GeekGirl gets Poll-tastic with Star Trek!

Hey Gang!

So lately, my true inner nerd has been in full-force as I've been watching Star Trek nonstop. I know that generally, in the past, "GeekGirl," to most of you, has come to mean "technology and gadgets," but no, web people, my inner geek-ness spans the boundaries of technology and into the world of Sci-Fi too. I love really good science fiction, and for Christmas this year I received not only the Star Trek Original Series Season 1 Special Collector's packaging, but I was also the lucky recipient of all 7 Director's Cuts of the Star Trek Motion Pictures. It's GeekGirl heaven!

An awesome shot of the USS Enterprise from the Original Series

Anyhow, I've been catching up on the episodes/films (I'm not done yet!) and I started thinking about how I am a "new" Star Trek fan. By "new" I mean that I had never ever even seen 1 episode or 1 film of the Star Trek franchise until early last year on my birthday (long story). The irony is that when I worked at a creative advertising agency for 6 years, I WORKED on ALL of the Star Trek DVD packaging, advertising, etc! Yet I had never experienced the joy that was Star Trek myself.

I started to wonder how many peeps of my fellow GeekGirl community were Star Trek fans themselves! So guess what...? Yep, that's right, we are going to do a poll! (remember when i disovered that online tool, PollDaddy, that let's you create & customize your own polls? Yup...I'm a nerd and that still excites me!) So below, my fellow Geeks, are some things I want to know about YOU and how much the gadget/technology world really crosses over into the world of Sci-Fi! Take a minute and share your likes/dislikes with me...!

Keep those emails coming to geek.girl@earthlink.net, and I am still working on Parts 2 of the iPhone and CES videos! I had way too much good content from you all and from the CES show that I've shot myself in the foot with editing difficulties! I'm a geek, but not really a great editor, so it's a slow process, but everyday I get better. I've graduated to FinalCut rather than just using iMovie (which is great too!). Just curious, and for the sake of doing another poll, answer me this:

Allright gang, that's all for now!! Keep checking back for more! Lot's of exciting news coming up that you will want to stick around for!

Let's try this again!

Hey gang!

Why do I look so happy? Well I just discovered a new blogging tool
that let's me email a photo with text to my blog, and it will
automatically publish the photo using the email subject and body copy
as the blog title and copy! How friggin' sweet is that?! But here's a
tip: make sure to type all of your copy ABOVE the photo attachment for
it to appear on the blog-I just made that mistake below. Oopsies!

Now all of my web people out there who blog have a new tool to use!
(if you don't already know about it, of course!)

Questions? Thoughts? Email them to me at geek.girl@earthlink.net!

Until next time, cheers!

GeekGirl Episode 8.1: CES is fun!

Finally! Here's Part 1 of my 2-part GeekGirl, behind-the-scenes, CES (Consumer Electronics Show) extravaganza from Las Vegas! I had a coveted all-access pass to the industry-only show floor and brought back LOTS of video and pictures for all of my beloved GeekGirl followers! Get in on the action here (and if you are at a computer with a good internet connection, make sure to watch the video in High Quality by clicking the "HQ" in the bottom right-hand corner!) Remember this is just Part 1-in Part 2, I show you lots more including the MyVu booth, the new Blackberry Storm and all sorts of awesome new technology (including big companies taking exciting GREEN initiatives that mix technology and help our environment at the same time) from the show floor!

Update from CES 2009! A video montage preview and some pix...

Hey Gang!

So it's past midnight and I'm in my hotel room feverishly editing all of the AWESOME stuff I filmed for you today at CES. I have come to the realization that since i have to be at McCarran Airport tomorrow morning at 10 am, and the cab lines will be insane, I won't finish the podcast tonight. (Plus, my laptop has run out of disc space and I can't render files! Always a bummer). But I couldn't leave y'all hanging! So here's a preview of the intro with some cool footage in a montage of the stuff you are going to see when I get back to LA and finish this this weekend! Oh, and here are some pictures too!!

The Panasonic Presentation...

The Casio display...

The Panasonic 3D Theatre experience...

Me wearing some super-geeky 3-D TV glasses...

Intel inside TV's-you can create your own widget ticker and view widgets on your TV!

More widget-TV action...

CNET was broadcasting live from the convention...it was really well done..

This was my favorite thing! These are the plaques above all of the toilets. They define "#1" and "#2" bathroom behaviors...hilarious!

Ok, that's it for my quickie preview...off to pack and jet back to LA...more over the weekend! I've got lots of stuff to share!


Cheers,

GeekGirl
