Geek Girls Guide

Hey, you found us! Welcome to the Geek Girls Guide: a safe space for you to ask all the questions you’re afraid to ask in a crowd. If you found us because you were listening to the Lori & Julia Show today – great! I wanted to give you an idea of some of the things we’re planning to feature on the blog in the very near future. So stay tuned, here’s what’s coming up:

Gini Dietrich, CEO of Arment Dietrich Public Relations in Chicago, will be guest blogging about tips for writing your bio — online and off.
Sarah Evans, also known as @prsarahevans of Twitter/#journchat fame, will be sharing her story: how a non-geek girl built a brand through tech/social media know-how.
Nate Burgos of Design Feast will talk about how 37 Signals‘ Backpack application made his life simpler.
In an upcoming podcast, Meghan and I interview our friends Nancylee Myatt, Maeve Quinlan, Maile Flanagan and Paige Bernhardt — a group of female producers, actors and writers in Hollywood — about their experience creating entertainment-based content for the web. (Nancylee is an award winning producer/writer/director who wrote the final episode of Night Court and brought us the cult favorite, South of Nowhere. You might recognize Maeve from her years on The Bold and the Beautiful. She’s currently starring in Sony Pictures’ Not Easily Broken and the CW’s new 90210. And Maile is the emmy winning talent behind Jakers, the Adventures of Piggley Winks and Naruto.)

Hey Geeky Readers!

We wanted to let you know that the Geek Girls, Nancy Lyons and Meghan Wilker, will be on FM 107.1’s Lori & Julia show at 3:30pm (Central) this Friday, March 27. If you’re not in Minneapolis, you can listen online at their web site (http://www.fm1071.com/listen.shtml). And if you miss it at 3:30, because it’s part of the first hour of the show, it’s probably part of the “LoJ Replay” from 6pm-7pm (Central) on FM 107.1.

We have no idea what they’ll be talking about or what they want from us. But we think Lori & Julia need a geeky resource to reach out to now and again, and that resource needs to really get their audience. We think we’re perfect. They have their theatre guy that they talk to regularly about local shows and events. They have their regular fashionistas visiting the show. They talk to beauty experts and shopping experts. But so far, they don’t have any real geeks to talk to them about the occasional gadget or social networking question. The audience Lori & Julia talks to every day is the audience we want to reach. We don’t want to talk to other geeks about geekery. Our mission is to make it accessible and appealing to those people who are a little resistant or have somehow convinced themselves that they just don’t ‘get’ it.

So if you like us on Lori & Julia let them know. And let us know. If we touch on anything you want to hear more about, or you want to weigh in on, drop us a note. Until then, see you on the radio!
