She also says "coding" in this really sexy way.

Karen is a f***ing fabulous filipino sister... she's fun, she's talented and not afraid of anything (I've never seen her flinch!). She has a great sense of humor and a wicked smile.

Speaks softly but carries a big STICK OF FUCKING DYNAMITE!

Or sometimes thermite.

hot hot hot

Karen is the glue that holds the SF nerd scene together. On top of that, she is too hot and classy for your action. She's a 99.99er and doesn't even know it. She is a smart friend, and a pleasure to be around. Step to her wrong and I'll kill you.

Karen is a thinktank and she always knows where the party is. She can do anything better than you. AZNQT!

Karen is the most funnest chick ever. If you find yourself not having a good time in her radius, you must be a fucking loser. And yes you should be intimidated.

Um, excuse me, but is that cleavage legal?

Karen is fucking great- she has an amazingly evil mind, is a thug at heart who knows how to cook, shoot, solder, build shit, blow shit up- a lot of fierce fun, sexy as hell, amazingly fast mind, and a nonstop laugh. i love screaming her name out as loudly as possible in crowded areas because she screams back just as loud "WHAT!"- another good karen moment- someone drives slowly by the front of my house- karen: "what the FUCK!!" (maddog look) seriously you can take the girl out of manila.. also she's really good at getting in places free and avoiding the police.

Not to repeat the attestations above with which I wholeheartedly concur. I'd like to chime in with the fact that Karen's a fantastic friend. Always there when you need her and always ready to listen. Through these last few months she's been a lifesaver for me over a series of bumps and troughs in the road of life.

Thanks Karen!

She was my tutor in Replicant Finishing School. Karen taught me everything I know about passing for an Earth Chick, and is the most lifelike fembot ever to strut the earth in 4"-Manolos.

I had known Karen for, like, a week, when she had put into words something that had been bothering me for the 7 years I have been living in San Francisco; and she inspired me to start a project I have been putting off for years. Had I had this woman for a consigliere a decade ago, I would be Lord of All I Survey by now. Smart cookie, and quality peeps.

She makes me want to learn more, see more, do more. She could kick my ass, but mainly she does really cool stuff and always takes pictures. Find her in the dictionary under babe.

Karen is a rock star. She's a mover and a shaker, and is one of the few people that can smack Mark Pauline around. She is the Keith Richards of robotics, only much better looking.

well, well, KOR finally joins in, be nice to her as she might have a giant robot show up to your front door and want to 'play' other than that she's supra sweet!

karen stops traffic. kicks your ass. blows your mind. breaks your heart. outstyles everyone. PWNZ you.
