At the end of last year I posted some predictions for 2009. It's a nasty habit I stolepicked up from Cringely, it's one I enjoy, and since blogs are generally self-serving I plan to do it again.
Despite there being a few weeks left in the year, I'm posting the results from last years predictions. I did fairly well, but then this year really was boring and predictable.

I can't help but be slightly disturbed by this article.
Perhaps I'm looking at it the wrong way, but the main argument seems to be "if you want to encourage girls to participate in tech things, you need to be clean and not have any of that "boy" stuff lying around". Because we all knows girls don't like Star Wars, and are mostly concerned with cleaning*.
I'm working on a proper summary of my foray into feminism, but I want to make sure I get the wording right, lest I offend someone. Because we all have the right to not be offended**.
* - This is sarcasm.
** - This is also sarcasm. |
