We Knew It! Mark Cuban is a Geek Girl….

If you are into tech, there is a name that truly inspires us all to be daring entrepreneurs. Or maybe you just know him more as the owner of the Dallas Maverick’s basketball team or as his stint on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars”. I know him as being a savvy businessman and a guy who is never shy about taking risks. Mark Cuban has made a living by being a risk taker and investing in many companies when it was not so hip – but he definitely saw the vision. From his sale of Broadcast.com to Yahoo! for 5.9….

Stay squeaky clean and full of brain power – with Geek Girl soap of course!

How you can "Pay it Forward" with Geek Girl Camp…

I was just contacted by someone who asked me “well, how can I get involved paying it forward to Geek Girl Camp?” Good question! Well, here are eight good ones for now: 1.) Donating laptops: Geek Girl is collecting workable laptops that are no longer being used and repurpose them by upgrading and cleaning up and donating to non-profit organizations who need them. Most of these organizations help women in transition in getting them jobs and getting the employed. Many cannot afford them. Geek Girl has offered to be the in between to get the laptops, fix them up and….

How to make frosty paws…

Okay, I realize this is a “tech” blog and this appears to be a non-tech post, but since just as many people know me as as the “Frosty Paws Lady” as they know me as the “Geek Girl” and since both these audiences are combined in some circumstances, I am combining these two. I always get asked for the recipe usually right after I am asked what Twitter client I use or what smartphone is the best (iPhone, btw ;-0).  I figured I would just get this recipe out of the way – in a form of a blog post….

OMG – John Tesh just tweeted me…

So, my typical day consists of many hours online either blogging, tweeting, Facebooking, LinkingIn, you name it. At the speed of light. Because I am impulsive that way. I have very little time to get things done and too many things to do. Which is why I really love Twitter. Now, before you say, “Oh God, not another blog on Twitter…”, wait. I am just going to show you how things happen on Twitter that could never happen anywhere else. Short and sweet. The other thing you must know about me is that I am totally random. ADD-like random. Rain….

Thoughts on New Media for Non-Profits

We at Geek Girl are very proud of volunteering our time last Friday for a worthwhile event. Suffolk University, the renown Boston school, also has a Cape Cod extension where they put on some pretty cool programs for the locals. This particular event was about New Media for Non-Profits and it was infiltrated by about 150 non-profits, not-for-profits and charities all around Cape Cod and the South Shore. Us Geek Girls were the “Help Desk/Resource” for the event and we filled an incredibly important role in that we sat down face to face with many attendees who had questions on….

Oprah is on Twitter, Girlfriend!

Well, it was only a matter of time before the Queen of Daytime got her fingers on the keyboard to tweet to the world. And last Friday, Oprah, or as we call her in Twitterville, @Oprah , signed on to Twitter and the Internet has never been the same. Spurred on perhaps by the “Ashton Kutcher/ Larry King/Ding Dong Ditch Ted Turner” spectacle, the “O” was able to connect with all of us who have been here for years and perhaps felt we were free from celebrity and only for geeks. In less than one week, as I type this,….
