I’m struggling with an issue with the Captcha in Yii Framework. In case you didn’t know, the captcha is that slightly distorted codeword that you type into a computer program to tell it you’re a human being. Bots supposedly can’t read them…. . . . → Read More: Captcha a la XKCD Penguins are not big fans of Flash, that’s for sure. But they are a little out of touch and sometimes need a reality check. This reminds me of the old days when you had to do a little dance to get Linux to show the floppy disk icon on the GUI desktop. . . . → Read More: XKCD Nails Linux

My daughter claimed that the original “Be Helpful” toon unfairly targeted men as the perpetrators of unconscious assumptions about who would have geek mojo worth paying attention to and and who would obviously not, based on gender. Nope, not really. The perp in the first toon happened to be a guy, but just as often it’s a woman. You’d think that female professionals might be more sensitive to other professional women, but nope. See how the girl geek gets treated like an inconsequential piece of fluff. Anyway, recasting the perp as a female allowed me to have a little fun with the ending. Maybe if the geek girl dressed a bit more pompously she would get some respect. We’ll have to do that test some time. 12 comments - (Comments are closed) Geek Humor, Geek Stuff cartoon strip, embed, female, geek girl, geek mojo, gender, girl geek, ignore, lack of respect, networking, professional, sexism, sexist, toonlet, weird pickup technique One comment - (Comments are closed) Fun Web and Blog Goodies, Geek Humor boob-gazing, boobs, geek mojo, girl geek, helpful, noobs, social, toonlet 7 is better than Vista?
