I grew up on a family potato farm in SE Idaho and I have a PhD in Engineering from Stanford (also known as The Farm). Additionally, in Colorado and elsewhere, there is a shortage of students entering STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. So I feel I have pretty good mix of horse sense and formal education.

I used this free service called XML-Sitemaps to create site maps for Google, Yahoo and MSN (naturally the standards vary) and overnight I saw a jump in natural search traffic.

March 2005 (This essay is derived from a talk at the Harvard ComputerSociety.) You make elaborate plans for a product, hire a team of engineers to develop it (people who do this tend to use the term "engineer" for hackers), and then find after a year that youve spent two milliondollars to develop something no one wants.

I am the VP of Engineering at a cutting-edge startup that sells software built on the.NET platform. You whine about how hard it is to find good engineers, then go on and on about how you intentionally avoid at least half of the market for skilled people? It’s also missing the point of engineering anything. Elaine Kenny.
