Hi, my name is Kimberly Blessing. I'm a computer scientist, Web developer, standards evangelist, feminist, and geek. This is where I write about life, the Web, technology, women's issues, and whatever else comes to mind.
Obligatory Pre-SXSW Post
Alrighty folks, it’s SXSW time.
Come to the WaSP Annual Meeting where we’ll tell you what we’ve been up to, and where we’ll be Takin’ it to the Street on Monday, March 12 at 5 PM.
My AOL pals are doing another “How to Convince Your Company” panel, this time on embracing mashup culture. And Arun is also doing a browser wars panel, and I honestly can’t think of anyone else who’d be better at leading such a discussion.
I was surprised to learn that PayPal is also getting involved in SXSW, by sponsoring an evening event: the PayPal SXSW Showdown. I’m going to meet the organizer later today and find out what it’s all about. If you want to attend, be sure to RSVP!
Other stuff I’m looking forward to…
- Finally meeting fellow WaSP Steph Troeth
- Getting to room and geek out with Erica Rios (Xicanista) of the Anita Borg Institute
- Connecting with fellow Mawrter Sarah Tan, and
- Finding the perfect person to fill the Web Standards Evangelist position I have open at PayPal!
If you see me, stop me and say hello!

Wish I could make it down to Austin for all the fun. I would be a poseur and everybody would immediately notice, but hopefully not care. Maybe next year.
