How Internet Censorship will Affect Us if SOPA Passes [infographic]

You’re hearing all about the “American Internet Censorship Bill” or “SOPA” lately, but you really need a quick way to discern if these concerns are valid. We have included this infographic on how SOPA – the Stop Online Piracy Act (H.R. 3261) and the Senate’s PROTECT IP Act (S. 968) works. In trying to protect the hard work of everyone’s piracy and theft of IP, the Government is just going a bit too far. And since Hollywood outspends Silicon Valley on lobbyists by 10x, you can see why this will probably pass. This is a content issue, and no one….

Meet the Educational Scholarship Partner for Boot Camp Cape Cod, ABWA Cape Cod

At each Boot Camp, we partner with a local women’s group in that region to not only assist us in running the Boot Camp, but because of their involvement, we try to donate a portion of the proceeds to their educational scholarship fund which helps women take classes, workshops, attend conferences and go to college. Last year at Boot Camp Cape Cod 2009, we were able to donate a $1,500 check to them, and this year we are hoping to break that record, and see if we can give some other organizations some help.

I became a Geek Girl in 2008 when I attended the first Geek Girl Camp in Hyannis.  A good friend of mine, who is a web designer, suggested I attend the Cape Cod Boot Camp.   I had never known such a thing existed!  As I waited in line, I noticed young and young at heart chatting and exchanging pleasantries.  I immediately felt a sense of ease.  We all know that walking into a seminar surrounded by a….

What I Learned from the Mass Conference for Women Yesterday

Geek Girl Camp had the most fortunate opportunity to be a supporting organization of the Massachusetts Conference for Women and we were able to provide a Technology Help Desk for all the attendees to ask questions on computer, Internet and web-related questions. It was a great experience, and we cannot thank them enough for allowing us to partner with them on what is their crowning achievement of the year. In sitting at our busy, bustling booth yesterday, I had a little time to reflect on a few things with Geek Girl Camp throughout the past year since we started and….
