless, the more insight women — that is, potential mates — have about the Geek Species, the better.

So, your crush on the bass player from Vibrating Sandbox has finally died a whimpering death and you’re wondering where to go from here. All the sinister dudes are either dating a series of interchangeable high-school riot girls in baby doll dresses and an overdose of manic panic, or permanently shacked up with some bitter old lady who pays all the bills. Which will it be, a wifely prison or a humiliating one night stand? Into this void of potential mates comes a man you may not have considered before, a man of substance, quietude and stability, a cerebral creature with a culture all his own. In short, a geek.

The purpose of education? Not education.

Chris Acheson writes, “John Taylor Gatto is a former New York City school teacher. During his 30-year career, he has taught at 5 different public schools, has had his teaching license suspended twice for insubordination, and was once covertly terminated while on medical leave. He has also won the New York City Teacher of the Year award three times and the New York State Teacher of the Year award once during the final year of his career. The whole time he has been an outspoken critic of the school system. Nine years after leaving his career, he published The Underground History of American Education (full text available here), in which he puts forth his insider’s vision of what is wrong with American schooling. His verdict is not what you’d expect: the school system cannot be fixed, Gatto asserts, because it has been designed not to educate. Skeptical? So was I.” Read on for the rest of Acheson’s review.

Web browser security test

Link: Browser Security Test

Test your web browser for common security issues. It can run tests for all known problems or only those specific to the browser you’re using at the time.

If you’re using Internet Explorer (IE), please do the world a favor and run these tests on your machine. NOW. Pretty please. biggrin

And stop using IE! There are plenty of other, far superior browsers available: Mozilla/Firefox and Opera to name two.

$200 Bush Funny-money

No, really. A store clerk in Pennsylvania took a $200 “George W. Bush” bill, despite almost nothing about it appearing genuine.
