Hey, I am sure there are a bunch of new years resolution-makers out there. The gym fills up and then slowly empties out. And people start being rude to their mothers-in-law again and smoking a little more. Pleh, this time of year is for dashed expectations...

Ah, now come on! Creating technical evangelists is one thing. Not hiring someone because they are smart? Total BS. You think that smart person brings a number of followers with them (from a mindshare perspective)? Yeah, they do. This was just a stupid...

My attention span is uhm, what was I saying? Oh, yeah. It's short. Short attention.....zzzz. Short attention span. And when it's pushed to it's limits, my ability to engage is hindered. As is my ability to maintain a pleasant facial expression. And posture...

This is a tough time of year. Sometimes I want to dissect the psyche of those people that love this time. Because for all of my open-minded intention, I just flat out hate it. For those of you that have been reading for a while, I'm sure that it's...

Bill Gates starts Twittering. I can't say for sure that it's not a good idea. I have just seen so many people, important people even, jump on the blog or Twitter bandwagon; because it's gained popularity, probably because someone is telling them they...

Apparently, we sponsored a survey that found that the majority of recruiters had declined to pursue a prospect/candidate because of information they found about a candidate online. Wow....so this makes me realize that it has been a while since I worked...

In a recent New York Times article (and I kind of want to punch myself for just typing that), Kate Zernike discusses degree selection and the adjustment colleges and universities are making due to shifts in the social and economic environment. Some schools...

"Pick Barbie's new career!" I saw the Facebook buzz about this. And while I think that the enthusiasm comes from a good place (and good friends), it makes me want to build a big fancy funeral pyre for that plasticky little doll. Honestly! Except that...

I've been thinking a lot lately about my stuff. Like, all my *things*. I know this is a little weird. It's probably more reasonable to think about one thing like your car, or your kick ass doll collection (sorry...kidding). But with all the exploring...

Sometimes to get rid of stuff, you have to buy stuff. Last night I had dinner with my neighbors and was a little sad hearing that a 9 year old would be bummed that I am moving to Seattle (it's just 12 miles, little one!). The plan is to not tell her...

Occasionally, I understand grumpy people. I feel sorry for the ones with bad teeth. I kind of like going to the dentist. It's like a free treatment: my teeth get extra blingy and my insurance pays for it. I don't really mind the poking of the pointy...

Interesting option for Firefox users (not that I know *ANY* of them!). Eric Schmidt says: "If you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." Alrighty then. That's crap. With the exception...

I haven't shopped at lululemon yet, though all my girlfriends talk about it. I may have mentioned that I have started training for a marathon (did I mention that here or only on facebook?). And I'm still trying to figure out what gear I need. I believe...

Do you eat it? My household just became considerably less angsty. (Source: SF Weekly Foodie Blog )

Today I am reminding myself that decluttering my life is probably best done in baby steps. This weekend, I decided that a personal situation (should I have put quotes around that?) was cluttering up my brain. So I put it on ice. The situation (not to...

How cute is this kid? Geez. Marko is a 9 year old MCSE. (Story by Ina Fried at Beyond Binary) Now when my friends' kids ask for something and I tell them to get a job, I may be a little more serious. Because it can totally happen! Way to go Marko...

Most iPhone users run Windows (See what happens when I don't blog for a while? All my angst gets released on my Faceplace page)

Synthetic alcohol? Usually "synthetic" sounds blech. But I'm kind of liking the way that this synthetic alcohol sounds.
