  • Complete Exhaustion

    Since it was our last night at SXSW, we decided to hit a party after dinner. We’d passed the night before. Boy, am I hating myself for that. Plus there were the 4 or 5 margaritas I had at dinner. Thankfully, I feel more tired than hungover and my flight doesn’t leave until 5 p.m.…

  • Living in the Internet World

    I don’t think my observations from yesterday have entirely changed, but I’m sitting here watching this guy talk to some of his friends about the panel that I watched him in this morning. And yesterday, I watched this guy and this woman and then saw the guy walk right past me. It’s kind of cool…

  • SXSW: some observations

    I’m having a good time, for sure, but it’s interesting to be someone who’s really on the outside in a number of ways. First, I’m not “in the industry.” And second, despite the fact that there are quite a few women around, we’re still in the minority. Last night, we went to the opening party…

  • Worlds colliding

    Having a great time in Austin so far. After a few snags with airport parking, missed connection and a broken coffee pot, I’m now sitting in the lobby waiting for Mike. We stayed out way, way late last night. First, we attempted to go to the BlogHer meetup at Stubbs. We hung out at the…

  • Trying to get to SXSW

    We missed a connecting flight, so we’re hanging out for a few hours in the airport. We had lunch with beer. Now we’re watching CNN, blogging. Wish we were napping. Tags: sxsw,sxsw2006,Geeky Mom Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

  • Talking to my son about abortion

    Last night, Geeky Boy watched the video I linked to in the post below. If you haven’t seen it, the creators go to an abortion clinic protest and ask each participant one by one if they think abortion should be legal or illegal. They all say illegal, of course. Then, they ask what the punishment…

  • I am my uterus: blogging against sexism

    Personally, in the last couple of months, my life has been largely sexism free. I have not directly experienced anything sexist. That’s not to say I haven’t experienced it in the past. I have been trying to write this post for 24 hours now. I’ve written stuff. I’ve erased it. Honestly, I’m not sure where…

  • Here’s what a geek I am

    PSoTD wonders about the realism in Eight Below and I head to Wikipedia to see what I can find out. Those are kelp gulls, btw. I have not been able to determine if they hang out there in the winter. I use my laptop as a cookbook. I’m excited to see my cocomment greasemonkey script…
