After blogging here on a mish-mash of topics for a number of years, I'm shuttering this blog and moving on to a new domain, focused on web development and technical management. I hope you'll join me at Obi-Wan Kimberly!
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.
I keep telling people that I’ll play ‘Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock’ with them, but I get blank stares in return. How does everyone not know about this game? Learn more from the following video, and watch The Big Bang Theory!
I’m at Bryn Mawr today for a meetings, and while in one about engaging young alumnae I chatted with my old friend Carolyn Lloyd ‘99:
- Carolyn
- When are you going home?
- Me
- Umm…
- Carolyn
- Well when are you going wherever? What time zone are you going to?
- Me
- Well… I usually just operate on Eastern Standard Time…
- Carolyn
- I think you should have your own time zone. Kimmie Standard Time!
I was too tired to have a decent exchange with Carolyn, but the KST concept is pretty funny… though with all of the time zone changes I go through, maybe it ought to be called Kimmie Non-Standard Time?
In Boston, some Aqua Teen Hunger Force light boards triggered bomb scares! Apparently they’ve been up in 10 cities for a few weeks, but only in Boston did they cause bridges to be shut down.
First, I’m sorry, but this seems ridiculous. Some one thought that light art, which to me wouldn’t seem any different than sticker or stencil graffiti (a la Andre the Giant or Radiohead or Space Invaders), might be an explosive device? Really?
Second, this has to become part of an upcoming ATHF episode. The Mooninites would demand it!
Third, looks like ATHF has gotten exactly what they wanted — a lot of publicity! The company they hired to create this campaign may get a lot of criticism, but they clearly did their job well!
The explosion shall be of extraordinary magnitude. Just hang on. -Ignignokt
My 2006 holiday gift to you, the people of the Web… an updated Beverly experience! Now with the ability to add your own stories, and a Flickr group.
Maybe someone I know will get me this Geek Love Poem T-shirt for Valentine’s Day.
