I'd like to take this space to apologize on behalf of my state, Wisconsin. Can't believe my beloved Feingold voted for this :(

I've never been able to find something similar. I tend to start off with a good font stack and then calculate vertical rhythm. I also tend to start with a larger base font and work toward a style with narrower line lengths.

It's interesting to me that there are so many programs dedicated specifically to girls. My issue growing up and being a huge science/math/history geek wasn't that I didn't have access to these things as a girl, but that the clubs and groups

I've been seeing a lot of this lately, too. I wonder how much of it is related to the Digg mass exodus?

That's hard; I've been there. I tend to smile and bear it. As long as you weren't as much of a jerk to them as they are to you, hope for the best?

I've been there. I think all of us have been there. It really helped me to find people that were passionate about the same things I was. I found user groups and not only went to them, became an active member and organizer. People come to me

Traditional tv is going the way of the newspaper. Had they been smart, they would have seen it coming instead of trying to scramble in the coming couple years like the newspaper industry has been doing for the past 5.

We use Open Atrium which is an install profile of Drupal. It's great because the feature set (by default) is very minimal, but it caneasily be extended with any of Drupal's modules, or you can create your own features. I love it because it'

This also assumes that having children means one or the other parent's job is to stay at home with them, which hasn't been true for a number of years because of the amount of money needed to sustain a family and the fact that women no longe

I know tons of successful women who run businesses who are fine without having children; I also know quite a few who have children and are still able to run a business. This whole argument goes back to the beginning of the feminist movement

As a woman (and someone who is friends with the Brazen peeps) this is highly insulting. It assumes that all women want to have children, that men are mostly absent/dismissive in their children's lives (if they have them), and insinuates tha

I don't know that technologists really indicate what the general populace will do; they tend to try new things less often and will continue to use the same product long after it's life expectancy. I use the latest beta of Chrome.

Are you talking travel or moving? Moving: I find I do a lot of research online first. I look at the areas of the city that tend to be younger and vegan friendly. I try to find tech meetups/groups as a way to meet new people, get friends, an
