Equal Rights for Geek Chicks
Congratulations to Francis E. Allen, 75, for winning the Turing Award for Innovations to High Speed Computing. For the first time in 40 years, the Association for Computing Machinery awarded a women the honor.
And I love this… The Associated Press reports:
Allen called it “high time for a woman,” though she quickly added: “That’s not why I got it.”
Apparently 2007 is not really the Year of the Pig, but rather, the The Year of the Demise of the Chauvinist Pig.
First, Madam Speaker of the House. Why she didn’t use the gavel to club the guy standing in front of her at State of the Union is beyond me.
Second, a woman running for POTUS. Like her or not, ya gotta like the idea of ovaries in the oval!
Third, Geek Chicks rule! Go, Fran!
Fourth… please stay tuned!
