Through the Wormhole....

This is info for our loyal readership here who check in with us daily. You may have noticed a slight decline in content the last week or so, this is because we're working our tails off especially for you to make your Lesbian Gamers and Lesbian Geek experience a better one. We can't say much more than that at this time, but we'd love it if you stuck by us during this period and didn't lose heart if there's less news / reviews than usual. We will still be putting content up, just not as regularly. Trust us... this is to make your experience here a better one... More info soon.

The Apple iSlate - Me wants it

A lot of lesbians love their Apple products (okay at least 80% of the ones I hang with anyway), so for that reason this is big news. That rumored "iSlate" looks like it's edging ever closer to reality. Invitations have gone out to the press inviting them to come see Apple's "latest creation". Given the Wall Street Journal let the cat out of the bag on this one a few weeks ago, there's really no big shocker (the shock would be if it wasn't the iSlate). Who else is looking interestingly at this thing, it could mean a whole new world of touch screen gaming, not to mention ebooks, comics, anime etc. Thanks to LesbianGamers for the cross post.

OLED transparent laptop gets our brains thinking

Disappointed it's 2010 and you're not docking your anti-grav car at the fusion power cell fueling point in your garage? Yeah me too, a bit disappointing, ah well, check this baby out and at least know cool transparent HUD goodness may be just on the horizon. What we have here is a transparent OLED laptop screen, a screen you can see right through. Now imagine this coupled with multi-touch technology on various glass surfaces in your home or car windscreen, sweet right? Like the fusion anti-grav car, it'll be awhile, but this OLED laptop is cool.

Being Erica the Cassidy lesbian connection

I've been watching a little Being Erica for work recently and was surprised when the show threw up a lesbian storyline (Episode 1.9 Everything She Wants). Being Erica also features a lesbian couple within its framework (though rarely appearing). This is a quirky show you might enjoy, even though the "lesbian" storyline was a little cliche in action. As for geek factor, it's about a time traveling 30 something, what more can a geek want. There's also an episode called "Erica The Vampire Slayer". Check it out online (Canada) or on DVD.

Happy Holidays from Lesbian Geek

Hey fellow geeksters! Just a quick note as we're taking a week or so off to recharge, regeek and of course catch up with what geek goods we've missed over the last few months due to being too busy with work. Anyways, just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays and let you all know we'll be back in 2010 with more regular lesbian geek news. Have a good one!

The Lesbian Geek Avatar Review a movie by geek favorite James Cameron

Well we're still in our Pandora induced daze, but as promised we've got our full Avatar Review for you right here. We'll try and differentiate this review from the plethora of others online because we'll make a point of examining the cool female characters within the overall story. Yes, this will of course include - lesbian favorite - Michelle Rodriguez and her part. So let's get to it shall we?

Astrid Farnsworth and Walter Bishop a love story

If you've been watching the second season of Fringe, you may well be enjoying - out actress - Jasika Nicole's character of Astrid Farnsworth and her interactions with Walter Bishop. This season the relationship between the two has really come into its own and it is truly adorable. There's nothing sexual in it, but there is definitely love between the pair and what a wonderful pairing they are. Both of their performances have been fantastic thus far and will no doubt continue to be so. Now if they'd just write in a little crush between Astrid and Olivia, now that would be a love story of epic proportion. Wouldn't that throw the "Olivia and Peter will get together" crowd into a tizzy.

Your Avatar review is coming!

We wouldn't be lesbian geeks unless we went and experienced James Cameron's latest offering. Yes the man who has brought us - let's face it - some pretty cool female characters is finally back after a 12 year break with Avatar. We'll have a full review up tomorrow with our thoughts and feelings on the movie, which won't at all be biased by thinking James Cameron is fantastic.. really... oh okay, maybe a little.

Ming Na's Camille Wray the super bitch lesbian stereotype?

So I've been catching up with - the rather dire - Stargate: Universe and I have to say I think Ming Na's lesbian character Camille Wray is about as likable as Charles Manson, for the most part. She seems to swing from frightened, to bossy, to overbearing, to even outright hostile and mostly with little reason. The best - and more serene - part of her character has so far has been her visit home and the touching scene between her and her partner Sharon. Of course this will all go out the window when SG:U returns in the new year and Camille Wray body swaps and her character sleeps with a dude.... ewwwwy.

Marvel Comics do comics by women

With the air still swirling with "Marvel are sexist" (and indeed the geek realm of comic books overall), Marvel Comics brings us Girl Comics. The special three-issue anthology will be made by women, that is to say completely by women. All inking, artwork, lettering, the whole thing will be by female comic creators. Amongst the mix are Kathryn Immonen, Marjorie Liu, Devin Grayson, Ann Nocenti, Trina Robbins, G. Willow Wilson, Stephanie Buscema, Amanda Conner, Jill Thompson, Louise Simonson, Valerie D’Orazio, Colleen Coover, Molly Crabapple, Nikki Cook, Ming Doyle, Abby Denson, and Carla Speed McNeil. The book will be edited by Jeanine Schaefer. The first issue is due out in March. More at The Beat.
