All Horse

So Dori is looking for just one tech-savvy woman to speak at Macworld Expo 06:

I’ve exchanged lots of emails and chats with incredibly smart, savvy women, all of whom say the exact same thing: ‘No, I’m not smart enough/tech enough/good enough to do that. You should talk to so-and-so!’ And then I talk to so-and-so, and she tells me the same damn thing.

I bet she does. This is at once what makes women so charming and so own-best-enemy. I could tell you that this, right here, is but one facet of that which allows at least one of the genders to set aside their own welfare for a minute and sit on the damn nest. We won’t even get into the decision-making in the moment that makes up the days of those women who are mothers—or the number of baby men who take advantage of that fact. (You know my hope. You know my theory: the baby men are dying out. Going by my own son, anyway, I’d say its a damn good theory.)

I find it kinda refreshing, in this online world, in which the Buzzbrains—you know, all hat, no horse—appear to rule. Of course they don’t. They don’t rule anywhere. They too busy competing on, er, hat size.
