Ross 2, Cynics 0
Posted by Liz Lawley
Back in May, I made
a side bet with Ross that when
his bet with Clay concluded, fewer than 10% of the people in the first 500 under "Internet" would be women.
Well,
Ross won his bet with Clay. And it turns out he won the bet with me, as well. When I counted today, 58 of the first 500 people were women. As I suspected, fewer toward the top than the bottom of that range. Only 6 in the first 100, and 9 more in the second 100.
I don't know that there's much to rejoice about in those numbers, but I'm still glad to have lost the bet.

Hey, I really like this blog but am having a difficult time reading it because the content is obscured by the blue sidebar. If you could just add something like:
#search{width: 150px;}
To your css so I can read it, it would greatly be appreciated. I further explained (and show photos of) my problem here: http://gtmcknight.com/log/archives/2003/09/21/what_is_going_on.php
Permalink to CommentI know it seems like I'm the only person experiencing this, but as it is a simple fix, I hoped you wouldn't mind. Thank you
