To celebrate Ada Lovelace day, today, March 24, bloggers around the globe are celebrating by publishing posts about women in technology they admire.

I really do like how Google Calendar works, and I like the fact that it tries to interact smartly with my gmail. I’ve been amused at some of the entries it has tried to make. This might be my best yet. The funny thing is, it wasn’t a particularly abject or obsequious email thread, but [...]

This week is the Internet User Experience conference, a conference spotlighting methods for dramatically improving today’s web site user experience. I attended the conference last year and gained a lot from listening to my colleagues in other usability, web design, and human factors companies locally and globally. I was grateful for the things I learned [...]

I’m thinking I’m going to not delete any past posts, but also disable the autoposting from my del.icio.us to this blog. I’m also considering deleting past posts, but that seems so much more drastic.
