I’m selling a lot of books on Amazon, as I clean out my study. I have finally used up my book of 60¢, 70¢ and 80¢ stamps from the era where I was trying to get my novels picked up by a publisher or agent. So now, somewhat ironically I’m using the postage to ship [...]
A while ago, I planned a tea at the Ritz, which led me to their site to find good directions and then I started ogling the rooms. Is my life up to snuff?
The Ritz
My Apt
Wireless Internet access
In every room, baby!
Built-in electrical outlets and Broadband connections on guestroom desktops
Not sure what they’re talking about- CAT5? [...]
Two things inspire me to write this, one, that I was reading Fortune’s Web Celebs and a post about it got a snarky comment from a local. The other thing- a new friend of mine that’s also local, and when she told me about her travels in the 90s, she and her friends basically took [...]
I invested in a Sony Bravia 40″ LCD HD tv a few months ago. I mainly want to see the teacups, in the period piece DVDs that I own, really, really close-up. I have been really happy with it, but because I didn’t get a DVD player with HD abilities, it is a bit fuzzy. [...]
[My camera is in intensive care at Lake Forest Village, let's hope it recovers speedily.]
It’s true- I’m single, at a ripe age (35), and yet it seems young to me, because, I’m at the earliest I’ll be until I die, I guess. Personally, I feel like Agent 99, from Get Smart, who is happy being [...]
I remember all the kids in third grade getting to be models for the local ski shop, Any Mountain. Well, it seemed like all the kids but me! My family didn’t ski. We went once to a hotel up in Tahoe that my mom got for some barter advertising deal in her magazine, and we [...]
I usually don’t have any. But this year, I find myself inspired by the motivations of others, so here I go:
- for 1 month, no wheat, to “recalibrate”. Looking at my Trader Joe’s checkout basket yesterday, realized I’m kind of addicted to fruit & bread.
- 30-minute cardio workouts in the morning. I don’t have a [...]

Joyce Park wrote a two-article “A Modest Proposal” (no reference to Swift*) on women in programming and the industry, why there aren’t more, and what to do about it. A lot of guys wrote back, [...]
So I am at work and decide to catch dinner with some coworkers and their friends, in North Beach. I knew about some other happenings in town- Yelp party at Voda in Union Square- but when folks want to go to your neighborhood, it’s very hard to go anywhere else.

We started here, cramming seven bodies [...]
Back in college, I got to know UNIX better because someone changed my “.profile” to 1-800-hot-sex. So when you log onto the system and type “who” to see who else is online, on the list of users is a girl named “1-800-HOT-SEX”. Hilarious!
Needless to say, in the span of a day I learned how to [...]
