August 29, 2011 3:23 am I'll be blocking out Saturday so I can watch. The wibbly wobbly-ness of timezones and the international dateline has its perks on occasion. 300 episodes is a phenomenal achievement. Congratulations to everyone that's taken iFanboy to this incredible milestone.

August 24, 2011 7:42 pm Aaron territory for me just means I've been lazy. It's not a good look. More scruffy hobo than creative genius.

July 26, 2011 7:40 pm I think any panel that opens up discussion of this topic is great. Any group can get very protective of itself. With geek culture I think a lot of effort is spent trying to find ways of excluding other people to protect 'your' slice of geek life.

I've read and heard about the pressure put on female geeks. You hear stories of dismissive, rude, and sometimes hostile fanboys and it's really sad. Some of it can be put down to social awkwardness but a lot of the time it's just someone being an asshole to someone else because they're different. There's a 'girls in the clubhouse' mentality that pervades some areas of geek culture and panels (and panelists) like this are the driving force behind breaking that mentality.

This is one of the many panels that I'd have loved to be at. Hopefully it sticks around for many Cons to come.
