One of my big complaints in the last year has been “I don’t have any hard drive space.” My computer has a 120g hd, but that’s not much since I capture a ton of video. My hd was so full that I started to run into problems. It was really slow, exchange [...]

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 [...]
The group workout is my favorite part. I love making movies with Justine.
A big thanks to the guys who were willing to be fun and silly on camera. They got adorably excited when they found out Micah designed the new comment system at Digg. Many of the guys in the video developed [...]

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 [...]

coworker: “You have to base64_decode that string to get your xml”
me: “base what?”
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.
Here’s a good list of pros and cons. I was convinced when I read this
Comfort: Dvorak wins this contest hands down. The Dvorak keymap is [...]

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 [...]

The day that Leopard launched I had to run out at 6pm to get my hands on a copy. For those who haven’t upated, it’s probably not a bad idea to wait for them to work out the kinks. I had some issues because:
1. I recently replaced my 80g drive with a 120g, [...]

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 [...]
