The Adnostic

When it comes to web geeks, there is no one hotter than Dave Shea. Dave is the creator of CSS Zen Garden, a virtual gallery for designers and artists who know good code intended to promote the benefits of using Cascading Style Sheets. For me, I just think it's pretty; and neat. I think it's neat too.

Dave is the co-author of The Zen of CSS Design and considered to be a premier authority on the convergence of web technology and design aesthetic and has spoken at a multitude of international seminars and conferences over the past few years.

Mr. Shea is also been blessed with extremely good looks. Observe:

The dark hair. The noble, aquiline features. The strong, heroic chin. Those deep set, dazzling blue eyes. The stylish, yet masculine choice of couture. And don't get me started on his voice. I could listen to that man talk about code until my ears bled.

Bottom line - This is one very hot brain.

I'm also not the only one who thinks so. Furthermore, Dave is currently the lead nominee for a possible calendar of geeky babes to benefit CalWAC. It's hard to argue with evidence like that.

A mandatory for any Gallery of Hot Brains.

One of my favorite aspects of the internet is the ability to take someone else's idea, put your own spin on it, and go nuts. Mena Trott, the Mother of All Bloggers, has an actual Wall o' Hot Brains in her office. Upon learning this, I couldn't help but think what an amazing idea that was and that I should have something like that.

Well, I don't have any walls at my office (open office layout meant to encourage collaboration, but only serves to make you that much more likely to get of your neighbor's nerves) and I am not all that thrilled about the idea of making my home look any more like a dorm room, so I decided to create a virtual version of Mena's creation.

I now present to you, Lauren's Virtual Gallery of Hot Brains, because nothing is sexier than a good-looking man with a little extra between the ears!
