ADA. LOVELACE. DAY.
Here's one for the girl geeks of the world. (Thanks to @rarepleasures for the tip):
Ada Lovelace Day
Basically...
“I will publish a blog post on Tuesday 24th March about a woman in technology whom I admire but only if 1,000 other people will do the same.”
- Suw Charman-Anderson (contact)
It's named in honour of Ada Lovelace (who will be familiar to readers of The Difference Engine) - colleague of Charles Babbage and one of the first computer programmers - yeah, let alone first *female* programmers. She called herself called herself "an Analyst (& Metaphysician)," and was known as "The Enchantress of Numbers" - SURELY a hero for any age. (Can I have those as my job title for my next role, please?)
Since I'm such a music geek, I plan on writing about Delia Derbyshire, my idol, in terms of electronic music and production.
I know that ALL you girls who read this blog are technologically aware and literate - in many technological fields - photography, digital art, electronic music, blogging - so please join me and do this.
DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT.
