I have this absurd notion that when I head home tomorrow (aka: the Arctic), that I will find some boy that is going to want to whisk me away on a ski trip for New Year’s. I’m not quite sure where this idea came from, but as I was packing I found myself grabbing for [...]
A while ago I read this book. Now I’m reading this book which has led me to listen to this song on repeat (as I will so often do when I need something to really sink in). And if you head on over to the Wikipedia page for that song and scroll down to Legacy, [...]

The other day I was out to dinner with some very smart friends. While two were engaged in their own conversation, the third turned to me and asked, “How do you think quantum physics shapes human morality?” Whoa. What? My face went blank and I [...]
While clicking through Shine from Yahoo!, I came across this article and what immediately caught my eye was the source link. I didn’t actually believe that Yahoo! would credit Perez Hilton, but oh was I wrong. It led straight to this article. I guess I should look on the bright side: if [...]
Having started following Dooce in the geekiest way possible (through a match of Layer Tennis on Coudal), it was a shock to realize after awhile that her blog was considered a parenting blog – something as foreign to me as mayonnaise on french fries (yuck!

This afternoon, my most awesome boss, Scott (would include a link here if there was a blog to link to, AHEM), sent me out with his Nikon D80 to play around with.

As much as I love the smell of new books, reading used books not only saves trees, but can be quite interesting when you find receipts, business cards, and markings left behind by previous owners.
In this instance, someone in my building must have cleaned out their bookshelves because there was a whole box to rummage [...]
I will be the first to admit that I don’t understand politics at all. I took the AP U.S. History class in high school. In fact, I even enjoyed it due to the crazy ex-Vietnam vet that happened to be the professor. I learned the whole checks and balances thing. I (kind of) remember what [...]
This could possibly be my new favorite internet device. And this is why:
“Zen Habits covers: achieving goals, productivity, being organized, GTD, motivation, eliminating debt, saving, getting a flat stomach, eating healthy, simplifying, living frugal, parenting, happiness, and successfully implementing good habits.”
This is probably the most useful blog I have come across to date. As [...]
For some reason 9/11 has been a recurring theme in my life the last few days. I’m not quite sure why seeing as it’s January and it doesn’t usually cross my mind unless it is, in fact, September 11th or I happen to find myself walking by “Ground Zero.” Attending college a few [...]
