For some reason, the subject of women and technology seems to have come to the fore today. First, I got a comment on an entry in my other blog about women and technology, which gave me a heads up on some very good blogging going on about the topic.

Slow blogging months
Well, the next couple of months or so are going to be slow blogging months. First off, I have two final papers due – the only assignments for my two classes this semester.
