Among the 500+ sites I subscribe to on Google Reader, there has been much talk about trolls as of late. While I firmly believe that true trollers consist of mean-spirited persons who have nothing better to do, I have also been noticing a trend toward labeling commenters as trolls and jumping all over them simply […]
Blogs and Coffee
I love this print by MadeByGirl. I only wish I had an office where I can hang it! Not a coffee drinker? Check out their Blogs and Tea print! You may also like: Late to the Mobile Game The Writers’ Retreat OMGz I Want This Book “Manga Plates” by Mika Tsutai
Pooped Out
I’m sorry for yesterday and today’s lack of updates. After having overnight guests and hosting a weekend full of World Cup festivities, we are nothing short of pooped. Even the little guy shares in our fatigue: I know we have a nice DSLR with which we can take fabulous photos. I also know that I […]
Censoring Comments
Yesterday, reader Ashley asked in a comment: Do you have a problem with negative comments? I haven’t noticed any, but you probably delete them. I am lucky that most of the people who choose to comment here are polite and courteous, if not overly supportive. However, I do get the nasty comment here and there and […]
The Power of Social Media, the Invisible Line, and a Giveaway!

Protecting My Domain and Moniker
I recently discovered that a blogger has taken to using the “Geek in Heels” moniker for her own site. (Thank you, Google Alerts, for giving me the heads-up!) The blog is relatively new and does not seem to have many readers. However, the writer is Asian like myself and our blogging topics are bound to […]
Winner of the DVD Player Giveaway!
I received an overwhelmingly positive response to the Geek in Heels DVD Player Giveaway, so thank you to all who entered! Unfortunately, I could not count all entries as they did not adhere to the following rules: Only one comment entry per person would be entered, however… Twitter entries were counted as many times as […]
Win a DVD Player!
Alright, I know that DVDs are on their way out but I still cling onto my 500+ DVD collection because I love movies that much (I have no taste and will watch anything). Our old Toshiba DVD player was decent, but all that changed when we upgraded our television to a widescreen HDTV LCD. With […]
