Slightly less meep

Hal seems to be getting over whatever it was he's picked up.  Still keeping him off at least another day.  When that boy leaves chips on his plate he's definately still not right.

Jodie OTOH has started to come out with garbage like "being clever is for boys".  I think a copy of something in the line of 'lives of the great women of science' or 'great women in history' is in order.  Any suggestions?

"Then you'd better learn how to out-think them, hadn't you?"

One example - the pretty pictures and graphics and icons that all the computers use nowadays were all based on the Macintosh interface, and all designed by one woman. When Microsoft wanted to copy them they hired the same designer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_kare (Jordin's sister)

That's something I never knew. Thanks for that, it's the sort of thing that may get through to her since she uses the Mac for online games (mostly the CBBC site).
