5 Minutes for Books — How to Be a Geek Goddess

Pick me! My husband is a HUGE self-proclaimed geek. I better get working if I’m going to become his Geek Goddess!!!

With a computer programmer for a husband it’s all too easy to just let him set things up and problem solve. (Now I know why my mom can’t set the vcr timer!!) But blogging has me moving more and more into the geek world by choice. My hubby even brought a couple of html books home for me to read to help with the tech side of blogging. Funny what we can do when we have an interest in it. Maybe some day I’ll learn how to erase the messages off my answering machine… or not. = )

I bet this book would be very helpful for me, I wish to be a geek godess

I’m a biology nerd, but I’m far from the Linux geek I want to be…

I have to agree that I have also learned a lot of techie information as I have setup my family blog and my facebook site…but there is more yet to learn. I always ask my husband what html code i need to do certain things..because my compose feature always needs some html code added for the formatting to work.

This sounds like a great read!

I’ve learned a lot but there’s so much more I want to know. Maybe this will help.

I don’t know about a ‘geek ‘ goddess. Any kind of goddess would do for now.
Cheers

This would be a perfect gift for my mom! She’s so fearful she’ll click on something and her whole computer will explode

I know enough to get by, but not nearly enough to create (or fix) anything. I could definitely use this book.

hey I wanna be a geek goddess too- better than Miss America anyday in my book

Ooh yeah, I would love to be a geek goddess. After reading, I could share with my MIL who only knows how to check her email!

So I finally learn how to use the CD player & everyone switched to MP3s. At last, I can program the VCR, but everyone switched to DVDs. I can access the internet, but everyone left me for blogs, twisters, twitters, twaddles, whatever. And what the heck does 404 error mean, anyway. Yeah, I need the book.

well, if you like this writeup, you’ll probably love my interview with the author, which you can find here:

What would my husband do if I were a geek goddess? Thanks for the chance!

I would love this. Not sure it would make me a geek godess tho. I just hope I’m not too old to learn. LOL

My kids are geeks. I am NOT! I need to desperately catch up to them!! They know I barely know how to check my email!! Scary!

I am technology challenged so I think this would be a great book for me.

When I read the title I had to laugh. This would be a great book to have and read. Hubby actually was calling me a geek the other day because I am always “trying” to do different things on the computer. I laughed and said I’m proud to be called a geek, that is my goal in life to be a really good one. lol.. So this book would be perfect !! Thanks

I would love to have this, and share it with my mom, so my wonderful hubby doesn’t always have to help us figure out our computer issues!

Oh please oh please pick me. I am definitely the ‘techie’ of our house, but that just means that I’m in charge of phoning my dad for help whenever something goes wrong, computer-wise. I’d love to be able to stand on my own two (very adult) feet.
