There's nothing like a really positive role model to encourage young people, and surprisingly that can include Barbie! She might be permanently made up, in heels and smiling but she's also an accomplished young woman with a great career or 10.

This year's "I can be..." includes a potential Barbie career of "Computer Engineer" (hey I'm impressed they didn't call her a programmer!) so make sure you leave your vote and encourage young girls to remember that they can be as nerdy as they like!

Wear your fandom on your feet!

Now I know most geeks aren't particularly sporty, but Adidas are the latest big name to realise that geek has gone mainstream and released an entire range of Star Wars related sports wear.

Whether you support the Dark Side of the force or you just want to go jogging with the Jedi you should definitely check out the entire range. 

The full range includes tshirts, hoodies and of course sneakers themed for the Dark Side, the Rebels, Stormtroopers, Droids and the Millenium Falcon.

The entire set can be seen in the look book available on Sneaker Freak. 

In the wake of Left4Dead 2 being refused classification in Australia a lot of facebook groups and forum threads have sprung up to wail and wring their hands but some groups have decided that what they really need is public protest - with gore.

Facebook group "Gamers for a proper rating system in Aus" (one of dozens of similarly titled and focused groups) is planning an EPIC ZOMBIE LURCH to get gamers out of the house and raise their decomposing fists to the skyand tell the Attorney General that we want an 18+ rating for games.

The cynic in me wonders if the organisers are also wanting for some brains as traipsing around the city covered in muck may not be the best way to tell the AG that we're grown-ups and can choose what games we want to play.

In the words of one of the event organisers: we'll be meeting up at the Hyde Park war memorial at around 11, and making our way towards Town Hall at 11:30.
After screwing around for as long as we think is necessary, we'll be heading down George street, and up Ultimo Rd to Darling Harbour, where screwing around will re-commence.
From there, it's down Pyrmont Bridge, and down Market St back to the Hyde Park fountain.
