If Programming Languages Were Boats

I happened upon this hilarious post over at CompSci.ca Blog. It has certainly led to some great comments as well as some friendly debating among CS nerds… Turing Turing would definitely be a kayak. It’s small. It’s human powered. It’s often used as a beginner “boat.” And it’s also very Canadian. photo by naokomc Java Java is […]

Second Baby Purchases

Update on the bloody mucous: I’m still spotting and cramping a bit, but it has definitely lessened so we won’t be going to the ER. Needless to say, I didn’t get much sleep last night. And since I am supposed to be taking it easy (and the nanny isn’t available on Wednesdays), J took the […]

Level II Ultrasound (And Some Blood…)

Today J and I trekked down to the hospital for our Level II Ultrasound. We were excited to see BebeDeux again, but more excited to definitively find out the gender of our impending one. BebeDeux was not cooperative right from the get-go. The ultrasound tech actually told us that just from the way the baby […]

Paper Coasters by Terada Naoki

I am loving these paper coasters by Japanese designer Terada Naoki — the delicate profiles, the shadows they cast, and (perhaps the best part) how they can be stacked on top of one another to create more elements. Unfortunately, they only seem to be available in Japan at the moment.  🙁 Via HolyCool.net. You may also […]

Dirty Easter Egg in Harry Potter 3

Did you know that in the closing credits of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, you can see some mischief being managed on the Marauder’s Map? So it’s not nearly as bad as some of the Disney’s dirty easter eggs. But one can’t help but wonder what the owners of the footprints are up […]

BB Creams (And a Giveaway!)

If you are Asian, there’s a very good chance that you already know what BB Creams are — after all, they have been all the rage in Korea, Japan, and China for the past few years. So if you’re familiar with BB Creams, please feel free to skip the next section.  🙂 What is a […]

19 Weeks

I feel bad that I haven’t been writing about BebeDeux and this pregnancy as much as I did with Claire. But with the two babies so close in age, I haven’t forgotten much about my pregnancy with Claire, and aside from a few minor differences, this pregnancy is very similar. I do not consider this […]

Peaked Too Early

Lately I have been plagued with a nagging uncertainty that makes me wonder if I had peaked too early in life. Allow me to explain. Before the age of 20, I was a Little Miss Overachiever: straight ‘A’s in school, tons of extracurricular activities, numerous awards, distinctions, and merits. My accomplishments included the following: Not […]
