Monday mornin, it was all I hoped it would be (#femedtech)
A girl smiled at me at the crossing this morning and said hello. She’d seen me a few times going in and out of Argyle House and she’d wanted to speak to me. Last year she came to the Girl Geeks Scotland Leadership event that … Continue reading Monday mornin, it was all I hoped it would be (#femedtech)
Pockets make me cross
Walking up the stairs at work today, carrying my large shoulder-bag, a friend was telling me he thought of me yesterday as he dressed his baby son in dungarees with *7 functional pockets*. This baby can just about master getting it’s hand in it’s own … Continue reading Pockets make me cross
