Simmering on the mental burner…
Alone, together. I miss reading a good newspaper right when I wake up. The Maui News takes me all of five minutes to read, hardly enough time to finish a Pop-Tart, especially if it’s brown sugar cinnamon. So I’m happy when smart people like Virginia Postrel find and summarize interesting articles […]
What I liked best about Scoble’s “I am not an edge case!” declaration is how it encodes a deep respect for others’ needs and capabilities. He doesn’t set himself apart like you might expect from someone of his renown. Scoble’s manifesto reminds me of a comment made on Alex Barnett’s podcast about attention by one […]
Why do we have to divide everything up by gender? His and hers, boy and girl, female and unfemale. It gets tiresome. There are so many personal qualities more important than gender in determining how you act and what you might accomplish. Like, are you an extrovert or an introvert? Are you good with words, […]
Dave Winer offers his suggestions for reforming the VC industry. Mathew Ingram disagrees with Dave and says “venture capital didn’t create the bubble.” Other opinions from the bloke-o-sphere can be found here, here, here and… oh, why don’t you just go look on tech.memeorandum for the latest.
I’m sure you’ve been wondering, “what does Anne […]

Top 10 Sources is a directory of sites that bring you the freshest, most relevant content on the Web. We know it’s impossible for anyone to keep track of the 20 million+ online […]
BlogHer’s getting ready for the Monday launch of a new surfing guide. As one of two contributing editors in the Technology & Web domain, I’ll be covering women blogging about tech.
misbehaving.net has one of the best blogrolls around listing women tech bloggers. I figure it’s a great place to start in finding the targets of […]
Steve Rubel on Yahoo’s search capitulation: if you don’t want to be King of the Mountain like me, I’m not bothering with you. I don’t get that. If Yahoo search offers something that Steve needs right now, why not use it? Why does it matter if they scale back their goals for the service? It’s […]
I printed out some articles and downloaded a podcast. I’m scattered from skimming too many feeds, so tonight and tomorrow I’m going to focus with full attention on one thing at a time. Here’s what I’ve got lined up so far:
Clay Shirky’s article Ontology is Overrated: Categories, Links, and Tags. This is from last year. […]
Shelley at Burningbird has finally noticed my blog! I’m sad to say it was to slap me down for girlish behavior. I didn’t call out Adam Green on his use of the word chick. Worse, I seemed to celebrate it. I hate the word chick. Yeah! But I loved the idea of talking about BlogHer […]
One of my fondest memories of starting out as a computer programmer was the smelly, long-haired Berkeley dweller working as a contractor at my first job. He helped me figure out how to build real software when all I’d made before were toys. He used to routinely name files “UCantSeeMe” when he didn’t want them […]
