  • YOW Women in Tech Competition

    Last October I attended a YOW Night talk on “Instantly Better Presentations” with Damian Conway. It was fantastic, and I spent the night feverishly taking notes on how to give more effective technical talks. At the end of the night, I was excited to learn that YOW were launching a Women in Tech Competition to increase the diversity of speakers at their events. You had to submit a talk proposal, and five winners would be given a full day workshop with Damian as well as the opportunity to speak at a YOW event in 2015. I sent off my talk proposal, and a couple weeks ago I was delighted to hear that I was one of the winners! My workshop with Damian is next month, and I’m excited to get feedback from him on the previous conference talks I’ve given. Congratulations as well to my fellow winners Isabel, Octavia, Rhiana, and Katie!

    Periodically we google our friend Emmanual Tacher who we lost touch with. Today we found his obituary. Died at 38 from cancer. No words.

    @RoseRed_Shoes @redambition @catehstn Thanks. Haven’t seen him for 14 years, but we’re both shattered. He had a little kid. It sucks.

    @catehstn @techspeakdigest I was! It was a nice surprise. I realised afterwards my SOOOOO could’ve come off as sarcastic. Glad it didn’t. 🙂
