My apologies. It just didn't cross my mind to post about the Women in Development podcast when it first came out. I had a lot in my plate right after the conference. I was mostly trying to catch up with tasks at work since I'm acting as Lead Developer at PWIM for the time being.

Anyhow, in these podcasts you will hear the views of women on the absence decline of women in development and absence during conferences. Desi shares her vision and goals about where she wants devChix to be. devChix is a collective group of women with backgrounds in Computer Science and Computing. It was so immensely uplifting to be in the company of such great women that day. I enjoyed participating in the discussion. I was more nervous than anything else during the entire podcast session. Mind you, I was sitting two feet away from Geoffrey Grosenbach. Cool, right?

After hearing the podcast again, I think it's time to live up to my nickname "multi-talented". Oh the pressure mounts!

    At first I thought you were the talkative one in the beginning of the podcast, then everyone got to introduce themselves, and a Pinay voice came on, which was you. Reprazent! Mabuhay...

    Hi Daniel, I'm glad to represent. I am really talkative too once I've settled down with the group. The usual persona. The guys and girls I've had the pleasure to hang out with during RailsConf can attest to my being talkative and truly zany side. :)
