I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

Blast from the past... Just found this photo from 9 yrs ago when I let TV people give me hair extensions in order to demonstrate how TV hair adverts are made (it was a documentary on the science of hair - I swear this was serious science!). 1/2

This is getting ridiculous.

Food banks in Canada are calling on Canadians donating food this holiday season to also reach out to their members of Parliament to advocate for the implementation of basic income to keep people above the poverty line and "put food banks out of business." 💯 ✊️ www.cbc.ca/radio/asitha...

A UBI-like program in Indonesia reduced deforestation by 30%. A new 2-yr pilot will evaluate how rainforests can be saved by UBI by directly reducing Indigenous people's poverty.

Different ways of drawing the exact same thing….just a plain 32x32 square grid ☺️

I made a website traintimes.org.uk that can e.g. show you live departures 7 times quicker than the official site, even though it... gets the data from the official site? It’s both a policy failure, and symptomatic of failures in some modern web development. www.webpagetest.org/video/compar...
