Vids of me speaking in Germany and Cambridge, plus more!
Here’s the vid of me giving a talk called “Revenge of the Female Nerds” at the CCC in Berlin. The sound quality and production are excellent! Plus, my suit looks great. Maybe that’s why the very first question I was asked in Q/A was why I dress like a man.
And here’s a video from the first night of the book tour for my recent anthology, She’s Such a Geek, which I co-edited with Charlie Anders. This was in Cambridge, MA, and we had a room utterly packed with amazing geeky women (and men!). You can hear readings from Charlie and myself, as well as two other contributors to the anthology: Diana Husmann and Nina Dudnik.
Also, Charlie and I were on the Leonard Lopate show on NPR talking about She’s Such a Geek. Scroll down this page to get the podcast version.

hi there,
just browsing through before i go to class and i came across a talk you had on “revenge of the female nerds”…on 23rd chaos communication congress site.
i would be interested in you getting in touch as i find myself increasingly in that situation (iam doing mechanical engineering, i am 28, single) and its an ongoing battle to validate my presence and intelligence.if iam not hit on, iam called a dyke or just sneered at whilst they roll their eyes – and these are the teachers!
i apologise for posting here but i could not find a contact me link.

You can view the talk through the link above. I recommend you check out the website for my book “She’s Such a Geek,” at http://www.shessuchageek.com. There are a lot of women networking there who are dealing with the difficulties/triumphs of being female in male-dominated geeky fields.

@ Aliza: you’re right. There were plenty of genderqueers there. Thanks for pointing that out!
