Happy International Women's Day! As women in tech, Holly and I toasted each other with great coffee -- and all of you other techno babes. We are hailing from Portland where we have a brandnew office (see photos from the trusty Macbook Pro of our view!). We are getting pings from all over the country from our women colleagues in tech - Usha, Beth, Joyce, Michelle -- saluting you all in the NTEN community! Special greetings to our board chair (yep, an extraordinary woman) Lynn Labieniec from Beaconfire.

Around the world, International Women's Day (IWD) marks a celebration of the economic, social, cultural and political achievements for women.

Go ahead, and put the final touches on your entries for the NTC Video Contest! All submissions are due by midnight on Sunday, March 11.
