Sweeping Generalizations Always Make the World Go 'Round and Other Tales


      The one type of feedback I have received most often is that I make too many generalizations. I completely disagree, I just think I have lots of opinions…. People don’t have to agree with them but all opinions are generalizations. Just because I speak my opinions as fact doesn’t actually make them fact, it’s up to you to disagree.

 

    Today’s entry was going to be about Microsoft’s new MVC but I didn’t get to go to that talk yesterday because of work things. So, I will be learning about it on my own over the weekend and writing the review then. What I did end up doing is go to Chili’s, I’m not going to write about Chili’s, they have good chicken though. Lots of kids running around like the sky was falling and screaming. I think screaming kids are the bee’s knees and highly recommend being around them if you have the chance.

 

   Ok, so about this “girl search” I really want to keep this site as a resource for girls that feel that they are alone in IT as developers. We are one in six according to statistics (still think that is fabricated have only personally met one other girl developer in my career). Anyway, I really would like to get some clever, funny, normal chicks to talk about their lives as developers for GirlDevelopers.com which would merge with this site. I don’t know how many girls read this site, but if you know of any awesome girls (I know they are out there) please put them in touch with me. I think it’s a great opportunity for anybody to be a part of something that could be big and definitely a resource for others like us. I have one other chick right now, trying to get two or three.

 

Anyway, going to Six Flags today with my brother. Kingda Ka here I come.
