Sigh. I’m sorry, I don’t actually want to be a cynic and suspect scams everywhere, but I think last Thursday’s “Courage Night” may have been one. Ostensibly, the event was about gathering money and attention for the fight against breast cancer; however, I have serious reservations about the tenor of the event. Key guests were [...]
Canadian-style health care: you should be so lucky

I am getting damn tired of the proponents of health care status quo in the U.S. who use outrageous scare tactics (e.g., aged or sick people will be put to death, etc.) and shameless lies (e.g., slandering the medical systems of countries like Canada, Great-Britain, etc.) “Don’t do this or we’ll end up with Canadian-style [...]

My husband and I went to the rally in Eureka last night, held in protest of Prop. 8. Rallies like this were held around the state and even the country in reaction to the California Supreme Court’s ruling upholding Proposition 8.

So here we are — today bloggers are celebrating the heritage of Ada Byron Lovelace and other “techie” women in science, technology, engineering, and medicine.

“On 21 March 1960, police opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration in Sharpeville, South Africa, against the apartheid “pass laws”. In 1966, the General Assembly proclaimed 21 March as International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to commemorate the Sharpeville tragedy (resolution 2142 (XXI) of 26 October 1966). 21 March [...]

(Continuing the discussion of women in science and technology from Part 3 last week, and leading up to Ada Lovelace Day.) What’s so great about it?
