1337

S.:

My comp is fucked. I need to re-image and back up everything this weekend, including my wave-my-MacBook-around-and-it-sounds-like-a-light-saber widget and my activate-car-alarm-with-remote-control widget. A while ago, there was some IT Guy who wanted to know what all these weird icons were in my Dock. I explained to him and he says, “Wow, you really are a geek.” I don’t know whether to take that as the ultimate compliment or the ultimate insult.

Jason:

You should take it as a compliment. IT Guys appreciate young ladies conversant in the computer arts. Hold it, aren’t you the one with an “I PWN boys” T-shirt?

S.:

Yep, I have that. I like it because it’s all 1337 (har har) and appreciate that not everyone will “get” it, and all the while, it’s bad-ass feminist.

Jason:

Wearing that in public will get you a bunch of pizza-faced bad-asses rolling a quick d20 to determine whether they have enough hit points without armor to approach you and engage in verbal P2P.
