How much does psychology come into play when it comes to the day a woman gives birth? As it turns out, more than what you might expect. Using 11-years’ worth of U.S. birth certificate data provided by the National Center for Health Statistics, Yale researchers have found that there are higher instances of birth on Valentine’s […]
I love typewriters. I have studied music since the age of 5. So how can I not fall in love with this Keaton Music Typewriter, which allows the user to type musical notes on blank sheet music? According to musicprintinghistory.org: The Keaton Music Typewriter was first patented in 1936 (14 keys) by Robert H. Keaton from San […]
With less than 3 weeks to go before my due date with BebeDeux, I have been slowly making preparations for our new life as a family of 4. The hardest part of this transition has had to do with Claire. Because for the past couple of weeks, I have been purposely spending less and less […]
Admit it. We’ve all been there. Doing a #2 in a public/semi-public restroom, only to realize that — oh crap (literally) — there’s no toilet paper! What do you do? This is precisely the reason I try my best to have a pack of tissues in my bag at all times. But on the few […]
I have a sore throat and a slight fever. Keeping myself healthy in these last remaining weeks of the pregnancy is high priority, so I will be taking it easy today. Here’s something to make up for the lack of posts: an animated GIF of Claire’s ham face: How can you look at this and […]

J and I have loved the hit ABC show Modern Family ever since my sister introduced us to it mid-first season. And over the past summer, as we patiently waited the new season by re-watching reruns, something began to dwell on us… “Hey, isn’t…?” “Phil Dunphy acts a lot like you!” “And you’re exactly like Claire!” And […]

If you do not, this paragraph sums up what “Super People” are: A brochure arrives in the mail announcing […]
I remember that the first computer I ever used was a Mac. I remember learning Photoshop on a Mac. I remember buying my first Mac. I remember lining up for Apple OS X “Panther,” and how this was the very first geek-related launch party I ever attended. I remember squealing like a little girl when […]
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.
