Looking For The Geekiest Geek Guy/Hippest Hip Urban Chick

from the contest-time dept

So, TechTV contacted us and then chose to slight us with their Biggest Geek In Silicon Valley contest where the winner gets free services from GeekBoyServices.com. They chose to ignore our companion GeekGirlServices site. How could we sit idly by? Well, we almost did, but severe boredom prompted our response. Yes, it's contest time. We're looking for the hippest hip urban chick as well as the geekiest geek guy in Silicon Valley and we'll send them together on a trip to Fry's or something. Or maybe it's just a joke (though, I'll note it's well past April first) - and I'm actually really intrigued to see what sort of responses we get. Click on the contest link to read all the details and background story.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    the biggest geek

    I think the winner of this contest should definitely be the person who sat around and wrote it up b/c they had nothing better to do. At least the ladies over at TechTV are getting paid to waste their time...

      Re: the biggest geek

      I agree. Techtv does nothing but talk about CDRWs and other random novice junk. Not everything is crap; Davorak is with it and some of the science stuff is cool. But I mean, look at their Ultimate Gaming Machine; they can't even build one without breaking it half a dozen times; plus their components weren't thought through. I wanna have some hard core computer stuff like beowulfing and AI programming instead of monotonous beginners with their idiot questions.
