The iPad is here!

I was hanging outside the Apple announcement today with Justine. We tried but nobody gave us a press pass. Even though we didn’t get to see anything, I’m esploder over the product. They call it the iPad.

I’m absolutely thrilled about the new iPad. [...]

A summary of CES

A trip through CES on Youtube
This is a little bit of everything we did at CES. I was shooting with a Canon 960is which I borrowed from a friend. I have since purchased and received it just in time for Mexico. (Yep, I’m currently in Mexico.) The touch screen at the [...]

BaconCamp!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been more than a month since I thought about organizing BaconCamp. It’s a little more than a week away, and I can’t wait. Everyone has been so supportive and helpful. I’m feeling and appreciating all the love.
Don’t forget to get your ticket early.

My first tweet! What was yours?

It’s around that time again, when my twitter feed is flooded with conversations about sxsw. Many claim that Twitter was put on the map by SXSW 07, when throngs of geeks and bloggers used the service to praise and criticize panels and to find out where the partying was happening.

Fortunately, Twitter has become much [...]

The Lego Turing Machine

Lego Turing Machine on Youtube
This is as geeky as it gets. Behold the awesome power of the Lego Turing Machine. If you don’t know about Turing Machines, you can still enjoy that it is made of Legos. I was really into CS theory in college, so this video provides endless enjoyment for [...]

The organization helps provide clean water in Africa. You know how you’re not supposed to drink the water in Mexico because you might [...]

Any interest in Baconcamp?

I am on a Diet Series~, originally uploaded by elsakawai™.

Inspired by Arial Waldman’s cupcakecamp (which was in turn, inspired by barcamp), I’m thinking of hosting baconcamp. I recently attended Baconfest, which was SO MUCH AWESOME. It would be fun to bring this celebration of all things bacony to this geek community. However, [...]

A little macworld update

Youtube booth at Macworld
Macworld has been pretty fun, even though there weren’t many big announcements. I didn’t find anything that really excited me at the event. The little youtube booth had a computer and a soft light on the ceiling so I played a little song in the booth.

Women in games, who cares?

I was quite amused by this article
Every few months, I am reminded that I am a woman. Not just any woman, mind you, but a woman in games

As a woman and, yes, a woman in games, I don’t think about my gender any more than you probably do yours, unless someone brings it to my [...]

Virgin flight

Cheap flights, yummy snacks, power outlets; What else could I ask for in an airline? (aside from consistent timeliness which I’ve never gotten from any airline) They recently added a couple of new premium tv shows which was a very nice surprise.
PS
Being in Boston when the Celtics crush the Lakers is pretty darn sweet. [...]
