    • Internet Baby Steps, and Eve Astrid Andersson

    • I didn't own a computer in college, so my freshman year I hunkered in the labs for hours messing around on IRC and reading personal websites.

      There were far fewer women with sites then, and I was excited to find Eve Astrid Andersson. (I can't believe I still remember her name.) Anyway, she had this little dancing gif of her as an alien, she was green and lightening bolts shot out of her antennae. She's pretty much the reason I learned HTML.

      And here she is now! Whoa. Hi, Eve. Good to see you again.

    I think she was at Berkeley when I was reading her. She works at Google now, and used to work in Analytics. We're probably one degree of separation from her on multiple counts.

    I believe she was in some improv courses I took at Google. Bizarro (not her – the connection).
