Dongle Joke Offends Girl





Adria Richards, "Technology evangelist" and empowered woman, was offended while eavesdropping at a technology conference. A man seated behind her made a private joke to his friend about a "dongle". Adria immediately took his picture (without consent) and sent the picture to Twitter (see below). The man was later fired for offending the tender and delicate sensibilities of Miss Richards.

Here is the unathorized pic she took of the man who made a "dongle" joke to his friend.

Here is a vid of Miss Richards. Miss Richards is a "technology evangelist". Mostly that seems to consist of bitching that there are too many men in technology.

    A bigger question is what kind of a company fires a person for such a thing. They're the ones who deserve the real ridicule.

Violence In Chicago

President Obama was disappointed that the Olympic Committee decided not to choose Chicago as the venue for the 2016 Olympics. As President Obama was formerly a successful “community organizer” in Chicago, this defeat must have been especially disappointing. Part of the reason that Chicago may not have been selected is due to how Violence has stricken much of the city. Just a couple of days ago a Chicago student videotaped a murder of an honor student. http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0929/p02s01-usgn.html (As a side note, it seems to be especially dangers to be a Black honor student. In the stories linked below, all the victims happened to be honor students.) http://www.smmirror.com/volume3/issue23/samohi_honor_student.asp http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/article?f=/c/a/2005/09/27/BAG4OEUD661.DTL http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-79459073.html http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2009/01/26/2009-01-26_progun_senatordesignate_gillibrand_shoul.html Link to raw video: http://www.myfox
