amberella (me), live-tweeting from HOPE
Before The Last HOPE, ubergeeke over at .51 - Geekspace for Women asked me to keep her in mind for a guest post about the role of women in the conference. I apparently wrote her a book.
How is it that as an increasing number of women graduate with Computer Engineering and other technical or hard science degrees and girl-geek culture explodes thanks to New Media™, that there is not a commensurate increase in women’s contributions to the hardcore techie and hacker community? It’s no longer difficult to find women espousing their love of iPhone apps and digg.com – the problem is finding those that want to infiltrate the realms of bug trackers, penetration testers, and the corporate suites reserved for CTOs and CISOs. more»
This should mark the end of my HOPE related posting, as far as I know. If there’s something you’re interesting in hearing about, let me know.
Last night I decided to start a new painting for my bedroom.
Instead of playing the debate drinking game, I tried to not punch the canvas everytime I wanted Obama to scream Are you fucking serious?!
Finally got the painting finished and stuck to the wall.
For no particular reason, I noticed that this is the picture that has the most views on my flickr. That’s kinda cool, I guess, though it still has only 20% of the views of the picture in another account I took of the Diggnation taping that Alex Albrect happened to tweet in 2008. Ha.
Amber: “Adam’s inner-programmer was deeply affronted that the caption insinuated we were ‘helping him with his vote’ when really we had just developed and deployed the school’s first electronic mock-election. Meanwhile, I still make dork look cool.”
There was different ways of schoolin’ at Wayne Newton Elementary.
Oh hey that’s me! I love dorkyearbook, tons of lulz.
In other stuff-I-put-on-flickr news, I finally finished uploading and captioning a walkthru of a case mod I did back in 2005. It was all about this clear/UV reactive spraypaint and neato japanese designs. Check it out, yo.
Also - there’s a thread from back in the day discussing it on TheBestCaseScenario, fyi.
