With “Geek” in my “Internet name”, understandably, people automatically think tech. Now, do not get me wrong I do love tech and if you’ve been following me you will definitely know I am truly a gadget girl (woman). AND I have to admit I’ve been writing more about those in film and photography lately (I’m “geeked” about getting the Canon T2i or Canon 7D). AND it’s obviously something I’m pondering  because I have been trying to use Tiff ‘TheFemGeek’ Tate more frequently these days.  Here are the definitions that Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary gives for the word Geek:

1 : a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake
2 : a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked
3 : an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity <computer geek>

(Wow, those first two were definitely a whoa)

So should I stick with the name TheFemGeek.com even though my website is not as tech intense as say someone like Chris Pirillo or Molly Wood (I want to acknowledge that the two of these individuals have the background and knowledge to write about what it is they write about. I will note that my schooling background is engineering the first time and I went back for filmmaking.) Well anyway, I can think of two reasons why I should keep it:

1. I’ve already paid for the domain name

and

2. I’ve used this name for so long, it would be just frustrating trying to change (believe me I’ve tried…hence: now using at times Tiff ‘TheFemGeek” Tate)

Now I am going to throw in a 3rd reason. I AM A GEEK! I love my gadgets.I love my digital cameras, digital camcorders, my iPhone, my Blackberry Curve, my Kindle, my iMac, my Macbook, my netbook, my watches, need I go on.  And I blog about these wonderful things from time to time. Now I’m wondering why it is I ever questioned it.

So there you have it…I am TheFemGeek and this is TheFemGeek.com. Where you will find info on those in the arts and whatever new gadgets that may have caught my eye

So here it is and I’m pretty happy about how it came out. I should have some videos up soon but in the meantime I will promote projects from friends or people I have come across that have become my favs or just really have impressed me. Do come back and check the new TheFemGeek.com out. You might just enjoy it

So look for a new template coming soon and I may be even starting fresh and removing old videos I have on here. Life changes and mine has taken many turns; some positive, some negative. But now it’s time for me to reflect that here and hopefully I can share with you the best that’s yet to come
