I blogged for a while and was never accepted by the “community”, until I ran for the Blog awards and almost won. ChrisM from iMod openly admitting that he thought I would beat him was just the cred that I needed to finally be accepted.

A Sunday Times article and 3880 Tweets later, I consider myself to be part of a family now. :)

There are not too many out there who are prepared to dedicated their time, resources and money to making ‘the internet’ a better place – and even fewer female geeks who are making a difference. So, yes, thanks – and respect – from me too ;)

Keep going, onwards and upwards. And remember, the people who do things in life are the ones who are awake doing; and you (and Justin and Eve)) did an awesome thing making the retreat happen.

PS. TED link needs an edit ;-)
