Finding inspiration through Ada

There are already well over ONE THOUSAND Ada Lovelace Day posts listed at http://ada.pint.org.uk/; I obviously haven’t read all of them, but I’ve popped into several dozen.

I’ve been so moved by so many people’s that I wanted to highlight a few that really touched me here. I did not, by any measure, read everyone’s, but these are just a few that I appreciated, whether they were well-written, moving, taught me something, or were just about really cool ladies.

    Thanks, I’m glad you liked my Ada Lovelace post. I found it really hard to pick one woman to write about, but Molly has consistently influenced my career, so it made sense to me.
    It was definitely a great idea and I look forward to Ada Lovelace day next year too.
