This is What Computer Geeks Look Like

Commodore_Grace_M._Hopper,_USN_(covered)

Rear Admiral Grace M. Hopper, USN

Ifyou don’t know the name Grace Hopper, spend 16 minutes with the terrific short feature The Queen Of Code from the Signals channel at 538.com. Then, if you haven’t been, populate your scenes of computer with Grace Hoppers. And Hedy Lamarrs. And the women they have inspired, like Brittany Wenger.

Hedy Lamarr

  • Trivia: My Lady Lipstick and the Ocarina of Time
    The Ocarina of Time is a game from the universe of Zelda. Zelda is awesome. If you want to know more than that you'll have to ask Karin's son Lee or Paris Ellison from (My Lady Lipstick) for yourself. #ZeldaRules

  • Sugar at Lambda Book Report
    ...Cake layers, ganache, and fondant - the detailed descriptions of baked goods had me ready to bike immediately to the local café for a triple-chocolate-chip cookie.
  • Reader Comments about In Deep Waters 1
    These stories are great as stand alone and as surprise returns of characters I had read before.
