Feature: Dead Crush

When I tweeted that I was working on my Dead Crush list, one of the responses I received was from fellow tweeter Lewis Shepphard, the Director of the Microsoft Institute for Advanced Technology in Governments. @Lewissheppard responded about an old girlfriend who had a Dead Crush on Stu Sutcliffe. Even in the case of Dead Crushes, we geeks understand that it takes one to know one. We became fast friends.

A Dead Crush knows no bounds; they may be brain crushes, artistic crushes, creative crushes, or just crush crushes. They have moved beyond the limitations of gender, culture, age and time; they have only two things in common: 1) They are dead. 2) We love them anyway.

Here we'll honor the beloved dead. We'll review the books, movies and articles about them. We'll discuss the impact they had on us.

If you'd like to see your Dead Crush here send a twitter response to @a_geek_girl with the tag #deadcrush or send an email to the gmail account mydeadcrush. If your Dead crush is accepted I'll link your tweet or website in the article.
