This weekend I participated in Hack 'n Jill, a hackathon in New York City with a slight twist - 50 Girls, 50 Guys, 8 Hours. This particular hackathon was unlike some of the others I've participated in, not only because of the gender balance. I have worked on teams with an even male/female ratio before.

This was not the case.
For years I've been sticking my head outside of the driver's window on various cars that I drive, hoping to reach for a glimpse of the fuel tank door. However, when doing so this past weekend, a friend of mine said to me "Why don't you just look at your fuel symbol?"....
