I can has hate mail!

Holy crap! One of my editors got mail from a reader condemning them for running technical articles written by a dyke. No, really. And threatening to boycott the magazine on that basis. Yay, economic freeze-out hitting home! (Don't worry, he's the type to tell them to DIAF.) But - OMG I'm, um, famous? Yeah! Famous!

I'll mention this in my next CWU, too. @whee! Sadly, I can't print the letter. But damn, I want to. Also, I find it hysterically funny that of all the things I do, writing about computers is what draws t3h hate. YAY


A Strange Relationship


I went down to the new Seattle Art Museum building, finally, and wandered around with [livejournal.com profile] spazzkat, who has already been there a few times. It's a much larger museum now, and has some spaces which are really quite cleverly built. The most amusing part were some of the windows on the top floor, which had these shades on them which made yesterday - a brutally hot, very sunny day - look, seen through them, like a dry Seattle winter day, cloudy and cool. I don't really know how they did that. I'm not used to seeing relights in exhibition areas under any circumstances, so I was surprised to see them here. Then we walked up to B&O and had birthday dinner with [livejournal.com profile] jessicac (and a bunch of other people, but it was her birthday), where we accidentally ran into [livejournal.com profile] cow, who sat at another table with a friend. They were both TXTing at the same time, so I decided it was at each other, so I got out my cell and TXTed over "geeks." At which point [livejournal.com profile] cow came over and unexpectedly did not hit me with a spork.

Though sad in a way, it is indeed kind of hilarious. Also puzzling. Maybe he's afraid reading your technical articles will make him catch teh ghay?

Right, OK. And yeah, I do think sockpuppetry now that you mention it. Possibly it was even written by the husband.

Congrats, you've made it. :)

Kind of curious, but why did you mention your sexuality in a technical article? (I'm assuming you did, rather than them somehow looking you up on the internet or something...?)

Ohhh, I see. Not exactly in-their-face, that...
