Who's on your "girl geek" reading list?

I just checked the sign-up page on the wiki, and we're booked up to 50 for June 25. Sweet. If you'd like to join us, please add your name to the stand-by list. If you're currently signed up, and have to bail, please remove your name so someone else can take your spot.

Are there any blogs/podcasts out there written by girl geeks who you totally adore? I'm always up for discovering new voices and ideas. Here are three of my favourites:
1. danah boyd
In her words: "My name is danah boyd and I'm a PhD student in the School of Information at Berkeley and a Fellow at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet and Society. I currently live in Venice, CA. Buzzwords in my world include: identity, context, social network sites, youth culture, social media, performance, Friendster, MySpace, Facebook."
2. Jane McGonigal
Writing at Avant Game, Jane writes "I'm a game designer, a games researcher, and a future forecaster. I make games that give a damn. I study how games change lives. I spend a lot of my time figuring out how the games we play today shape our real-world future. And so I'm trying to make sure that a game developer wins a Nobel Prize by the year 2032."
3. Grammar Girl
Mignon Fogarty is the creator and host of Grammar Girl, a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast, which provides short, friendly tips to improve your writing. "Mignon believes that learning is fun, and the vast rules of grammar are wonderful fodder for lifelong study. She strives to be a friendly guide in the writing world. Her arch enemy is the evil Grammar Maven who inspires terror in the untrained and is neither friendly nor helpful."
