Another reason why I love the internet. It provides a forum for anyone to create. And this gal has done it. Her blog is simply fantastic and hilarious. The author can clearly write, and yet her ability to capture the satire of it all is just wonderful. A blurb….

Being white means to engage in a day in, day out struggle to prove that you are smarter than other white people. By the time they reach college, most white people are confronted with the fact that they may not be as smart as they imagined.

In coffee shops, bars, and classes white people will engage in conversations about authors and theorists that go nowhere as both parties start rattling off progressively more obscure people until eventually one side recognizes one and claims a victory. By the time they graduate (or a year or two afterwards), white people realize that they will need an edge to succeed in the cut-throat world of modern white society.

Women in Tech

San Francisco Magazine published a cover story on GooGirl Marissa Meyer, Googles 20th employee and first female engineer.  She is an impressive women indeed.    Yet the chatter in the blogosphere, and in far too much  of the article, focuses not on her professional achievements, but on her love of cooking, cupcakes, and entertaining.    All of these details are great, I too love to cook, but I am bothered by the insistence and need to cast a very successful and powerful women in a overwhelmingly feminine light.   Regardless, women in technology are here to stay and its always fun to read about a young women that is taking numbers and making millions.   Kick ass Marissa Meyer.
