Contest! Win a Deluxe Edition of the 50th Anniversary Printing of Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time! Today Only!

by Susana Polo | 12:55 pm, January 27th

The Time Quartet’s Meg Murray is a brave, prideful, and stubborn female protagonist that I find more and more relatable as I grow older. The series contains some really deep musing on science, religion, family, and the usefulness of love, and then wraps up with time travel and flying unicorns. So, it’s really a perfect storm of tiny nerd girl interests, or at least it was for this formerly tiny nerd girl.

But nerd girls have been falling in love with a A Wrinkle in Time longer than I’ve even been alive, significantly longer, and this week marks the 50th anniversary of the release of A Wrinkle in Time. Macmillan Publishers have given us a copy of the 50th anniversary edition of the book, packed with never before published material to give to one lucky person. Find out how to enter after the jump, and act fast!

by Jamie Frevele | 4:02 pm, July 18th

I’ll bet you had no idea that July 29th was SysAdmin Day. But don’t you think they deserve some props for running your favorite web sites, making sure they stay up 24/7, allowing for pretty pictures, delivered emails, snappy content, but always behind the curtain like a mysterious … man or woman behind the curtain? Along with our bros at Geekosystem, we are teaming up with ThinkGeek to provide some prizes and recognition for a very righteous SysKing and SysQueen. But this is where you come in, dear reader: It’s up to you to provide the nominees for ThinkGeek’s 2011 SysAdmin Pageant. And here is even more good news: You don’t even have to nominate anyone in order to win a $500 shopping spree for yourself!
