I’ve got friends in high places (@goodligations) remaking Rebecca Black videos in science labs. I love a good nerd-parody, especially when they make a dry subject relatable. More of these, please!

I love my people who work in, around, alongside, next-to, by-the-way-side, and with technology, and I don’t give a damn what their gender is. I do know that there still aren’t a whole lot of females…

Hey, look, everyone! It’s an app that glorifies that real-life holiday hazing apparatus that’s globally hated by all women as much as Peppy Le Pew himself — MISTLETOE! As a bonus, it supports a…

I’m getting some wonky vibes from the redesign of the private Facebook profile. The left-most column is fine with clearer navigational elements below the userpic, and the wall is just as ugly as…

Logos for women’s groups always roll my eyes since they overemphasize whimsical femininity and underemphasize our strengths. The collection from “Squiggles, Trees, Ribbons and Spirals: My…
