Women, Tech, and Everything Else

Gayle Laakmann

After three internships at Microsoft, one internship at Apple, and three years at Google, Gayle Laakmann decided that she'd spent enough time at the biggies. She left Google with best wishes to her co-workers and went out to explore the world. She spent six weeks in Argentina and three weeks in Asia. Gayle is now back in Seattle exploring the startup scene.

Projects & Activities

Gayle Laakmann spends her time working on CareerCup and Seattle Anti-Freeze. CareerCup is a source for technical interviews, job postings, interview training, and more. Seattle Anti-Freeze is a company Gayle founded a year ago that organizes parties and other events for people in their 20s and 30s.

In Honor of the VP Debates...

Brought to you by Google's 2001 search index, a quick comparison to show just how new to the scene Sarah Palin is:

John McCain: 158,000 hits in 2001
Joe Biden: 3,240 hits in 2001
Barack Obama: 671 hits in 2001
Sarah Palin: 0 hits in 2001.

Despite being mayor of a small town, the internet had not even heard of her in 2001. I'm not sure if that says more about Palin or Google...

    Without trying to make any sense of it, but if you search for Wasilla Palin, you get at least three hits on the first page containing the string "Mayor Sarah Palin"...

    Huh?
