International Women's Day 2013
What a great way to wrap up a week. There has been so much going on this week about women and girls in technology. Great work and passion by so many people - female or male.

Sharing the Knowledge
I have the pleasure of mentoring a talented group of high school students. They are the soul of Team 2102 Paradox of San Dieguito Academy. They are creative, curious, humble, dedicated, and caring. They strive to embody "Gracious Professionalism", a term used by FIRST Robotics that is a parallel to the "Golden Rule" learned in childhood.
Using Senses to Guide Yourself Through the Fog
My mom has Alzheimer's. Sometimes I wonder what she sees and thinks about her world. She only has about four phrases that she uses now. It is heartbreaking for me to no longer be seen and recognized by her. Yet, she smiles, hums to music, snuggles her blanket, and enjoys her orange chicken as if all is okay in her world.
