How awesome is that. Glad you escaped the coup d'etat intact so we could enjoy your insights 'round these parts. You and J could get your own spinoff blog--or TV series! You guys have the wit and looks to pull it off. Possible names: "Jesus, Addy!"... or "Addy Boy, Jesus!"... or "The Diaz and Nights of Addy D"... you choose.

What if she has more questionable To-Do's on her agenda, like
-Kill Adam Frucci
-Put tighter pants on BLAM
-BAN KAISER-MACHEAD
NO!!!

And all this time, I thought Addy Dugdale was a pseudonym for a faceless, prefers-to-remain-anonymous, but intelligent writer for my favorite tech blogs.
Congrats and sincere best wishes!

Would you like to have some chocolate Adelaide? I have chocolate right here in my car. Just get in, nobody will tell Jesus...
Ok, that's creepy. Nice job Addy.

@Git Em SteveDave: Whenever I find out smart, talented, and attractive women have taken men other than myself, it bums me out.

"'ADELAIDE! Seeeeecrets' segment soon."
...in the vein of "SHATNER! Seeeeecrets" ?
(or any of the other 17 variations of the Conan O'Brien sketch?)

Hey! I'm single. ...
Oh wait. You said "smart".....
...and "attractive".
...and "talented".
Yeah well, I'm complicated anyway..(some people call it "psycho")

Congratulations! Nice interview!
@DeCerbo: Lots of women keep their maiden names for professional reasons. It's a reputation / name recognition thing. You see it a lot with actresses, writers, anybody who freelances for a living, etc.

@cosmoath: "Good lord!!!! Its not a myth!!!! Beautiful female geeks really exist..."
I'm still amazed I found one for myself actually.
(18 years for us in June)
That means there's only like...three left in the world!
Oh wait, I'm thinking of the golden tickets from Willy Wonka.
...or am I???

@Git Em SteveDave:
So Kari is no longer single? My dream has been shattered! Not that I was planning on flying over to the east coast, tracking her down, and doing anything about it, but still.
We can still dream though...

@liveinvt: The point of the post is sharing information that one of our own has gotton some professional recognition. When one of us does well, we all do. We are all (almost all) family here at Giz.

I wish I had a rich spouse. Wait, I just wish I was rich. Actually, I am glad I am alive. :)
I am glad her talent isn't being wasted. Cheers!

It's not like it isn't 100% deserved.
Addy combines not only some fun snark in her writing but at the same time seems both educated and a truly nice person as well.
SALUTE!!!

Everybody here who knows you (but not in the biblical sense - that's Jesus' domain (Damn!))
loves you and knows you are the BEST!
It was only a matter of time before the truth busted out!
Cheers!

@DeCerbo: no change of last name in Spain after marriage. And everyone has two last names. For instance, their children would be called "Insert-Name" Diaz Dugdale.
