Ada Lovelace Day - Women of PlayFirst

This is my Ada Lovelace Day post about a woman in technology I admire.

Is it cheating for it be about all the women at PlayFirst, especially those working directly in game or site development?
We're making games for women and a good number of us are women, which is a good thing.
And these in particular:
Erin, Sora, Peri, Jen, Angel, Vicki. Michelle, Maria. Also my new partners in design crime: Helen and Dana.
And Allison, Ji and any others I've forgotten.
Devin and Kristina in absentia...and the original gamegirls: Prof Carrie Heeter, Toby Levenson, and Pat Murphy.

(and not to be a brown-noser, but I do really admire Mari - especially this interview where she talks about her "a-ha" moment in tech.
When I first googled her I found this article and thought...hmmm!
We kind of had a similar a-ha moment, both at Stanford, except that hers was about computers in general and mine was on the web. Different time periods. )
