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!

Watch as a young(er) David Letterman is upstaged by Grace Hopper, not long after her retirement in 1986. My favorite part? Dave asks, “How did you know so much about computers then?” and Grace replies, “I didn’t. It was the first one!”
And I’m damn proud of it. Why do I mention this now? Because on October 13, members of the Ridley Raider Marching Band are reuning to celebrate our long-time leader, Rick Swallow. Be there!
In the meanwhile, check out this video from my freshman year in high school — the Ridley Raider Marching Band performing Scheherazade…
