The HTC S740 was announced today. HELLO GORGEOUS! I’m such a sucker for sleek, minimalist designs. The specs, according to BGR: 116.3 x 43.4 x 16.3 mm GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz WCDMA/HSDPA: 900/2100 MHz (we’d guess there is a 850/1900MHz UMTS/HSDPA version in the works, supports HSDPA 3.6Mbps and HSDPA 7.2Mbps) 2.4″ QVGA screen 3.2 megapixel […]
Sigh. I really, really wanted to be in LA this week for SIGGRAPH 2008, but I had to design a few crappy fliers, organize some gifts, and send those over instead. News from SIGGRAPH has been all over my Google Reader these past couple of days, and it’s only day 2! You can check out […]
Earlier this week, I read about the TwitSig mug. Using the TwitSig website, you create your own Twitter image, upload it to Zazzle, and viola! You get your own Twitter mug! (image from the TwitSig Zazzle page) I immediately knew that I needed to get a mug for J, who is one of the most […]

I guess I didn’t realize just how much of an alcoholic and caffeine addict I can be, because people have started to notice. And they smile, or give me a little wink. Then I […]
IKEA. The post-college mecca for cheap furniture with exotic names. Did you know that there is a method to the naming madness? In 2003, Boing Boing demystified the naming scheme here. Now, you can see what you would be if you were a piece of Swedish furniture. As “Jenny,” I am a chest of drawers: […]
Being a blogger (albeit a relatively unknown one) in NYC with a wide web of friends and acquaintances has its perks. A few weeks ago, I was asked to be a beta tester for version 5 of Squarespace‘s web publishing platform. I remembered reading about Squarespace, but had never checked it out. It was exactly […]

I’m a total Machead who’s always trying to persuade her friends to switch to the Mac platform, and we only have Macs at home…three of them, in fact (my MacBook Pro, J’s black MacBook, and an iMac […]
I have an uncanny sense of time. I usually know what time it is without looking at a clock, and I’m almost always within 5 minutes of accuracy, to boot. I can also set an internal “alarm” to wake me up whenever I wish. For the past year or so, I’ve always woken up […]

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.
