Ada Lovelace Day...

...is actually tomorrow.  I am unlikely to have time tomorrow for posting, though, so have a post now!

Anyway, Ada Lovelace Day is a blogging holiday for celebrating the women of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).  For more information, see findingada.com.   What you're supposed to do is write about a women in one of the STEM fields

Hehehe! That comic is great <3

I rather wish I was one more for science and math. I always figured I was, I seemed that kind of person, but but then I fell hard for literature and that's what keeps me up nights and gets me out of bed in the morning, so what can you do?

Massive love and respect for women in those fields, though, including my mom, who is a chemical engineer and has old computer programming punch cards she used in college stuck in her books as bookmarks *g*

Hark! A Vagrant is a wonderful webcomic. :D

I sort of had the opposite happen to me. I always thought I was more suited for the arts or the humanities, and then I took a college math class and got OBSESSED. I'm still a creative writing major, but I'm looking into ways to do more math after I graduate this spring.

Aw, punch cards! I bet your mom is awesome. My dad did electrical engineering, but then he became a businessman instead. :P

Awesome! I totally did not know this. If LJ is being more co-operative tomorrow, I might have to make an entry myself.

Happy Ada Lovelace day, Maya! You keep doing that Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Math thing you do. :)

Thanks! :)

What is your actual field?

[ladymercury_10]

Oh, cool! So do you do engineering sort of things with urban transport?
