At the Grace Hopper Conference I attended last month, I went to the “Entrepreneurship: The Fundamentals (and Fun) of Idea Generation” breakout session with Denise Brosseau, President & Co-Founder, Invent Your Future Enterprises, a long-time business coach and serial entrepreneur.

Wii Tennis Gets More Real

Last month, I received an email from Prince announcing their latest product: Seriously! Available starting November 15th at Circuit City. I just played Wii Tennis over the weekend and my real life tennis partner hit me with his controller while making a forehand shot (he’s left-handed).

Nearly 1,400 women who were undergraduates, PhD students, faculty, staff, and other working professionals gathered to discuss technology and changing the future through computer science, information technology, research and engineering.

Men’s Hell

A few friends and I decided to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory atop Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco this weekend. Since we had 35-45 minutes to kill before our seating was available, we decided to go shopping for a little bit. We found ourselves in the women’s shoes section (my girl friend, my [...]

Money, Looks, and Love

Wow, has it been over a month since I last posted here? I’ve been distracted by work, life, and other projects like Tech Generation, but I came across something that was so amusing that I just had to share because love and relationships are always a hot topic. Mix in money and looks and you’ve [...]
