My Site Icon: A Decepticon in Disguise

When I first debuted my site redesign, J asked, “Why do you have a pink Decepticon symbol in your header?” “What are you talking about? That’s a book.” Pause. “Ohh…yeah.

As a lover of design, data collection, charts, and graphs, data visualization is right up my alley. I was delighted to discover that there exists a corresponding blog called Information Is Beautiful. Unfortunately, the […]

California Dreamin…

If I could be anywhere on Earth right now, I would be in San Diego. Even Google is honoring what is probably the largest geek gathering in the world: Geeks of the world, unite! And yes, if I were there, I’d be donning the infamous Princess Leia bikini. I have this Facebook status thread from […]

Monopoly, Repackaged

I admit it – I am a total boardgame whore. I much prefer having friends over for a feisty round of Cranium over many other activities of the non-geek variety.
