by Jamie Frevele | 11:49 am, June 26th, 2012

Following months, perhaps years, of complaints about how the “highest-ups” at Facebook are all men, Sheryl Sandberg, the company’s COO since 2008, has finally become the first woman appointed to the board of directors.

by Jamie Frevele | 11:01 am, February 15th, 2012

Well, well, well, look at this! Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has decided to take a little peek at the internet’s fastest growing social network by joining it himself! Zuckerberg has created a profile on Pinterest, the site that has been called such things as “lady-centric” and “catnip for women” because 70 percent of its users are female.

by Jill Pantozzi | 2:02 pm, February 6th, 2012

Things We Saw Today: An Amazing Welsh Star Trek Lesbian Wedding

by Jamie Frevele | 5:30 pm, September 24th, 2011

This might be the most specific instance of glorious and heartwarming geekery we’ve ever posted.

Fourteen years later, they held their wedding at Liberty Stadium in Swansea, Wales and required every guest to show up in a Star Trek costume. We wish them nothing but the very best and that they live long and prosper together for the rest of their years. (via Blastr)
