2010 Top 10 Beards in Tech
This is what happens when the men are not in the office and it is left to just us ladies. We go searching for some scruff. We bring you the 10 top sexy beards of 2010. Enjoy!
1) Mark Trammel. You are the man. You win. There were so many good photos, we had to lay down a few. I had never heard of this guy before today, but I don't know, he looks mega cool. I don't know if it is the beard, but you just want to hang out with him. You just want to hug him. He does some kind of design research at Twitter - whatever that means. I think we're going to stalk him now. This is how he self-describes:
Young ragamuffin from the streets. A French duke lying about in hammocks eating soft cheese. Chimney sweep. Design Researcher at Twitter. Not Zach Galifianakis.
Well, Trammel. You have a standing invite from us to come get soft cheese at the Zivity office any time. As long as none of it gets in that lovely beard of yours.
2) Woz gets second place just for having a beard for a longer duration than anyone else on this list. He's got an OG beard which is probably rocking sauce from the 80s and the original diagrams for the first Apple computer are in there somewhere.
3) Chris Sacca - Known for his wild western shirts, cunning wit and wide array of web two dot oh investments, Chris rocks a mean beard. He's not wooly enough to be our first place winner, but he gets mad points for it not just being fashionable in the winter, but having it year round.

4) Ryan McGeehan - You've got to love a ginger beard and with that shirt? What could be hotter? Ryan manages security at Facebook. I mean, really, nothing gets past that beard. That's the firewall of doom. I feel secure right now... like I'm wearing a tight wool sweater.
5) Owen Thomas - What's up with guys named Owen and beards? Seriously. We searched for recent photos, but we were only able to find this one that makes Thomas look like a bear down on Folsom street. The only thing better than that beard, is a beard and leather chaps.
6) Wil Wheaton. Wonder kid from Star Trek now turned geek aficionado has what someone on Twitter calls a "mystical wizard beard". I'm not seeing wizard here, but his beard is fuzzy and cute regardless, so he's in.
7) Doc Pop had his own sub at Ikes. How many people can say that? Not only does he have a sweet ass blonde beard (as you can see, there's a shortage of them), he's a super nerd who works with games and shit. He's also a rapper and has some bad-ass skills with a yo-yo.
8) Owen Van Natta - He's never committed to his beard, but he's spotted with some manly sexy scruff from time to time. We think he should go full out and show us what that face is made of.
9) Pete Cashmore - Oh Pete. Like Owen Van Natta, you just can't commit or maybe you just can't grow a beard. Is that Sharpie on your face or the real deal?
10) Steve Jobs action figure - Better than the real deal we think. That's one hot sexy hunk of plastic.
