You will be wanting to read my excellent essay, 'Suzy the Computer' vs. 'Dr. Sexy': What's a Geek Girl to Do When She Wants to Get Laid? in She's Such a Geek! Women Write About Science, Technology, and Other Nerdy Stuff.

If you have not yet figured out why you shoud not be using terms like "hard science" and "soft skills", then you absolutely need to read Telling Stories About Engineering: Group Dynamics and Resistance to Diversity in NWSA Journal v. 16 No. 1, 2004 (Re)Gendering Science Fields.

You should also read They Blinded Me With Science: Misuse and Misunderstanding of Biological Theory, an excellent critique of Thornhill and Palmer's nonsense about rape as an evolutionary strategy. You can find it in Burack and Josephson's must-read tome, Fundamental Differences: Feminists Talk Back to Social Conservatives.

Off To See The...Blogger Wizards in North Carolina!

Category: Friday Fare
Posted on: January 19, 2007 9:41 AM, by Zuska

I'm off to BlogTogether, the North Carolina Science Bloggers Conference, this weekend. And in a perversely un-blogger like move, I am NOT taking my laptop with me so that I can blog minute-by-minute from the conference. I plan to be unplugged from my computer from, oh, approximately now until I return Sunday afternoon. Hell, I may not blog until Monday.

Besides, Mr. Zuska wants the laptop to burn some cds from his old tape collection. I won't say from which famous jam band he has about a gazillion concert tapes he made himself and/or traded for. But if you know what a Betty Board is, I don't have to tell you.

P.S. Please don't tell Mr. Zuska I wrote this. He'll be very upset. He's a very upstanding corporate citizen these days.

Gazillion was enough of a clue! Betty Board made it easy.

I hope he enjoyed his weekend burning! And, I suspect, listening at higher than normal volumes.

Hee! If you didn't already know, Betty Boards wasn't going to help you any, I suppose. But it was fun to put it in.

Yes, I am pretty sure the volume was up a bit higher than usual while I was away...it's good for the soul, you know!
