I'm a little biased, but I think it's cool. Bri has a new website, http://www.geekgalreviews.com - where she's reviewing Apple computer gear and related sundries. It's aimed at grrls, because she's a very techno-savvy grrl, and it seems like grrls are underrepresented in cyberspace. This is unfair and wrong, of course, and perpetuates stereotypes. For example, she often goes into computer stores with me and the sales dude will start talking to me, ignoring her, because they assume since I'm the dude, I'm the guy who understands all the technobabble, when really it's the other way around. She's also going to be reviewing more girly computer accessories - e.g., the L.A.M.B. clutch purse for the iPhone, designed by Gwen Stefani. Things not likely to be reviewed at the IGN message board. Grrls rule! And now they have another place of their own in cyberspace. So please lend her some support - post some comments! Send her a message! Cybergrrls rule!
