I wonder if Harry Potter will hold the same significance to my kids’ generation as Star Wars does for mine? Via Reddit. Edited to add on 7/3/11: Did you know that I’m giving away THREE Amazon gift cards, valued at $100, $50, and $25? Head on over to the giveaway page for a chance to […]
Last week, BuyStarWarsCostumes.com contacted me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing a couple of their costumes. If you’re thinking that I would be stupid to turn down such an offer, you are correct. I chose the Toddler Princess Leia costume for Claire and the Darth Vader Dog costume for Comang.

How is this visualization different from other alphabet charts? Colors and arrows depict where and how the changes were made, and the letters move around to show exactly we ended up with the 26-letter English alphabet we have today. Please click on through for the full animation, as it is too big (that’s what she […]
One…two…three…AWWW! This reminds me of one of my all-time favorite proposal stories, the one of Chris & Esther. The original post on Xanga has since been taken down, but you can read it over here (and yes, I still tear up whenever I read it). Via Geeks are Sexy. P.S. — Did you know that […]

Courtesy of my new favorite Tumblr blog, I Love Charts. …I’m ashamed to admit that the first time I saw this, I wondered to myself why the chart wasn’t divided into seven equal wedges. P.S. — After another month+ of teething, Claire finally cut her third and fourth teeth today! I had given her […]
It’s been almost 3 months since I’ve written anything in my WordPress for the Everyday Blogger series…eek! And since I have entirely re-designed this blog earlier this month, all that hard work almost seems obsolete. 😐 One of my New Year Resolutions has been to try my best to finish everything that I start. For this […]

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 […]
I don’t know about the rest of the country, but we are absolutely SWELTERING here in the NYC area. Our nanny actually got a call from her son earlier today because all the local schools were closing early due to the intense heat. As I vastly prefer the cold over the heat, I usually stay […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
