Playrolling 
| | There are just two performances left: today and tomorrow. If you're in the area, go dig it. |
| | A nice video about the production has been added to the play's Web page. |
| | Can you tell I'm a proud pop? Well, it's with cause. She's really good. |
Blogflockage, cont'd
| | Also as promised, more detail from Brent Ashley on this amazing story he told about finding that his birth dad (Brent's adopted) is the drummer Chico Fernandez, who also operates a music store in Santa Monica. In fact, both are drummers, and bear a remarkable resemblance, except for height. Brent refers to Chico as his mini-me. Dig the picture in that last link. |
| | One of the other points that I've heard - which I forgot to say last night, but which I think is insightful - is that women tend to get into technology when they can see a clear use for it. When they can say, "hey, this web thing is cool, I can get my company to sell stuff to our customers online and buy stuff from our suppliers online and jack into their ordering system and save lots of time and hassle", or when they say, "I can communicate with my family halfway around the world via email without paying long-distance rates" then they get excited. But, if something is just a cool toy, or it's intellectually interesting but doesn't seem to have an application, women tend to dismiss it (generalizing again). Projects, ideas, techie stuff has to have a concrete application for women to get thrilled about it - women just aren't wowed by the cool factor. |
The legend stops here
| | Now that Ross has pointed out how much this blog has turned into a tale of techno-woe (not to mention as WoE, which is a fine and wholly different thing), I've decided to stop complaining. If giant raptors swoop down and steal away my laptop, my camcorder and my cell phone or my shoes, you're not gonna hear about it. |
| | Enough already. There's too much that matters anyway. If shit happens, it happens. |
