Oh, blogs!

I read earlier today that women are being held back in the technologies. Must be, cause it took me til last month to really discover blogs. When I decided to create my own blog last month, I apparently forgot to read up on the rules of posting anonymously. Since then, while posting clues that might reveal my identity (gasp!), I have read the blogs of many other women scientists (like that of ScienceWoman). Noticing that ScienceWoman and other seemingly successful (they have jobs) (yes I do love parentheses) bloggers are careful to conceal their identities, I decided to scrap my old blog for this one. No one was reading it anyway!
I looked over Statgirls blog and noticed she didn't get any comments til she'd been at it for 2 months. I feel better. I know, I know, I shouldn't be doing something like this for recognition. Blogs have such utility in other arenas - like honing one's writing skills, serving as a diary or an outlet for frustration and procrastination.
Anyhow, back to where I started. I realized that no one but my husband would recognize me under the name "Snakechaser" and he definitely does NOT blog. Wouldn't deem it worthy of his time. Ha! and I just had to minimize the window (twice!) when he walked into my office!
