BTW, did you see Test The Nation on Sunday? One of the teams was Bloggers, and it had TWO of the finalists for Wired’s Geek Of the Week in the audience – they interviewed them.

I have the video. Maybe I’ll upload it, the same time I upload that pic of you I found? You can see your competition.

There were mingers, BTW.

@djh — ahh so true. us sexy geeky women are so confusing. but that’s all part of the mystery, the allure of the cunning linguist, isn’t it? [and yes i would like to know where you learnt sentence parsing. perhaps while i’m slowly taking my red specs off, shaking loose my long, flowing hair, and gently stroking my… Macbook… oh hey a new tweet from engaget… more news about the new MB air. yeah, that looks super l33t! wow. and with solid state i bet they’ll be super zippy… oh sorry, got distracted there…

@smilry — hey thanks! i’m glad someone gets a kick outta my infant acoustics research. it was super interesting at the time, i just felt continuing in the same path wouldn’t reveal any life-altering findings. but who knows, there might still be a Phd in me yet….

It just dawned on me what this competition is really about: Bipolar Women Of the Week – not sure if they are sexy or geeky. Can you imagine how confusing that is to a guy meeting such a person?

Ext: Geeky dude meets what he thinks is a geeky girl, in the CompSci library:
Guy: “So, do you mind if I borrow your notes on Chomsky Normal Form?” [don't ask how I know that]
Girl: “Yes, here they are. Oh by the way…” (peels of milk-bottle glasses,lets down hair, lets zip down on kagool to her cleavage, and strokes neck) “…how about you come over to practice parsing those sentences?”

THE NEXT DAY”
Ext: School Jock struts up to the same girl, in the midst of her Sandi-nerd/Sandy-hot chick from Grease transformation. She’s in black leather tight trousers, red stiletto mules and a boob-busting leather top.
Guy: Hey, I hear you’re quite a cunning linguist – that geek is tripping over himself. What did you do to him? And hey, wanna try the same thing on me tonight when you do my homework?
Girl: Ah, er, erm, I have chess club tonight and then I’m helping my dad rebuild the Ford’s engine. But if you don’t mind waiting until my violin lesson is over, maybe I can do your calculus then. I-is t-that OK?

And hence, I nominate Lisa…
