Okay, so I’m opening up nominations one day earlier than usual, but like 2005 and 2006 I’ll be posting the Top Ten Sexy Geeks of 2007 on December 20. That’s right — the always-surprising, sexy geek blush inducing, Laughing Squid server-smokin’ list is back for its third year in a row. I was so excited when I met the Ninja at SXSW 2007, and he thanked me for making him a sexy geek (2006)! It was by popular demand (and concern, of course, for my life).

Seen a hottie execute some pulse-quickening tech-fu? Have you been admiring a vlogger you feel is unsung for their mad vlog skillz and nerdy sex appeal? Heard of a sexpot who writes killer apps, built their site from the ground up, or is lurking like an evil mastermind behind a smart 2.0 company or tech blog? I do personally handpick the list, but I base it on your nominations every year. Now’s the time to let me know: violet at tinynibbles dot com

Not nerdalicious enuf:

* Celebrities, especially Hollywood ones.
* Chicks who pose in bikinis with video game themed accessories.
* Models and actors who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.
* Anyone I have had sex with. Sorry!
* Babes, studs or porn peeps with “geek” and “nerd” plastered all over their paysites, with nothing to back it up.
* People who are cute, but no one seems to know why they have geek cred.

Also disqualified: anyone who’s already been on this list in a previous year.

Lube up your browser and nominate anyone who is:

* Smart, nerdy and HOT.
* Has done something really amazing this year in tech, and you just totally realized is also irresistibly sexy.
* Someone known for being hot, but has hardcore geek cred that no one seems to notice.
* The total Unsung Hottie in your dev group.
* Tech bloggers or vloggers you just want to point at and go, OMG hw4t!
* You’ll notice I’ve had a cyberlawyer on the list every year; think outside the blog- and vlogosphere to uncover the fierce and delicious people who support, fuel and participate in Internet culture.

And, as always — single or not, it’s all in fun.
