The visiting speakers today are Jane Margolis and Allan Fisher, who wrote the book "Unlocking the Clubhouse: Women in Computing". They are also in charge of the Carnegie Mellon Project on Gender and Computer Science.  My notes from the talk are here.

The register has a great article about the damages loss due to computer virus... Some juicy quotes:

"The cost attributed to a few specific computer viruses in the last two years eclipses the entire military budget of the "Axis of Evil" and has been more expensive to the nation than the Afghan war."

"The Symantec quote of $100 billion in virus damages exceeds by three times the amount of money the U.S. government annoyingly spends on medical research."

I biked from Redmond to Klahanie in Sammamish and back. It was a good and painful 30 miles. While in the Klahanie neighborhood I got to see the little lake, and checked out the house I was interested in. Proving the small world nature of the area, the folks I talked to in the neighborhood had a mutual acquaintance. The worse part of the trip was the ride up the hill on Sahalee Way from 202. For the way back, we took East Lake Sammamish Pkwy NE.
