I started to agree with you (my first initial reaction while reading this article was "Huh, typical 'I don't do what's easy and became an entrepreneur and now I'm semi successful' story"). But what does make it different that is that women

I wrote an article a few years ago about my projects with crowdSPRING (which applies to other spec contests in general), which boiled down to clients acting as art directors. The people running the contests will ask for changes ("Oh, I'd ra

This isn't going to help asap, but start building a network now. Meet as many people as possible (both in CS as well as related fields), then use Twitter/LinkedIn and other social media tools to keep in touch with these contacts. When you'r

On a personal perspective, the achievements feel more like a fun "to-do" list. I often don't know what movie to watch, and having a list to go through and check stuff off of (aka, "Oscar Winners in 2010") would give more direction on what t
