My cab driver from MIA and I asked her about the news reports, which were on the TVs near baggage claim.
She started laughing, and said that the lights stopped working all around her, at once, and no one knew why. There was no weather to speak of, but with the loss of power, there were three accidents on city streets in front of her within about a minute of the stop lights going out.
A few minutes later on the radio (as we drove to my hotel) the announcer said the power outage was due to a substation gone bad, and that 700k (and not millions as they reported earlier) had lost power. And, that it would be back up by 5:30pm EST.
Where we were from MIA to Coconut Grove, there was no power loss.
So the NYTimes reports on how many more girls are expressing themselves with webcode and webdesign. Great.
Then they put it in the Fashion section instead of Technology.
And the web art example of what these girls do is made by a man, instead of one of the girls in the article.
But maybe it would be hard to get one of the girls to draw up an image of a girl in a teacup, waiting to be consumed.
How sexist is this anyway? No wonder there are only 15% girls taking the national AP Computer Science exam. What a lack of support from the NYTimes for women in the field of CS.
It's just fashion to them.
