Female Writers in Late Night by the Numbers
statette:
NOTES:
1) The host doubles as a writer on each of these shows but we did not include them in the counts. 2) Although Jimmy Kimmel only has one female writer, she is a co-head writer. None of the other shows hosted by men have female head writers. 3) Craig Ferguson’s only female writer is his sister.

What I Learned In Joplin
thedeadline:
I’m going to write this in a stream of consciousness, the same way I experienced Joplin.

As some of you know we got banned from Google+ due to some of our content. What we didn’t know at the time is that we were just one of a handfull of Anonymous accounts that was silenced. This is the sad fact of what happens across the internet when you walk to a different beat of the drum….

Video: What is Mozilla?
brettgaylor:
I’ve been working on and off for many months on a video to explain Mozilla to the uninitiated. The home for the video is now on the Get Involved page of the mozilla.org site, and I’m excited that it will be part of a process for getting people excited about pitching in at Mozilla.
