I think sock monkeys are creepy

I figured out a reason why sock monkeys are so creepy. Their mouths are sewn shut like in some horror movie! Nobody sew them end to end. *shiver*

The True Value of a Moment

"Sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory."

This is so true. Not even from my own perspective, of which I could surely draw many memories to fit the bill, but from a memory I have of where this applied to my father. When I was married, my wife and I took my parents on a trip to New York to see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and to go see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. I knew my father was a stay-at-home guy who liked his comfort zone. However, I was amazed at how much he was afraid of being ripped off by non-English maids in the hotels. The night of going to the play he also informed us that he had never actually decided that he would go into the city to see the play; he was deathly afraid we would be mugged and left for dead. My mother had words with him (in private) and we all ended up going to see the play. I did not get a lot of reaction from my father during or after the play. Several days after arriving back home again to Indiana (great, now I have that song stuck in my head) I found out from others how much my father was bragging about the trip and the play and how wonderful and amazing the play was; describing it in detail down to the heat of the pyrotechnics on-stage because of our orchestra seats, and to the over-the-audience acrobatics with a chandelier that swung out over our heads. I really do not think he enjoyed the trip so very much at all until after he arrived back home; and then he reveled in the memory of it all.

Hm. For myself, now writing this, I did not realize the true value of being so frustrated by my father during the trip and then elated by his glowing renditions of events afterwards. The memory of it all gave me so much insight into my father and gives me such a close vibrant image of him in my head even now after he has been gone for many years. Double rainbow. 😉

Thanks +Henry Stradford II and +David Oscar de Pedro Hanych for the original post and share that I came across earlier. I had trouble reading the words as clearly on the original image so I used this instead. Kudos to both of these gentleman, though, for taking me on a trip down memory lane.

What does pepper spray really feel like?

This is what 84-year-old Seattle protester Dorli Rainey experienced. Unpleasant is a given. I wanted to find out more and found this article. Here are some quotes, but go read the whole thing. #occupy

"30 times hotter than a habanero pepper"

"we were able to close our eyes, however it does NOT help"

"OH. MY. GOSH.—Worst pain EVER, literally."

"I was having trouble breathing and the pain was just UNBELIEVABLE."

"It was hard to breathe for a while, I was just taking gulping breaths."

"My face felt like it was ON FIRE."

How to Get More Women in Tech in Under a Minute by Caroline DruckerWomen

ker

Women. Not girls. I will endeavor to never make that mistake again. This was really a good presentation to watch. It will be advice I give my daughter when she is older.

Thanks +Jessica Gottlieb and +Aliza Sherman for the post.

Reshared post from +Aliza Sherman

Provocative presentation by Caroline Drucker: "How to Get More Women in Tech in Under a Minute." I remember the mixed feelings about "Webgrrls" back in the 90s. Some women saw it as embracing a more powerful version of "girl" but others felt it was demeaning and diminishing.

Most vocal were the women in the Boston chapter who surrounded me after I presented at MIT to tell me they thought I needed to change the name and explained their own struggles to be taken seriously in tech.

What do you think of the use of "girl" to refer to a woman?

So sick of hearing about IPads and Kindles

I don't want either of them. I'm happy with my Android-based smartphone and my laptop. If I had to go to one device, I'd just have a laptop. If I'm traveling I'll have a paperback book that I can sell or give-away or loan to as many people as I want.

Honestly — and I know a bunch of you are the same — the only way I'd want a Kindle is if I were downloading the books for free.
