Time for Sexy Geek nominations!

17 pieces of BRILLIANCE put forth by a DARING and DELIGHTFUL reader

I know — I’m opening up nominations two days later than usual (disclaimer: I’m in Paris right now to speak about the future of sex on a global stage; it’s all okay). But like 2005, ‘06, ‘07 (’08), and ’09, I’ll be posting the Top Ten Sexy Geeks of 2010 on December 20, 2010. So now — the always-surprising, sexy geek blush inducing, Laughing Squid server-smokin’ list is back for its *sixth* year in a row. Six years of sexy geeks = life is good, indeed.

Seen a hottie execute some heart-pounding tech-fu? Have you been admiring a builder, scaler, or web/phone app writin’ babe you feel is unsung for their mad code skillz and nerdy sex appeal? Heard of a sexpot who speaks all the romance languages (you know the ones), built their site from the ground up, or is lurking like an evil mastermind behind a badass startup or tech blog? I do personally handpick the list, but I base it on *your* nominations every year. Now’s the time to let me know: violet at tinynibbles dot com — also, you can Tweet your nominations @ me, or leave suggestions in the comments (I approve anons, yo). I do all the research, but any links you send along help.

Criteria:

Not nerdalicious enuf:

* Celebrities, especially Hollywood ones and pointless vlogstars or empty Twitterati.
* Chicks who pose in bikinis with video game themed accessories (sorry Girls of Nerdcore — though I do love my geek-flavored cheesecake).
* Models and actors who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.
* Anyone I have had sex with. Sorry! (Okay, I was only sorry once. But it was *after* I made the list, okay?!)
* Babes, studs or porn peeps with “geek” and “nerd” plastered all over their paysites, with nothing to back it up (sorry hot Justine Jolie).
* People who are cute, but no one seems to know why they have geek cred.

Also disqualified: anyone who’s already been on this list in a previous year.

Lube up your browser and nominate anyone who is:

* Smart, nerdy and HOT.
* Has done something really amazing this year in tech, and you just totally realized is also irresistibly sexy.
* Someone known for being hot, but has hardcore geek cred that no one seems to notice.
* The total Unsung Hottie in your dev group.
* Tech bloggers or vloggers you just want to point at and go, OMG hw4t!
* You’ll notice I’ve had a cyberlawyer or a hardware hacker on the list every year; think outside the blog- and vlogosphere to uncover the fierce and delicious people who support, fuel and participate in Internet culture.
* I keep the list gender balanced, but all genders and LGBT noms are *especially* encouraged. I also strive for racial diversity, partly because I’m sick of going to all these tech parties that are full of rich white people.

And, as always — single or not, it’s all in fun. One year I had a hot couple on the list!

    I would like to nominate a couple! Thad and Xiomara Glindmeyer. Thad is a teacher at my college, he teaches network security and forensics (we know he is hacker, he just won’t admit it to us ) Thad is also a musician (percussionist). His super hot wife is a graphic designer who has a fashion blog for those with their own sense of style. Xio, as she is called , is an artist and one of the most interesting women my fellow classmates and I know. Here is a link to Xio’s blog and Thad’s website. My feeble words can’t even begin to describe the hotness of this couple. My classmates and I can send pics;-)

    I nominate Ijustine because she is such a freaky tech-geek and makes youtube more fun and also is really really really pretty and who makes a lot great vids and also informs us a lot about all kinds of technical news

    And also Danielle who is a sex columnist and also studies psychology and e-tech http://www.desantiago.de & http://desantiagospussyshack.blogspot.com and who is cute as fuck at least I think he is plus he is our little celeb here in Aachen/ermany

    My prof, Prof. Jim O’Brien, at Cal would totally fit. He’s writes code for video games and movies. On his website http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~job it talks about the tech that he has worked on for game companies like EA and LucasArts. I think he’s sexy for an older man, but alas he’s straight and married, and I know he would take getting a sexy geek award from Violet Blue for a compliment.

    I second Felicia Day. She’s a Geek’s geek. She’s as geeky as it gets, not afraid to make fun of herself, and adorable, to boot.

    Also… and I don’t know that he counts as a celeb, since he’s not all *that* well known, the musical artist Voltaire. Have you heard his songs based on Star Trek? He’s a riot, and dead sexy with those piercings poking off the top of his ears. Can you say stainless steel elf? Hawt!

    Finally, Jonathan Coulton is still a cult favorite rather than a true celeb, methinks. His geek cred is undeniable. A code monkey who went rogue and started to use the web to publish songs about, among other things, geekitude? And he’s a cutie, too.

    As it happens, I made a post singing praises for my wife Peggy’s long-standing geekery while I was bobbing in St. George’s Harbour, Bermuda, waiting on weather:

    Walking the Walk (Even if she won’t talk the talk.)
    http://www.comstockfilms.com/blog/tony/2009/11/11/walking-the-walk-even-if-she-wont-talk-the-talk/

    This year she taught herself Ruby so she could contribute to the “Archive of Our Own” ( AO3)project under the aegises of The Organization for Transformative Works, and per her usual, she rapidly rose from a complete novice to a project leader in about much time as it’s going to take me to write this commnet.

    The AOC project has been called one of the most exciting women-run open source coding projects currently underway on the web, and is devoted to creating a “safe-harbor” for fan communities and fan-fic, both from bogus claims copyright infringement and from capricious TOS enforcement at places like Live Journal. (I’m sure you remember the purges from a couple of years back. Well that provided the impetice for a diverse group of academics, lawyers and coders to create the OTW and the AO3 project.)

    If that wasn’t enough, last e-mail check, Peggy told me she just scored a deal on an open-box linux machine running something called Mint (I think), so while me and the girls are snorkeling, Peggy will be woodshedding on linux.

    Oh, she helped me design, source and build the solar/wind hybrid power generation system that provided the electricity on our boat — enough to run all the systems including a freezer, fridge, and AC for our computer. (I’m editing our next film while waiting for her and the girls.)

    She’ll never brag about herself, it’s her style, but where hardcore geekery meets sexy, I can’t think of anyone with as diverse and accomplished a range of credentials!
