Sometimes reading blogs is really fun.

I guffawed today reading Tara's blog.
"The cracker community tends to use creative spellings as a sort of jargon, and coinages such as warez have even escaped into more mainstream usages."


Whaaat?

I really enjoyed some chuckles when I happened across Mena's Corner, a blog from Mena Trott, one of the founders of Six Apart, who created the Movable Type blog tool that we use. Mena's one of the few company presidents these days writing a corporate blog. She provides a great perspective on life at the top.

My first chuckle came from reading her post from April 13 that Six Apart has opened the Six Shop, where you can buy t-shirts and such. First of all, the fourth-grader (who's still active - fortunately and unfortunately) in me snickered at the name of their online store.

Secondly, and with great joy, I read about her favorite tees:

"My personal favorites are the Ladies Rebuilding T-Shirt and the Ladies Wrench T-Shirt. ....

Yeah, and there are men's shirts too."


In a world where women have been forced for years to wear men's polo shirts to every technology trade show and event, I really got a kick out of her attitude.

I'm delighted in looking around once in awhile, that women are making an impact on the mostly white, mostly male world of technology.
