A History of Women in 100 Objects by Maggie Andrews, 2018

The history of the world has been told in objects. But what about the objects that tell the history of women? What are the items that symbolise the journey of women from second-class citizens with no legal rights, no vote and no official status to the powerful people they are today? And what are the objects that still oppress women, even now?




From the corset to the contraceptive pill, the bones of the first woman to Rosa Parks's mugshot and the iconic Mary Quant cape, A History of Women in 100 Objects documents the developing role of women in society through the lens of the inanimate objects that touched women's lives, were created by women or that at some time – perhaps even still – oppressed them. Woven by two leading historians, this complex, fascinating and vital tale of women and womanhood is told with a lightness of touch and depth of experience that will appeal to all those interested in women's history.

The first time I saw google glasses in person was at a hacker con, where the dweeb wearing them was trying to show off and be important.

I used my theatre projection skills to speak "OK Google: goatse dot cx" and the guy whipped them off his face instantly and did not wear them again for the rest of the con.

If you need a quick lesson in humility, I suggest trying to swing a 32 kg when you’re used to a 20 kg one.

I bought two 12-32 kg modular kettlebells because I thought they’d make a worthy investment for more advanced training.

And I was absolutely right. It will clearly take me years before being able to swing that confidently.

I also bought a mace because I was feeling adventurous… And oddly enough, it’s maybe the most relaxing, meditative kind of I’ve tried so far.

Windowsの使用感とかいきなり聞かれたけど、
非常に不満以外の選択肢無いよね。
エクスプローラを返せ。BitLockerを中途半端に適用するな。
OneDrive押し付けるな。実名表示を強いるな。
実名表示を強いるくせに姓名逆順表示してくるのマジで腹立つ。
:reeEEE:

Před pár lety jsem si na Twitteru stěžoval, jaké nesmysly se učí na českém gymnáziu v hodinách informatiky (rozdíl mezi midi a mini tower, kapacitu CD a jejich výrobce apod.). Stěoval jsem si i v té škole.

Teď dcera potřebovala vysvětlit, jaké výhody a nevýhody mají diskety, co je to CRT monitor a tak.

Zato v té kapitole o hardware nebyla ani zmínka o mobilech, touchscreenech nebo dokonce ani o internetovém připojení.

Česko je fakt skanzen.
