Star Trek TNG (& later) Ambient Ship Noise for 24 hours

Nothing sounds quite like your Galaxy class star ship home away from home, like the quiet hum of the Enterprise NCC 1701-D engines.  Well, maybe a few LCARS beeps and Majel Barrett-Roddenberry (the voice of the ship’s computer/Deanna Troi’s Mother/Gene Roddenberry’s wife) talking to you.  I suppose you could also craft a black velvet rotating [...]

Growing up, I was very lucky that each and every winter until I was 18, I would travel down to the Bahamas for 2 weeks to my parent’s timeshare.  Every year, most of our time was spent at the local shops where the tourists did not go and most of our meals were cooked by [...]

In the event I might actually get to meet Heather Knight someday, I’m going to save a bit of face from some of the absolute gushing I would love to do right now. I discovered Heather Knight last night while doing my late night news browsing on my iPad. Her interview with CNN’s next is [...]

Thumbnail image for Girlhack in the wild: “Magical Hair Ties”

I saw this over at 2X on Reddit.com and asked TrueAstynome if I could post it here. I love this picture for a few reasons: 1) Total crossover of girly and geeky (hair ties or as I call them, pony tail holders) and Magic cards 2) The Microphone (clearly for some rock out and/or dance [...]

While watching The Big Bang Theory (FINALLY just getting into the show myself) I saw this commercial for the first time: I can’t decide how I feel about this commercial and if it’s really more for boys or girls. On one hand, it’s nice to see a commercial with a girl and a girl with [...]

Just sharing a bit of when men sometimes get objectified, mostly because I think both are pretty funny. Men-Ups The first one comes from Rion Sabean Photography (although I found them originally on Flickr).  Rion did a calender of his take on what men would be like if they were pinup girls.  My personal favorites [...]

I’m still working on putting together a girlhack holiday gift guide of quirky girly and geeky things, but I wanted to share about a foundation that I actually made a donation to today.  It is the Somaly Mam Foundation, which was founded by a survivor of human trafficking.  Some pretty hefty names sit on their [...]
