What I did three days after the lunar eclipse and two days before Xmas in 2010.

December 23, 2010

So here I am at the office, waiting to jump onto one of the editing stations to finish up episode 25 of iPad Today. It’s the last day of actual work for most of us before the holiday weekend and the editors are all still finishing up other projects, so I’m basically wasting time till one of them caves and leaves.

Before I started writing this post…

I caught up on my Twitter stream.

I caught up on my Tumblr stream.

I answered a Formspring question and deleted the rest in my queue (they were all weird and/or about Justin Bieber).

I checked my Facebook news feed and got a little more annoyed than usual while scanning my high school friends’ baby pictures, because the babies were all wearing Santa hats or dressed like elves. I imagined that these high school friends probably felt equal disdain for me and considered my status updates the lonely rantings of a sad, childless wino.

I discovered that my cat Lucy had been prominently featured in a Techcrunch post.

I checked to see if anyone had left me a question on VYou (they hadn’t).

I glanced at a Jezebel post about Heidi Montag’s plastic surgery scars because every so often I read things like that to remind myself that there are some really terrifying people out there, and even those people regret getting plastic surgery.

I read a post written by a woman in tech complaining that there are too many articles written about how there are too few women in tech. I mostly agreed with the author, but tried not to overanalyze the subject (my general stance is that I’m too busy being a woman in tech to spend too much time thinking about whether or not there are enough women in tech).

I thought about an anonymous commenter in the TWiT chat room while I was producing my live show earlier today who had said something like “This is so stupid. Real geeks don’t care about any of this. Only girls care about this stuff.” My live show was about iPads and I happened to be demo-ing a ridiculous app that had gotten a ridiculous amount of online press in an effort to prove that the app wasn’t really worth it. The comment had bothered me all day because it made it seem like a) my attempt to be entertaining while proving a point about internet buzz being an echo chamber was worthless, and that b) “real geeks” and “girls” are not terms that can overlap.

I realized that I was thinking too much about being a woman in tech and decided that the commenter who ruffled my pretty pink lady feathers can go take a long walk off a short pier. ($1k says it was a he. Sorry, but I only have $1k to bet. Actually I have way less than that.)

I had a glass of wine. I considered a second.

I checked on the editing stations. They were still occupied.

And now I’m here, writing a blog post about what I did over the last two hours, because this is some really compelling shit, people. No, actually it’s because writing a blog post has become this thing I regard as a chore because it takes more effort and thought than all the other things I almost always choose to do first, and I felt like giving myself a challenge.

And now I remember something: it’s fun to blog. I can blog about anything I want! Nobody is proof-reading this, at all! You think this post is dumb, ha! You should see some of the things I wrote but deleted before I published this! Oh my god!

(It should be noted that nothing I deleted included a section that promised any of you a 15-minute orgasm. No offense intended toward the author of an actual book that does actually promise such a thing, but I don’t know a single woman in tech who’s interested in that. Partly because, well, that’s just silly, think about how long 15 minutes really is, that would be like sawing your arm off, and partly because petticoats are so time-consuming and cumbersome to remove and we’re all so busy being in tech to waste that kind of time when we could be blogging.)

beautifully decorated with artwork and carrying the company label. Other than flaunting moncler down coats, the reason behind this is to make the collections customer friendly. This applies the most when shipping has to be done and the type of moncler online shop packaging is used to determine the packaging cost. High quality packaging of moncler uk, watches, earrings and other help protect them from getting dust or moisture from the environment. When people see a buyer carrying a bag with the moncler jackets on sale of the company, they will definitely get attracted and pulled towards with an urge to get the same. moncler coats for sale also enhances flexibility in transport. If the moncler down coats has a good shape, it will be much manageable to transport and distribute. This is highly paid much to details because the moncler online shop company has stores all over the world and a slight mistake can end up destroying the whole collection. Ugg Boots sale packaging is of great importance. It cuts down on the risks that would otherwise have been encountered had the collections got broken or damaged. In today's world, nothing without a discount uggs package has the ability to sell including an eraser. Simple though very important thing to consider is that the ugg boots australia sale uk package is not only aimed at preserving, but to get the attention of the target market. If the ugg australia boots package is all rugged and out of shape, regardless of how much of a treasure the inside is, no one will be interested. Some of these UGG Bailey Button Boots will come with the product for free but if high quality package has to be done like in wholesale, the buyer has to compensate for the extra packaging. It seems that among the consistently hottest sellers from this UGG Ultra Short Boots line is the Highrise.
