Red Monk and the Women’s Tee Dilemma

April 29, 2008 – 10:43 pm

RedMonk likes to think its pretty cool company, with plenty of smart women in its community. So when it was planning for RedMonk’s unconference this year May 5th at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, it wanted to make sure it had t-shirts specially made for women.
T-shirt driven development is very important in community [...]

This Week’s Links on Ma.gnolia

April 25, 2008 – 10:59 pm

Some stuff I’m reading this week…
Navajo Dolphin Necklace

hahahahahahahaha - Kind of an ‘in’ joke with me and my gals, but the basic premise is that we call white people who tweet Navajo proverbs and other similarly non-reflective stuff ‘Navajo Dolphins’. Kind of like BoBos (Bourgeoisie Bohemians), but younger and less affluent.
Women speakers at Web 2.0 [...]

I sat down with Patti and Perry of Timbuk2 to ask them about their views on customer service, quality and community. Their answers are pretty cool.

Scott Kveton interviews Me on Identity

April 16, 2008 – 8:48 am

Thanks to Scott Kveton, of Vidoop, who stopped me at BarCampAustinIII, to talk about OpenID and other identity related matters.
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about identity online (although get me going with a few beer offline!). I think the only other recent discussions I’ve had around identity is on the Citizen Garden [...]

Women 2.0 Business Plan Competition

April 13, 2008 – 4:00 pm

I heart what Women 2.0 are doing with their programs to encourage women with startup ideas. If you are a woman with an idea for a startup, DO THIS. Even if you are a team that includes 1/2 women, DO THIS.
[copied and pasted press release...I don't usually do this, but this is well worth [...]

The Whuffie Factor: Cindy Li’s Cover

April 8, 2008 – 8:40 am

This is pretty exciting! Not only did I have Zane Vredenburg’s ENTIRE CLASS of art students take on the original version (these are pretty cool!) after I tweeted that I wasn’t totally happy with it, but I also lamented to Cindy Li, one of my favorite graphic designers around, that I wasn’t happy and she [...]
