I’m not a big drinker but I’ve learned that tipping well for the first drink often gets you better service the rest of the night. If the bar is crowded or will be crowded later in the night it is especially worth leaving a few extra bucks for those hard-working bartenders. Imagine this:

When I first saw the geek hot wired article I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. Really, digatechgirl & digatechguy are far superior. Reason:
Web 2.0 parties, free 2.0 lunches, no host bars, billion dollar valuations … its DOT COM time again!!!
So to celebrate (and jump on that bandwagon), we’ve created (cobbled together) our […]

This is really geeky, so I’ll spare you if you’re not interested.
I’ve been using Dvorak for years and I looooove it. When people find out (usually by failing to type on my keyboard), they often ask me why I switched.

I had a great time at the Songbird and Satisfaction Kubrick and Cupcake party on Thursday. It’s always nice to catch up with people I haven’t seen in a while. I haven’t been going out much lately (been working a ton), but if it’s a costume party or there are happy cakes I’m […]

Or not. I don’t understand why there is so much anger around the price drop. Cars steeply drop in value as soon as one drives it off the lot. I’ve already paid for the phone. It’s a done deal, a sunk cost. I have not forgotten the horrible experiences of […]
I’ve been wrestling with a difficult question lately: Should I try to get an iphone? Though my v3 razr is sleek and sexy (and red. I’m quite fond of red) the iphone is the new hotness. I have a feeling that many early adopters do not pay out of pocket […]
I’m fairly certain that I absolutely need these earrings. They are too hot. Unfortunately, they sold out yesterday (after 3 days of being on the market). I am sad, so very sad.
Andrew* sent me a cute song about Ruby on Rails by Miles Forest:
