Love the things you try, drink a cocktail, wear a tie; show a little grace if you should fall.

You can now pre-order the 2009 Geek Girls Calendar on the Calendar Geeks website HERE!

As some of you know, I am pleased to be Ms. October 2009, the Steampunk Geek. In addition, the 2009 calendar features the following geeks: Chemistry, Librarian, Knitting, Math, Music, Grammar, History, Computer, Theater Tech, Roleplaying Game, and Video Game. None of the models in this calendar are just posing; they're all real geeks who are passionate about the themes of their pictures (quite passionate...these geeks are seriously hawt!). The twelve-month calendar also includes geeky holidays such as Pi Day, sci-fi cons, birthdays of notable geeks like Albert Einstein and Ada Lovelace, and the Unix timestamp 1234567890. Cost is $16.95 plus shipping, and your order should arrive within 4-6 weeks if you place your order before Monday, 30 June 2008. If you want to get in on the first printing run, order now.

Many thanks to jedusor for making this all happen. The 2009 calendar is dedicated to the memory of Ava, our Chemistry Geek, and her portion of the proceeds will go towards a scholarship fund in her name. My calendar photos were taken by tutordennis at Maker Faire (Bay Area) 2008, and the main page features The Whirlygig Emoto, Tom Sepe's steam-assisted motorbike.
