So here I am blogging like a “pro” and three months ago all I had ever done was read other peoples blogs.  I am feeling rather accomplished at all the technical skills I have learned this quarter in Gender and Technology. I find it exciting to know the difference between a post and a page. […]

I know it might be a little late, but I like the motto ” better late than never.”  So I added an RSS feed to my blog today.  I can see current technology news and hopefully will receive some extra credit points. It feels like I’ve accomplished something more in my WGSS 320 Gender and […]

A list of my greatest dreams: Retire by age 67+ Travel the globe Promote world peace, maybe with activism to help establish the U.S. Department of Peace or policy to ignite the United States Institute of Peace Build my cottage at the coast – has to have a porch, big area for sewing projects, be […]

This new post will address whether the subject of my Gender Lens Project warrants further activism.  I chose the urinalysis test strip for my subject.  My research has found that it is a gender neutral medical product, so I do not believe further activism on that front is necessary. Marketing is not an issue with […]

As I continue to research for my Cultural Research Project, I’ve found all kinds of sources for my project. I’ve even found how easy it is to find something once, and then not be able to find that same source again. But fortunately, librarians are there to help. One source of information I found on […]

My Cultural Research Project will be about: Who is she? Valerie Thomas Where is she from and how does her culture differ from yours? She was born in Maryland and is an African-American. What is her technology? Her technology is the invention of a patented illusion transmitter. When did she live? She was born in […]

My initial ideas about this topic for my blog and writing about it are: 1.  It took me a while to figure out how to even get to my blog spot and login, I am learning. 2.  I have now learned to add a new post.  I did also read about settings.  Now I need […]

A recap of my writing a new post so far, at least I’m in the right spot. The email signature was not too tough, but then I have already had experience with Google mail at work, so just another way to practice for the school email account. I do like listening to web pages with my computer’s […]
