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! Read More...

My friends are cooler than your friends

Posted Wednesday, February 27, 2008 8:43 PM by HeatherLeigh
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. Whatevs. Read More...

troubling...

Posted Tuesday, February 26, 2008 1:33 PM by HeatherLeigh
I find it troubling that the word "fridge" has a 'd' in it and refrigerator does not. Who says that's OK? Read More...

Still sick...jeez

Posted Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:55 PM by HeatherLeigh
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 Read More...

You've gotta love the Seattle spirit

Posted Tuesday, February 19, 2008 5:43 PM by HeatherLeigh
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. Read More...

As far as I am concerned, spring has sprung. Boing!

Posted Monday, February 18, 2008 7:36 AM by HeatherLeigh
(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!). Read More...

Looking for Dim Sum

Posted Friday, February 15, 2008 3:56 PM by HeatherLeigh
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. Read More...

Gary Coleman

Posted Thursday, February 14, 2008 8:13 AM by HeatherLeigh
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. OK, Read More...

Just sick enough

Posted Wednesday, February 13, 2008 8:43 AM by HeatherLeigh
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 Read More...

Evaluating Career Opportunities: It’s Not Just About the Numbers

Posted Tuesday, February 12, 2008 9:59 AM by HeatherLeigh
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 Read More...

Celebrity Apprentice....sorry

Posted Sunday, February 10, 2008 9:10 PM by HeatherLeigh
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 Read More...

Don't Tase Me, Bro

Posted Friday, February 08, 2008 4:36 PM by HeatherLeigh
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 Read More...

Men, women and competition

Posted Thursday, February 07, 2008 8:18 AM by HeatherLeigh
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 Read More...

Celebrity Apprentice Task 4: A Knight on Broadway

Posted Tuesday, February 05, 2008 11:43 AM by HeatherLeigh
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 Read More...

Eating at Microsoft

Posted Tuesday, February 05, 2008 8:45 AM by HeatherLeigh
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 Read More...

I watched the Super Bowl Ads so You Don't Have To

Posted Monday, February 04, 2008 10:36 AM by HeatherLeigh
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 (there's Read More...
