to celebrate women in technology, i'd like to share a geeky source of inspiration of my youth:
this was a gift from my mother. in case you can't read the caption, it says: "keep the bugs from my system, keep viruses away, protect me from crashes both night and day". i like this mug because it's targeted towards women, just like my mom, who use technology but feel that they're somehow cursed and feel the need to pray to technology deities as a failsafe against bugs, viruses, or crashes. on one hand, it depresses me that it's acceptable to target older women with a pink mug and an angel carrying a computer to heaven because the stereotype that older women aren't good with technology sometimes holds true. but it also makes me have hope, since it proves that those women are at least using computers and know the difference between a bug, a virus, and a crash.
my mom must think i'm a healer of some type.
