wrote a whole long post about the concert last night. then wordpress decided to do it’s whole angry thing and refuse to post. i’ve fixed the db problem now, and will rewrite tomorrow. hope that this post can go up before midnight to keep this on a roll!
Got a super nice note from the organizer of yesterday’s event. Hi Jen, Thank you so much for your “my life” talk today. You were fantastic! I flipped through about half of the stack of evaluation surveys. For the question about “What things did you like most about the day”, I noticed three girls that […]
Today I am going to U of T campus to talk to the group of young women who are participating in the Gr8 Designs for Gr8 Girls workshop. Super exciting to tell them all about being a software developer (*not* programmer) and to help break down the gender stereotypes that exist around my profession. Should […]
Today I presented a workshop at ECOO 2009. You can see the details of the outreach we do on the Teaching With Scratch website. Please pass along to any teachers that you know who might be interested!
Today’s blog posting will be short and to the point: I have a headcold. Good thing I have lots of tea to make me better. (And pills. And nose spray.) See you tomorrow!

Today my GPS is a Space Case* To get to Crossfit I like to use my Garmin. It’s in a new location, and it’s super early in the morning, so it’s going to take a few times of me being taken there by the GPS before I’m ready to drive there on auto pilot. This […]
