WHAT I HATE TODAY: Your daily dose of negative energy (Opposite Edition!)
Today I love Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace -- the first computer programmer. Did you know that the first computer programmer was a woman? Today is Ada Lovelace Day, when I and 1,620 other people have pledged to blog about the achievements of this brilliant scientist, or at least to link to her Wikipedia page. While you're there, why not also read about Marie Curie, Grace Hopper, and Barbara McClintock? Then, go make your daughter do some algebra problems.

Yeah for girl geeks! And I love the Opposite Edition of WIHT too! I would like to hear more about the things you love. Don't underestimate the power of positive thinking...
