As if the first time around wasn’t bad enough… Lately I have been confronted by friends and family who asked me not to share so much online, FOR MY OWN GOOD. The “inappropriateness” of my blog (and what I choose to share on Facebook and Twitter) was not only limited to the pregnancy and miscarriage, […]
Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day. ~ Thornton Wilder Last week, a friend posed the question Why I Blog. (Why Do You?) The post was perfectly timed, because I had been struggling with the premise behind this blog for the past few weeks. Technorati’s 10 most […]
This week marks the fifth anniversary of Mozilla’s Firefox! I can’t believe it’s been five years — which is a looong time in the digital world — since J first told me about a new web browser that I just had to check out. “I dunno, what’s wrong with Safari?” I asked. (Yes, I was […]
Are you as obsessed with Google Reader as I am? One of my favorite G’Reader features is the ability to subscribe to your friends’ “shared” feeds.

Umm…why didn’t anyone tell me that this site looks like crap on IE7 and below??? I made the change to the new layout back in July and according to my traffic stats, a whooping 18% of my visitors use IE7 when viewing this site. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to check […]
Today, Yahoo killed its once-ubiquitous free hosting service, Geocities. Let us have a moment of silence for the thousands of ugly, not-updated-since-the-90s websites that have met their demise today. My favorite web comic xkcd was quick to pay their respect as well: Distracting background, scrolling marquee, garish colors, animated GIFs, broken links…it has it all! […]
It is pouring in New York today. The all-day, unrelenting, cats-and-dogs-replaced-by-rhinos-and-hippos kind of rain. I had made plans to go out, but exhaustion from working all day at my mother’s store combined with the thought of myself stumbling around drunk in this weather has led to flake out and keep myself warm, dry, and sober […]
