Introduction: Stop talking, start coding Posted: April 18, 2010 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog | 65 Comments » I read Out of the Loop in Silicon Valley in the NYTimes today, which explores how and why women are under-repesented in tech startups. From the number of retweets I saw and the clicks through bit.ly links (12,579 at the time of this posting), it’s been getting a lot of attention. There are some very strong, compelling themes in this article. Computer science and engineering to have an “image problem”; the way we teach math to elementary school students is horrible and turns way too many away. I don’t want to nitpick the article, but there are a few statements that reinforce the very damaging stereotypes that the article sets out to dispel. “When women take on the challenges of an engineering or computer science education in college, some studies suggest that they struggle against a distinct set of personal, psycho-social issues… Even women who soldier

Introduction: Speaking: Title Slides + Twitter = You Win Posted: March 8, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: speaking | Tags: slides , speaking , title , twitter | 2 Comments » Your title slide should focus on the title of the talk. It should also include your name and affiliation, your logo if you have a cute one, possibly your blog or e-mail address if you want people to get in touch, and your twitter handle. Here’s one of mine: I usually mention that the beginning of the talk that if people have questions they can tweet them at me. This isn’t just because Twitter is a great way to get questions from people too shy to speak up (or who don’t get an opportunity). Here’s the hack: letting people know that you’ll be reading everything they say about your talk on Twitter makes them more likely to say nice things. Further, in a multi-track conference, people who weren’t actually in your talk (or were there but not paying a lot of attention) will judge your

Introduction: Speaking: Two Questions to Ask Before You Give a Talk Posted: November 22, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: speaking | Tags: questions , speaking | 6 Comments » If you’ve had a talk proposal accepted or been invited to speak at an event, you’ll usually get a chance to chat with the organizers before you show up to give your talk. While you probably have a good idea of the topic of your talk (if you don’t, that’s a post for another day!), event organizers can be invaluable in helping you frame a talk that will succeed with their audience. They are on your side and they want you to do great, or they wouldn’t be hosting you at their event. These are two questions that I always ask the organizers before I speak. Question 1: Who will be in the audience? Knowing the basic demographics of the audience is necessary to make sure you’re speaking at the right level and tuning the cultural references and humor for the room. I often speak to audiences o

Introduction: Data: first and last names from the US Census Posted: October 16, 2009 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog | Tags: data , dataset , mysql , sql | 1 Comment » I’ve found myself in need of a name distribution for a few projects recently, so I thought I would post it here so I won’t have to go looking for it again. The data is available from the US Census Bureau (from 1990 census) here , and I have it here in a friendly MySQL *.sql format (it will create the tables and insert the data). There are three tables: male first names, female first names, and surnames. I’ve noted several issues in the data that are likely the result of typos, so make sure to do your own validation if your application requires it. The format is simple: the name frequency (percentage of people in the sampled population with that name) cumulative frequency (as you read down the list, the percentage of total population covered) rank If you want to use this to generate

Introduction: One Random Tweet, please. Posted: February 18, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: projects | 4 Comments » One random tweet. It’s easy to believe that other people use social networks in the same way that you do. Your friends largely do use them the same way, which gives us an even more biased perspective. Unfortunately, most networks don’t provide a way to explore representative communications that you’re not connected to. Well, now you can! One random tweet , please. Update: There were some slight technical difficulties due to hitting Twitter’s oembed rate limit. They should be repaired now. (Note: between this and bookbookgoose.com I’m on a bit of a random kick lately. There’s a method to this madness!)

Introduction: What do you read that changes the way you think? Posted: August 21, 2011 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: books , philosophy , reading | 24 Comments » A friend asked me which of three startup business books she should read. Obama’s reading list since entering office has nothing surprising on it. The most valuable books I read this year have been stories of things very different from what I spend most of my time thinking about. One of my favorites was China Meiville’s The City & The City , which I loved for the ambition and artistry, and another was Simon Winchester’s The Meaning of Everything: The Story of the Oxford English Dictionary , which I loved for the descriptions of creating an analog, scalable information system. What have you read recently that was really great? Edit: Thanks for the recommendations! There are also a bunch over on Google Plus .
