Kim did you mean to post this to the IxDA list? The discussion was
only on IAI members list. I think that might have been a mistake to
cross-post this.

I gave this to the ultimate arbitor - my wife who actually pretty much hates
technology including her MacBook.

To quote her:

I really like it.  Simple, clear and good information.. uncluttered, etc.
 I have subscribed now.

Will, et al. -- I think you'll find that fembot dates waaay back to  
the Six Million Dollar Man, not Blade Runner. And I won't say how old  
that makes me.


As for the website, I'm not buying it. I associated fem with  
empowerment, not  fashion. If the site is supposed to be geared toward  
women in technology why does it have a chick-lit style illustration of  
a girl with shopping bags and a cell phone? My immediate take is:  
patronizing  off-target. Also, calling oneself a goddess or diva  
does not make that so.


But then, I am s old.
