This past weekend I've been re-engaging with the DFW Python community, organizing an upcoming meeting, after about a nine-month hiatus and some people got confused, not realizing the Brad Allen and Sheila Allen are the same person. So I spent some time writing a FAQ document about my personal gender transition, expanded from the one I originally wrote for coming "out" at work.

Sheila Allen's New Personal Blog
Hi Folks,
This is my new blog.I like to share what's happening with me to friends and anyone who's curious, and I have a lot of overdue personal news (stay tuned). Since I have friends scattered around in different communities and social media sites, I thought it would be nice to put something out on the open internet where it could be linked to from G+, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and the various communities where I participate.
A blog seems to make sense for now, although I'm also kind of excited about the concept of the personal wiki as a way developing, organizing, and sharing personal notes.
Why Google Blogger?
I prefer open source tools when possible/practical, but I'm not an idealist. Maybe I'll switch later but for now this is easy and quick for me to get up and running. Also, I use a lot of Google tools and they have nice integration, and APIs with a big ecosystem of participating apps. This is not a terribly well informed decision, but I am a busy person and don't have a lot of time to research it right now. Feel free to set me straight!
