and it's actually from No Starch Press, distributed by O'Reilly. I weep, I weep. No Starch usually has world-class books for technologists.

It's supposed to NOT be patronizing: http://oreilly.com/catalog/9781593271879/ but that press release reads like a friggin cosmo ad.
and here I honestly got excited seeing a title from O'Reilly that I thought might actually have something to do with women as technologists.
"women use technology to get things done as they struggle to work, shop, email, raise children, and host perfect dinner parties" : thud :
When I think of the term Geek Goddess and the publisher O'Reilly, I find this to be a rather sexist and juvenile Woman's Day/Cosmo approach.
a little disturbed at a book's description. "How to be a Geek Goddess" from O'Reilly. Chapter four: Shopping!

@alexknowshtml that's what @sheldoncooper is going to tell us now that we've shamed him. Ever notice his US flag sticker is upside down?
@glazou ah, thank you for the clarification. Semantics mean so much. (oh, I'm such a clever punster)
@alexknowshtml And it isn't just Windows, it's Vista. How many theoretical physicists are using Windows? @sheldoncooper shame shame.
@alexknowshtml You noticed that too? Oh, we are sorry geeks, we are. ;)
@sheldoncooper The other night we got to see that Penny uses IE7. Predictable. But YOU? I expected you to be an Opera fanbois for sure.
@glazou Are you suggesting I'm guilty of the sin of gluttony?
wondering why we're told as teens our acne will go away when here I am in my 40s with a big ol' pimple on my face. I call foul!
@meriwilliams Rooibos and Honeybush sounds mnom! Serve with milk? Maybe a touch of bee's honey too.
@glazou IOW: A jug of wine, a basket of fries and thou beside me?
@youngApprentice Wow that sounds good. @meriwilliams served me Rooibos tea a few years ago, now it's getting popular in the US. TeaHeadMols
