When I was a kid I wanted to be a writer, and a veterinarian, and an astronaut, and a ballet dancer.  All at once.

Now that I’m a slightly older kid I’m a rocket scientist/computer engineer and a wife and a mommy. And a writer. All at once.

This is a forum for me to tell a few stories about what it is like to be a woman and geek in Silicon Valley with two small children, a sweet and geeky husband, a dog, and a cat.  It’s a place where I’m hoping to put up some book reviews, some pictures of toys that make me laugh, some mistakes that I’m hoping I can keep somebody else from making, and some hopes about what kind of world we can create with our lives–our work and our families.
