16. Xeni Jardin - The Queen of Boing


  • Who? The go-to Techzpert for, uh, everyone? You earn that kind of sweeping generalization when 'Playboy' taps you to write an "Astropreneur" profile -- which you knock out between Wired articles and stints on NPR -- all just padding for the resume, really. As host of Boing Boing TV and co-editor of its A-list parent site, Xeni could pretty much just sit on those laurels and still be considered blogger royalty.
  • Bikini Time? More 'Matrix' than Maxim, but still fascinated by mystery porn with rectal crankshafts, so maybe instead of a bikini, just a really uncomfortable thong.
