Stefanie Pakrul aka Steph the Geek
- StephTheGeek.com
Stephanie Pakrul is better known on the internet as StephTheGeek. She's a 22 year old IT student from Toronto, Canada who finally outgrew her annoying, teenage dot-com entrepreneur phase, but maintained the enthusiasm. At the end of 2003, Stephanie released her debut album, Not A Victim, to critical acclaim. StephTheGeek.com started in 2001 as a small personal website, and turned into one giant case of scope creep.
Stephanie has been featured on TechTV, CBC's Street Cents, and in Young Entrepreneur, CosmoGirl, and several newspapers. Her diverse interests include increasing efficiency in everyday life through innovative uses of technology, adult industries, and consumer rights, but she is best known for her extensive site that now has a strong community of 40,000 unique visitors each month. StephTheGeek.com is her personal playground, sharing every detail of her life, from the mundane to the wild. She fully expects her site to one day gain sentience, kill her in her sleep, and take over as the real Steph.
