MyFontbook: A Better Font Viewer

Today I read about MyFontbook – a FREE font viewer that organizes all your fonts (all 700+ of them in my case) in an easy-to-use web interface. What makes MyFontbook […]

My First Happy Tears as a Mother

Yesterday, I had written that we received a surprise gift in the mail: the book Oh, Baby, the Places You’ll Go! A Book to Be Read in Utero. As I sidled into bed last night I decided to take the book with me so that I can read to Tater Tot for the very first […]

The Lonely Pregnant Woman

I got married at 27, a fairly young age in my group of friends. When I returned from my honeymoon, I suddenly felt like a pariah. You can’t deny it – people treat you differently once you’re married. Invitations to girls-night-outs slowed to a trickle. When you strike up a conversation with a man (even […]

I love the latest Twitter meme – #songsincode! Similar to the internet meme Songs in Chart, here geeks are able to flaunt their creativity and programming know-how by expressing popular songs in code! Some of my favorites: @cael_gomes try{ make(&me); goto rehab; }catch(){ I.said(“no, no, no\0”); } @jamesstephenson a = [“head”, “shoulders”, “knees”, “toes”] while […]

Second mystery of the day: How did the puppy’s favorite toy end up in the bathtub? I thought J put it there as a joke (we had just given the dog a bath) but he swears he didn’t. Comang is a little guy – it is very improbable that he voluntarily placed the elephant into […]

You’re No Longer My Internet Friend

Pregnancy hormones are not fun. I have been extra-sensitive lately with the littlest things setting me off. The latest in the series of dramas – some of which I’m sure are only in my head – involve a couple of internet friends. Recently I found out that someone I had considered a good friend (at […]
