Article in WSJ . How many bets that he is going to be a super-linker? I don't care, I just want to be connected. OMG...I'm scared to send the LinkedIn request!

This is my friend Lindsey, who I had lunch with today: < She told me about this (which happened more than 10 years ago but still) but I had never seen it until I checked out her website ! I also think I recall that she got in trouble for that...

I find it troubling that the word "fridge" has a 'd' in it and refrigerator does not. Who says that's OK?

I haven't been writing because I've been sick and the last thing you want to do when you are sick is anything that requires an attention span of more than a few minutes. I'm not telling you this because I feel guilty; I don't. I'm just filling up that...

Quarter of 6 pm on a clear day in February, fifty degrees. My neighbors are in their backyard playing rap music, BBQing and playing badminton. My neighborhood is just the kind of weird that I like.

(A blog post that is going to bore the hell out of 49% of my readers) It may have been the insane weather yesterday; temps in the fifties, sun out, windows open with me feeling a little disoriented (and it looks like today is more of the same...whee...

Can anyone from Seattle recommend a place for Dim Sum; preferrably in the international district? I'm ready for another culinary adventure and it's been years since I tried Dim Sum. I want to give it another go.

So Gary Coleman says he's secretly been married. Well, really? Is it a secret when nobody cares? I (vaguely) remember when the media was used to tell people things of importance, not help disgraced child stars hold on to a shred of career prospect...

I generally pride myself on my good health. You know, healthy eating, going to the gym, never getting sick. Unfortunatley I said those last three words last week and this is what I get. Allergy season(s), spring and fall, start off with a sore throat...

to not want kids but still think this is the cutest thing in the world. Stick your finger in your brother's mouth and you deserve what you get. Ow, Charlie!

Here's an article I wrote recently for Pragmatic Marketing , which appeared in their February newsletter. Thought I'd reprint here and share a little link love. And for the record, I am not the one that used the word "expert" to describe myself; that...

for people like me who actually enjoyed going to caucus (come on, it was interesting and I got to argue!). Hey Monkey Brain You can argue about anything your little confrontational heart desires. I'm deciding on my first fight to pick. Because you...

...without removing one ounce of creepiness Clowns freak me out.

That last recap took me about 3 hours. I can't do it anymore. I'm a quitter, but I am a quitter with good taste. It's just that I don't have any extra work time and I am not willing to give up any extra personal time for it. I'll try to proviude comments...

This is what I did today . I'm watching it online so I can hear the bits I missed. The lines outside Key Arena were incredibly long and by the time I got about half-way to the front, security told us the arena was full. Damn. The lady next to me told...

Over on the Freakonomics blog, there's an interesting post on men , women and the nature of competition in society. I have to admit that I hate conversations that include declarations like "men are so" and "why are women so". This actually came up in...

A few things either not worth a whole blog post or else I am lazy... ...you may be wondering what I know about the Microsoft/Yahoo thing. I know about as much as you do (though I have to chuckle a little bit at the google response). No matter what...

Yeah, this Apprentice thing is pretty much proof that I am a bad person or at least undisciplined. OK, neither of those but I'm still not loving these Apprentice updates. This week (well the week of task 4) was particularly rough because I thought the...

Here's an article on food services at Microsoft. Working from home, I don't eat on campus that frequently. Plus, I definitely experienced the freshman fifteen before I got my act together and started going to the Pro Club. I do find dining on campus to...

Super bowl, blah, blah. I wasn't that interested this year. I don't have any ties to either team (which is a little rare considering the number of places I have lived). When it comes to picking a team, I consider whether I have lived in either place ...
