Allow me to introduce myself
I have alot of thoughts I will be putting down here, and I welcome your comments. Background: I am a geek in my mid-thirties. Female. Not many of us: geeky females, especially in their mid-thirties. I started off in the geeky world before the World Wide Web was available to the common man - in fact, I remember when it showed up as an option to click on Prodigy (if you don't know what that is: it was like the AOL interface but it was software you installed on your computer so you could participate in chats, shop, et. al.). I used BITNET and newsgroups before the fancy Mosaic browser showed up. Now, I just roll with it, exploiting technology to my advantange (as well it exploits me). I'm not surprised that blogs and such have come to the forefront. Imagine what is was like immediately after moveable type was invented. An idea explosion occured. Now anyone can post their ideas: there is less moderation (read: editing/sensorship) in electronic formats, but then that also encourages the prevelance of the Bad Idea and Stupid Brain Fart). Well, ta for now!
