Limor Fried is cool
I’ve been loving the DIY Media panel at SXSW — I’ve just seen Limor Fried speak, and she is rocking my world. Go check out the amazing things she makes. She does open source hardware and really cool stuff.
For all the women blogger movements and panels and such I see (and I do appreciate: I think Jory DesJardins rocks, and I loved interviewing her), I have to say, I’d really rather see a really smart woman engineer speak about the brilliant work she’s doing — and not have to talk about whether or not women play a role in the field. She’s here, representing just by being here and doing her work.
Reminds me of one of the best things I ever learned in school, “Show, don’t tell.”
