I disliked Sheryl Sandberg because she is successful.

By Maggie Fox on March 12, 2013

I have long expressed strong opinions about the importance of diversity in the workplace, was the co-founder of an organization devoted to making technology more accessible to women and believe the “likability double standard” almost all of us hold about ambitious women vs. men needs to be smashed into a million pieces. And yet, I’m […]

The Lack of Tech Industry Diversity – 1 Year Later

The Lack of Tech Industry Diversity – 1 Year Later

By Jeff Nolan on August 29, 2010

The WSJ wrongly takes aim at Mike Arrington on the topic of women in tech. I don’t agree with him that not enough women want to become entrepreneurs (but I’m married to one so I’m biased) however I do agree that the WSJ is flat out wrong to target TechCrunch for an issue that is […]

Ada Lovelace Day 2010

By Craig Cmehil on March 24, 2010

I’ve always thought it’s best to celebrate those you admire whenever the chance arises however on occasion, such as today when the world has a sharp eye on the topic it’s quite often good to celebrate specific people in connection and the same context. Today, March 24, 2010 is Ada Lovelace day, and everyone is […]

The New Face of Geek Chic

By Susan Scrupski on March 23, 2010

Women, Speaking and what’s fair?

Women, Speaking and what’s fair?

By Craig Cmehil on August 20, 2009

Awhile back I wrote a post about someone I admire, it happened to be a woman and for Ada Lovelace day.
That woman, Marilyn, recently has become part of a group called Technically Women, along with several other woman that I know (some more than others). Now it’s quite interesting that very recently as I myself […]
