The iOS 27 Features Nobody’s Talking About (But Every Woman Should Know)
Every year, Apple holds its Worldwide Developers Conference and every year, the tech press descends like a flock of extremely caffeinated seagulls to tell you about the thing that is going to change everything. This year it was Siri AI. The glowing orb. The rebuilt assistant that is “profoundly more capable and personal.” Those are…

Houston, We Have a Problem — I Said Yes to a Space Startup
A few weeks ago I told you the quiet part out loud. I told you about the layoff, the health insurance panic, the identity crisis that nobody warns you about, and the very specific terror of being a woman over 50 in tech who suddenly has to prove she still exists. I told you about…

Let me set the scene for you. I have an L-shaped desk the size of a small aircraft carrier. Two large monitors. A 45-inch primary display connected to my MacBook Pro. A 34-inch LG on the left. Two Bluetooth keyboards. Two Magic Trackpads. An iPad Pro docked and ready. Cables everywhere. Dongles multiplying like rabbits…

OK, Fine! I Have a Crush on Claude and I’m Not Sorry About it.
Last week I had to publicly warn Reese Witherspoon to stay away from my new (AI) boyfriend. And she completely ignored me. Honestly? I get it.

Help! Reese Witherspoon is Trying to Steal My New Boyfriend!
Let me stop you right there, Reese. I love you and love your work. If Legally Blonde had been set in an Apple Store, It’d be my life story. But when you showed up on my feed announcing that you were going to teach women about AI – I need you to understand something important……
