OK, she's cute, on several levels. I don't know what was more surprising, that she is a geek with style or an American with same.

But the talking so fast that it's dazzling? Phleaaaaaaase. Since Xerox Parc, the trick is public domain: use twice as many words to say the same thing. Easy with practice. And a tad boring.

Still, a cool motivating story. Back to hacking!

Offhand comments like that are annoying on several different levels.


Wait right there, american girls have no style. This is true!


I listened to a talk she gave at Stanford and she did speak very quickly but without the "saying twice as words". She conveyed her ideas twice as quickly and got more said.

Of course, her laugh was so annoying I almost shut off the podcast even though it was interesting.
