1. gwangi leaves for basic in two months.

2. I am obsessing about sorbets. I really want to make some right now but I need rock salt and ice.

3. Someday I want an ice maker.

4. We are hiring a couple new programmers at work and it is odd to me that none of the people they are interviewing are female. Are their really that few female programmers out there?

5. Today I plan on working the new site because I can.

6. I need to vacuum my house. Poor Zach's allergies are in kicking in and the cat hair isn't helping.

7. This weekend we are going to Austin for a family golf tournament. I am not playing golf but rather I am going to eat food and introduce Zach to more of my family. I have a very large family.

8. I need more cloth menstrual pads but I don't want to order then online. Does anyone know where I can get them locally?

9. I have decided that it is time for me to actually start going to the gym again. I am going to start with twice a week. I think Wednesdays and one day on the weekend. I should be able to handle that.

10. I am feeling really chubby today. I don't think I am really, I just feel like I am.

The answer to #4 is, yes, female programmers ARE that rare - at least in the US. Their numbers are higher overseas (something like 11% of programmers in India and close to 40% in Iran are female). Europe as a whole also has more female representation in computer science as a whole.

It is jsut so weird. I have never worked with another female programmer. It is so weird to me. I am sure it is bound to happen at some point but it is just weird that we don't even get people to interview that are female.
