It’s hard to be a Geek Mom - because when other Moms sit down around the edge of the playground or the occasional Moms-night-out Table, they want to talk about normal June Cleaveresque, Suburban Mom things. They’re not so much into the latest technology news, social media events, or what MMORPG you’re presently obsessed by. They don’t care that you just scored a deal on the hottest bleeding-edge must-have gadget. The issues of when to address the need to customize your firewall so that your child can’t accidentally access inappropriate content and the pros & cons of running your own DNS server to accommodate for that is far from their minds. Merely stating that your child had a domain name before she had a birth certificate comes across as loony behavior that can cause them to pick up and move to the other side of the park bench.

The only place I can find aging geek Moms with any regularity is here on the Internet. (edit to add:

So be it. I’ll write it… and if you’ve found me and read this far? Maybe you’ll stick around and play.

I won’t promise that it will all be ‘geekish’ posts, or ‘oldish’ posts. After all, I face the same issues anyone else trying to raise a little girl in America in the first part of the 21st Century does… but I do promise that it will be all through the eyes of this GeekMommy.

And so, let’s get on with this, shall we?
