Thanks for pointing out this awesome fact! Though actually it's: "There are as many speakers named Brian (including one Bryan) as there are women speakers". This was just based on my ability to identify women speakers by looking through the list. I may have missed one or two with non-obvious names.
UGH! It's bad enough that this is the case, but then you then you get something like this: http://weblogs.asp.net/rchartier/archive/2004/04/25/119955.aspx
Hey!!! Leave us Brians alone!!! It's not our fault!
LOL, sorry Brian :) Maybe I'll go through and count the "Dave"s instead :) Marcie
Unfortunately that doesn't surprise me one bit. I'm not only the only woman on my team, but the only one on my *floor*. It feels really isolating, and every so often it gets to me in a big way. Mixed environments are so much more fun.
Are you even remotely serious?
