This past week two very different aspects of my work got picked up by the national press. The first was my early work on women in computing, which was featured in an article in the Wall Street Journal entitled The First Women in Tech Didn’t Leave—Men Pushed Them Out. The second was my more recent interest in computing and the environment. I helped Matt Kessler from the Atlantic, in a fascinating piece on The Environmental Cost of Internet Porn, run some estimates on the electricity costs associated with online streaming video.
