- In video conferencing watch out for bedhead and undone laundry – what is the message you are sending? #
- oh, good, break after lunch. I can go take a nap in Teresa’s room. #
- every panelist has repeatedly stressed the importance of face-to-face. Low-tech alternatives print pictures and post them on the wall #ghc09 #
- also: leave videoconference on all day (maybe with sound turned down) can give a real sense of collaboration. #ghc09 #
- collaborate in real time on documents during the meeting so everyone can comment. videoconf time lag makes everyone look stupid. #ghc09 #
- choose your communications tech to suit the situation, e.g. pitching a big idea for the first time might go better in email initially #ghc09 #
- record meetings, training etc. so those who can’t attend due to time zones can still see it and learn. #ghc09 #
- will Google Wave be an important tool here? Can’t tell – I haven’t seen it yet. Bev: agile teams open a Skype line and leave it open #ghc09 #
- “we keep an org-wide Skype chat and leave it on all day. Amazed how much people use that r than email.” #ghc09 #

- “The Uneasy Relationship Between Feminism & Technology ” starts with video interviews asking “What does feminism mean to you?” #ghc09 #
- @saraford sadly, I don’t think anything has been filmed – and I offered! Lots of notes, blogs, tweets #ghc09 in reply to saraford #
- then asking “Are you a feminist?” Answers to both questions range from great to frightening. #ghc09 #
- overheard on campus: “Do not call me a feminist in public. How do you expect me to get a date?” #ghc09 #
- “No reason men & women shd get equal pay. Women get maternity leave. If they want equal pay, they should keep their legs together” #ghc09 #
- grad student: “I’m not a feminist because I don’t have penis envy.” #ghc09 Also: “I’m not a feminist, but…” Many afraid to claim the title #
- So why not find a new term? We have a perfectly good word, we have much to be proud of. #ghc09 #
- But “feminism” was originally “nicer” than “women’s lib.” It’s now stigmatized like… “liberal”. #ghc09 #
- “I’m not a feminist because I’m a Christian.” – augh! #ghc09 #
- Why do we care? women about 20%, and not equally dist across levels. Only 10% of corp officers and 11% of board of tech Fortune 500 #ghc09 #
- @brendanlawlor Ah, I see.Sorry, tweeting so much and so varioulsy I’m losing track. in reply to brendanlawlor #

- Purple Moon was to persuade girls 8-12 to use computers and help them have a personal rehearsal space to help develop sense of self #ghc09 #
- NB: bought Purple Moon games for my daughter, which she enjoyed tho puzzled about US school culture – she was growing up in Italy #ghc09 #
- women are body-centric navigators, whereas men are great at dead-reckoning – Brenda Laurel #ghc09 #
- social status among peers: girls engage in covert competition #ghc09 #
- probing for mixed gender signals with toys like a pink fuzzy truck – was considered “for girls” because pink/fuzzy overrode truck. #ghc09 #

- @digitalsista thanks! glad to meet new cool folks this way! in reply to digitalsista #
- Purple Moon rsch: girls talked about two selves – inner/private and exterior social self – wonder if that would be different today #ghc09 #
- I wish my daughter was here – the “Rockett” games would be totally a blast from her past. She’s 20 now. #ghc09 #
- Everything you know or wish true likely wrong. Human-centered rsch is fundamental to design, esp design intended to change things #ghc09 #
- Laurel now running grad prog in design at California College of the Arts. I could be tempted… So much to do, in only one lifetime! #ghc09 #
