Cool Stuff on the Internet (12/25/2011)

The "Dammit Bandit Don't Pee on the Christmas Tree" Edition

Thought for the Week: Change is Inevitable
Growth is all about change. This post grew from a disconnected series of link shares on facebook and has evolved over the past few months into the coherent format you see now. Expect more change in the future as I figure out how to best consolidate my thoughts on the strange things I find in the weird wide web...
This week's set of links is biased towards the intersection of gender (specifically female) and technology. It's hard out there for girl geeks...

Interesting Links for the Week

11 To-Do’s for Women In Tech
  • On increasing the presence of women in IT
Anti-Bullying Starts in First Grade
  • I'm not a hardcore Star Wars fan, but I have been known to watch an ep or two of Power Rangers... Or maybe a movie... Ok, it was an all day marathon, but that's not point here. Now I give you permission to make fun of me. But first, I want you to think about something you enjoy doing that makes other people look at you strangely. Oh, you don't have an interesting hobby? I think that says more about you than my linking cheesy live action shows says about me.
One teachers approach to preventing gender bullying in a classroom
  • What would happen if we taught nonconformity at a young age? But seriously, who male or female isn't more comfortable in a tshirt, jeans, and sneakers?

  • Barbie has infected Lego. What happened to imagination?
Happiness vs. Contentment
  • Glad to see someone else shares my views on mental health
