  • Made Scoble’s most interesting list, yippee

    Because it’s the larger than life Robert Scoble, it figures his list of most interesting bloggers/twitters/friendfeed folks is way longer than most. Nevertheless, I was thrilled to find myself on Robert’s list; it’s nice to know that as this blog gets more electic, it still engages him (and others). It’s also interesting to see who… Continue Reading

  • Getting ready for Arse talk: Notes

    I’ve been writing the talk for Arse Electronika that I am going to give with Viviane on Friday.

  • Quote of the Day

    “I never played against my own intelligence to make men comfortable around me. I come on strong by being open, not teasing. I don’t look for strength in men’s eyes that way. As temporarily delightful as cocktail conversation may be — until our cabs come — I get my real and lasting courage from my… Continue Reading

  • danah boyd going to MSFT Research New England: Do women hire women?

    danah boyd’s just announced that she’s headed to the newly formed Microsoft Research Labs in Cambridge, Mass, not a bad place to think deep thoughts.  I’m thrilled for danah, but I also wonder if this hire is more evidence that women hire women, and that diversity and creating a woman-friendly environment are inseperable (uh, duh!)… Continue Reading

  • Dept of Susan: What the projects are

    Here’s where my attention is going these days, with different proportions of attention to each at different times: Co-founder, People’s Software.  We have a cool idea about a scheduling problem we want to solve and we’re working on getting our first app from alpha to beta, so we have enough features to get it out… Continue Reading
