GirlGeek of the Week
February 2001

Jenny Wanderscheid

Jenny became interested in computers while working at a Kinko's in college. She's been in love with them ever since. When Jenny got married and had kids, and her husband was working crazy hours, she found the Internet and all the wonderful things it offered.

She immediately began running her own Website. She found it not only to be a wonderful hobby but a source of income for her family. "I cannot begin to tell you about all the wonderful people I have met!" says the proud webmaster.

When did you first discover your love and/or obsession with computers and technology?

1988 — fell in love with a 68k mac...LOL! But, I didn't start my website until 1995.

How do you earn a living?

Well, my resume says Domestic Goddess, but in reality, I run the website, ChildFun.com all by myself.

Do you consider yourself a Geek?

Oh heavens yes. When people call me a Geek, I take it as a compliment. In fact, that is one of my husband's pet names for me.

What is your favorite Website?

Well, mine first, but after that is F---edCompany.com. I love seeing all the investment cash cows taking their nosedives.

What do you do when you are not working?

I don't think I understand this question. Hmmmm. Oh, that life thing my mother keeps telling me to get? Right, Ummmm, I love fishing, crocheting, I love to cook, and my kids keep me wonderfully busy.

What's your motto?

Who says parenting can't be fun?

Who would play you in a movie about your life?

The mom from "Malcolm in the Middle."
She is my idol! :)

What would be the title of your autobiography?

Maybe You Are

Who is the person you most admire?

My husband. He is the most amazing person I have ever met.

When and where were you the happiest?

Dec 1, 1992, March 31, 1993, September 2, 1994, and November 18, 1997 (marriage, birth of my first son, birth of my second son, birth of my daughter)

If you could have one super power what would it be?

Only one? ARGH! I guess I'd have to choose actually having the eyes in the back of my head that I always tell my kids I have.
