When I was given a chance to do a panel presentation at South by Southwest on being Just Over 50 and Not Dead Yet, one thing I sure did not want was to have 5 white guys talking.
In the end it was 2 women and 3 guys.
I don't consider myself an ubergeek.
One thing I find disturbing is guys in tech playing with their new toys and talking code and jargon.
Kind of like guys talking about cars obsessively.
The social skills can be lacking.
So when I noticed Stephanie Booth mentioning Ada Lovelace Day on Twitter, I thought I should join in celebrating the role of women in tech.
I visited Pledge Bank To Sign Up the Pledge offered by Suw Charman-Anderson.
"I will publish a blog post on Tuesday 24th March about a woman in technology whom I admire but only if 1,000 other people will do the same."
Trying to do at least one good thing a day.
