Girl Engineers & iCandy Release
6.27.2007 ||
I volunteered this morning at an Engineering Girls Camp for 7th graders. Out of all the groups, there was a small little Viet girl who reminded me of myself when I was younger. I basically helped the girls attach tails to their model airplanes so that we can fly them later this week. It's supposed to help interest girls in engineering and technology so that in the future, there will be more women in the field. Out of my department of 12, I am one of two women. Plus I'm Asian, so I'm a minority all over since everyone else in my department is Caucasian. Sooo if you like taking things apart and putting them back together or are good at math/science/physics/problem solving... be an engineer like me!! We're the cool nerds.
Anyway, all the other little girls randomly placed mismatched stickers all over their planes with no theme. But that one little Viet girl meticulously designed a mural on the sides of her plane so all the other little girls Ooohed and Ahhed. Definitely a mini-me, although she is much cuter than I ever was and she's pretty badass with the glue gun.
Hehe, enough. I get to help them fly their planes later!!! I'm excited! I love working with kids. Anyway... aside from my busy schedule, I finally FINISHED MY PICTURES SITE!!!!

I still have to add some skins so that people who dislike pink can choose something else. But there you have it. EVERY picture (almost) that I've taken since I first got a digital camera can be found there with a brief (rarely updated) blog of some randomness. There is a calendar style designed in html/php and there is a script style that you can get to here:

Both designs are REALLY simple. I wanted to let the pictures speak for themselves, so I didn't focus too much on graphics. I am the documenter out of all my friends, meaning I am a camera whore and I make them pose and freeze for the lens. My Fujifilm Z5 goes everywhere with me and it will follow me camping this weekend! Let me know what you think of the sites!
