I went to New York City for the weekend to attend She’s Geeky, an unconference for women in technology.

Overall, the conference had much less low-level techie stuff than I had expected, but this turned out to be a great boon because I turned my attention toward the bigger picture of technology today.

Here were some of my take-aways:

I can’t help but wonder if screen-scraping and self-tracking are the ultimate answers to “opening up” api’s that don’t open all of the information they collect on a user back to that user.

Ok, ok, we all know that Ada Lovelace was the 1st programmer, but did you know about the six Eniac Programmers and how their story was nearly lost to history had it not been for the work of a female programmer who brought to light their huge contribution to the history of computing?

Personal Branding is less about being your own pimp and more about communicating what you bring to the table.

Also, because of a tip from the conference, I am now the proud owner of an unlocked G1! Thanks for the reference, Debbie!!!
