Sorry to see Kathy made that mistake. It is reversible though. On a more serious note, there ARE people who KILL and TORTURE people because of what they say on the internet. protip: They work for the Government, and they are idiots. Grow a pair and live. Or 'die' like Kathy Sierra. Death threats from random 4chan geeks should be ignored, otherwise you let some nerd rule your life. Sorry to see Kathy made that mistake. It is reversible though.

Also it's always nice to see something personal in a blog like this. Does not always have to be so technical. There is one thing I would change though. I've been working with UIs a little and the colors in this blog are horrible (yes, I know I'm being over dramatic here). Well not all but some. No offence :). I like all the colors in the world but for example light green links on white background won't work (I had some hard time reading the text, but what about color-blind people?). Also the blog "name" could be written in some other color. There could also be less text and stuff on the front page. People today are too lazy scroll pages downwards "forever" :). Or maybe it's just me, you decide. Anyway... nice blog, keep up the good work and will see me here more (or never again if you like :). Hi there,

What you and Miia call "inspiration" is something you teached other people too. Every good teacher teaches more than just the pure technical things that are the official content of their course. (Yes, I hope you will come back to *teach* us again, some day.) @Kathy

While I used to think that my highest goal was to help someone *learn* something new (in my case, technical), the last year has helped me realize that *inspiration* is even more important. So, to know that I've inspired someone is the best thing I could hear! Cheers, Kathy Thank-you so much for this post, Miia.
