Carly a "token bimbo"?!

For a woman,it still takes a strong stomach and steely resoluteness to make it to the top. While on her way to becoming one of the most powerful executives in the US, Carly Fiorina, former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard, was once introduced as the "token bimbo," and had to endure a difficult luncheon meeting at a strip club. See story here.

LIST IN SPACE

I'm probably the last to know this (but I no longer live in the uber-hip Bay Area, where I no doubt would have heard this news waiting in line for a burrito on Haight St.), but I just learned you can send your Craigslist posting into space thanks to an eBay win by Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster. He won an auction for the first private communication transmission into deep space, and has extended this opportunity to Craigslist users, of course. The transmission is  scheduled for May 15th, 2005, to coincide with  the launch of the space shuttle Discovery.

OK- I'm psyched. My ad for an E-Z Up Shelter is going to be included in the first 10,000 ads slated to beam out in the first 24 hours! Woo hoo!

(Although I have heard from a very good source that NASA is working on technology that will facilitate the display of ads in the night sky. And according to same source, the Soviet Union already has the technology in place to put these ads in low orbit. Think Big Dipper as a backdrop for a Stoli ad-that's gotta be prime real estate, right? Now this I'm NOT PSYCHED about.  I'll try to write more about this later . . .)
