Death threats force woman to suspend blog, cancel talk at O'Reilly conference
March 27, 2007 -- Prominent blogger Kathy Sierra cancelled a workshop she was scheduled to give today at O'Reilly's Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego and suspended her blog because of death threats she received on her blog and threats of violence posted on other blogs, she said.
Sierra runs the Creating Passionate Users blog. (Editor's note: the site now includes the graphic language and photos that Sierra said caused her to pull out of the conference). She also is the co-creator of the Head First computer book series and founder of the popular JavaRanch programmer site.
