gender and technology?

yo, yo, yo MARIA!
Currently, I am writing an essay on gender and technology (i.e. how hot pink phones are being marketed to women, etc), and one of the resources is the Gender Analyzer and... "It uses Artificial Intelligence to determine if a homepage is written by a man or woman."

so, I obviously inserted our blog in to see the outcome and turns out we are 52% female but overall gender neutral. I thought this was interesting how you could distinguish gender through this site....strange, interesting, stereotypical?
your thoughts?

anywayssssssss, check out this blog Lady Geek, it not only shows some fun technology, but also brings up some interesting points.
check-check-check it out

MARIA:

new show to check out Party Down it stars Adam Scott, Will Ferrell's douche brother from StepBrothers, AND Martin Starr a.k.a. Bill Haverchuck from Freaks and Geeks, if that has not yet convinced you to watch it yet then guess who is a writer on it?
PAUL RUDD, who I have loved ever since Clueless when he stole my heart.



check out the first episode on ninja!
love ya,
rom

i need to travel the world

maria, maria,
despite my love of snow I have decided I need to travel the world soon!
also, I highly enjoyed that trailer and because of the dancing and affects I believe it will not be some shitty sweet november-like movie. I love the song in it, I have already downloaded it and believe you should to it is called 'sweet disposition' by the temper trap, an aussie band.
please watch this genius advertising for the film he's just not that into you


oh, the hilarity ensues. also we need to start writing a script
this gangsta is out.
peace.
love.
and all the best.
romina.
cortellucci.


also remember bitches ain't shit

dear romina,




sooo is this going to be an updated version of sweet november? hope not. joseph gordon-levitt or however you spell his name, is better then that. he seems to have quite a discerning eye for picking and choosing films, so fingers crossed this isn't lame.

sincerely,

maria cortell-ucci


ps. also how could i forget, THE INAUGURATION!!! obama is so dreamy. especially when compared to the bloated rick warren. i am going for celebratory drinks after work with my republican-leaning friends. what a fun, sexy time for me.
