Hi, this is Sara's friend Erika. Sara asked me to judge her “Sexiest Bachelor Developer” contest because “I am an expert on everything sexy.” I'll take any opportunity to look at cute boys, so here it goes. I hope you like my choices, I wrestled with them for a long time. Not literally. :(
Third Place
Name: Kenny Lai
Location: Brooklyn, NY
Languages: C#,ASP.NET, SQL
Occupation: Developer, GlobalGrind.com
Kenny works for the cool Russell Simmons project called Global Grind. He's from NYC (which gives him an advantage in my book), and he's super cute. Just look at that dapper style!
(Sara's note: Awesome pick, Kenny is cool people)
Second Place
Name: Chris Bolden
Location: St Paul, MN
Primary Language: Java
Biggest Accomplishment: banging out a full blown web based inventory system between climbs at a rock climbing competition
Wow, look at this guy's freakin back! I'm a huge fan of guys that work on their bodies, and the fact that this guy is a mountain climber is hot too. I thoroughly encourage this guy to move to the great state of NJ. We have plenty of mountains here!!!!!
(Sara's note: yeah, ditto)
First Place
Name: Ryan Rose
Location: San Jose, CA
Primary Language: PHP (CORRECTION: Perl)
Biggest Accomplishments: Working for Tivo and setting up a Twitter feed from his washing machine named @PIMPY3WASH
I bought my ex-boyfriend a Tivo, he didn't give it back when we broke up. I'm hoping Ryan takes pity on me and sends me one. Even if he doesn't, though, he wins this contest hands down. Look at those model good looks, and those shoes? Great pick. As soon as I opened this email I knew we had a winner.
(Sara's note: Great pick! Would have been my choice as well, even though he's a PHP (Perl, not as bad!) developer. Taking Ryan's cue for creating social media for inanimate objects I made a MySpace for my microwave you can see here. I still don't really get the point, and now my microwave's addicted to taking kissy-face pictures in the bathroom mirror. THANKS.)
I am APPALLED at how you women make such quick, shallow comments about these geeky men! Us males in the IT industry are TIRED of being treated like pieces of meat to fulfill the wanton fantasies of the legions of female IT professionals!
ReplyDeleteWe will not stand for this kind of abuse! And seriously: a PHP developer takes first place?! And a JAVA guy gets second?!
Unbelievable...

I laughed so much I nearly wet myself. That is the best post I have read in a long long time :) Great work!

ReplyDelete@Jacqueline - But even so, I guess that must have a contest. And I pretty sure that all (man)developers agree with me. lol
ReplyDeleteDamn, they all have their hair.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about everyone else, but that Kenny guy is hella hot!!
ReplyDeleteGood choice, the guy is damn hot! I think Erika is damn hot too, they make up a really nice couple ...
