The Seven Types of Physicians’ (Bad) Handwriting

I have a doctor friend who swears that her previously tidy, neat handwriting has gone downhill ever since she obtained her medical license. And I cannot — for the life of me — ever remember receiving a prescription that was decipherable. Perhaps the AMA makes chicken scratch handwriting a requirement? 😛 Via A Cartoon Guide […]

On Blogging and Commenting

A few of my readers — especially first-time parents — have recently asked me how I manage to find the time to blog. My answer? Schedule, schedule, schedule! Don’t get me wrong — I do not have a block of time I set aside every day to blog, because let’s face it: setting and sticking […]

CSI: Seems Legit

I remember reading that shows like CSI are doing no favors for the judicial system, because jurors are demanding the highly improbable (and oftentimes quite costly) technological hocus-pocus that is seen on the shows. I am often left having similar thoughts — “But they did it on ‘House’!” — during hospital visits and stays. 😀 Via […]

Claire’s Favorite (Interactive) Books

Claire loves books. This bibliophile of a mother couldn’t be more proud, as our 11-month-old’s favorite “toys” are books…she “reads” in her stroller, she “reads” in the car, and she even “reads” during bathtime (we have some bath-safe, rubber books). In fact, I think it’s safe to say that Claire already has more books than her […]

Lego Words Puzzles [Clever Ads]

If it isn’t obvious by now, I *heart* Lego. J and I can’t wait until our kids are old enough for us to create Lego masterpieces with them! I also love creative Lego ads. Whether they are commissioned or unsolicited, the likes of the Shadow Ads and Star Wars Make Your Own Story series never cease […]

Lessons My Mother Taught Me

Isn’t it funny how you resist and even resent your parents growing up, and only when you become an adult — and more so, when you become a parent yourself — that you realize how wonderful they are? Many of my readers may already be aware that Korea has deep roots in Buddhism. When I was […]

September 11, 2011

Today I woke up and remembered how a decade ago, I saw smoke rising from lower Manhattan as I drove along the New Jersey Turnpike. I remembered how I, along with other drivers, stopped our cars and turned our radios on full blast while we stared in horror at another plane crashing into the second […]

StoryCorps Videos of 9/11 Victims’ Families [Excuse Me While I Bawl]

Remember StoryCorps? The good folks behind that tearjerker of a video Danny and Annie? Well, they have been recording touching stories from the families of 9/11 victims, and transformed three especially heartbreaking tales into animated shorts. You might want to have some tissues handy… In this tenth anniversary of what remains one of the most […]
