On Being A Woman.. In High Tech
Biography by Washington Post editor, Katherine Graham, that the 60s in business, cavorting with Kennedy and the ilk, you were essentially ignored if you were a woman, and not young and pretty. This reminds me of a pet peeve with the Dot Com era, namely recently, Valleywag’s adoration of [...]
Open Letter to Ladies in Gym Locker Room
I go to the gym, and do a full workout. When I get back to the locker room, the same two people that were there from the start. That’s an Hour. Lady #1: naked, doing soemthing to look busy but basically just nude. Lady #2. talking about the [...]
Dot Com Style
I sit here, 7PM on a Friday, trapped in Emery-Bored, as a A’s vs. Giants’ game is clogging up my Bay Bridge.
I’m faithfully reading Boing Boing, and this article in particular.
notes by Paul De Filipp0 (taken from Boing Boing link) regarding the editorial style of Wired:
* All references to “the [...]
Nostalgia
It’s over 75 degrees in San Francisco and you know it’s headed for a scorcher in San Jose. How can places so close to each other vary in temperature, without an altitude difference? It’s amazing. I headed down the peninsula this morning. Total clothing crisis: I just don’t have summer clothes for SF. Because even [...]
Musical Pursuits
I had lunch today at a new contract, RightRound- indie music from the inside. Fantastic vocalist and lead editor asked me the eternal question, “What instrument do you play?” and I had a long rambly answer. Basically I suck at them all, similar to my language abilities. Real lessons? Started with piano lessons, moved [...]
Avatars
That’s me up there, in Whyville. Dare I ask: why? Read this article about Toyota and Whyville- an avatar based world where you can buy “face parts” and drive around in a car. It’s got the graphic aptitude of that old Lemonade stand game. I can’t believe how these things come around. Back in the [...]

When you’re not working, are you still working? I mean, could the interaction with interesting people and great artists and thinkers be “work” in itself? I don’t pretend to have a bunch of fascinating things in my head erupting in a stead stream of brilliance: it’s collaborative, or a pastiche, or something. This [...]
Movie Update: Information Kills
One of the actors told me, “you need to figure out what this is about.” Another friend who read a bunch of male parts for me, despite being a woman, and that is an irrelevant fact anyways, she said: “You have so much going on, if you chose one thing and ran [...]
Bilingual Screenplays
Trying to find the screenplay to Pushing Hands online. I did get this interview with James Schamus, which is quite good. He’s the producer of two Lee movies, and works/owns Good Machine. He discusses working with Ang Lee on the Chinese and English movie screenplay. It went back and forth a lot, I [...]
Think of that, on this:
Or, I may do a dark rose (dark pink) chenille.
That image is from this web site: indias & polynesia, which I got to by going here Pretty Pinks, Clever Cottons: 18th Century Fabrics. I’m really into period pieces. Not as much as my ex-roomie who ended up studying textile design. She [...]
