Comment Re:Women don't want to do CS? (Score 1) 1563

The reason CS used to be more popular with women WAS for sexist reasons. Back in the 80s when no one really know what computer science was, people just thought "Computers? Computers=typing=women's work", and thus there were many women entering CS. Since then the true nature of CS as a harder science has emerged, and thus the levels of women have fallen to the levels of other hard sciences.

Journal Journal: Rain

So I went to go work on a video editing project for a film class and it was raining...hard. I walked about a half mile there, only to discover the place was closed. It turns out someone had called me right before I left to tell me it closed, but the rain blocked my cell phone reception. So I walked back a half mile. I decided to take a shortcut and it was flooded with 8 inches of water. My new converse all stars are feeling the pain.
