In order to celebrate the fabulous collection of essays about female nerdom in She's Such a Geek, we are running a photo contest over at Inkling. In essence, you have to take a nerdy photo of yourself and send it to Anne. Photos that reference the book in any way will receive bonus pointeroos. The prize is a simply beautiful poster of Lady Lovelace Ada Byron, seriously old school glam math nerd.
The first three submissions are already up at the Inkling page. One from Kristin Abkemeier (above), who wrote an essay in the book and also writes for Inkling. And of course one from me and Anne (we made good use of Anne's retro glasses collection... the ones that Anne wore had a really strong prescription and I kept on fearing that she'd go blind during the photo shoot. Annnnnyway).
I just want to put a plug here that if the photo contest and book aren't enough geekery for you, then there's also a blog at www.shessuchageek.com.

*Damn* - Now I wish I was a girly so I could enter.
I named my first computer network after Lady Lovelace.
