» Sorry, Boys, This Is Our Domain
This is awesome! It looks like the skinny, geeky, D&D-playing boys are being edged out by smart girls who design web pages, keep blogs, and run online businesses. They’re not just sparkling up their Myspace pages - many of them are teaching themselves html code, and one girl has had more than half a dozen paying advertisers on her weekly podcast. It’s great to see well-adjusted girls enjoying something that’s long been considered the domain of geeky boys who take the time to figure out complex computer codes. Teaching oneself while expressing oneself seems the ultimate geek chic, and being able to add some sparkle to a Myspace page all by oneself is a fabulous bonus. (NYT)
