She's Geeky, the unconference for geeky women, opens with a circle. We introduce ourselves with our names and a sentence that begins, "I'm geeky because". I've attended at least one day of every She's Geeky Bay Area since the first one in 2007, and I've made it a personal challenge to give a different geek statement for every day of every event. And I haven't yet run out of reasons why I'm geeky.This year I'm geeky because I took the day off from my full-time job supporting technical women to attend She's Geeky as myself.
