I struggled for a while installing this so I thought I’d share the process, in case this helps anyone. Install Plugins, Extensions, etc. Setting Up the Mark-Up Pages Success! Troubleshooting Further Reading & Notes On What’s Out There So Radiant is the great content management system for Ruby on Rails. One basic aspect of any [...]
I’m on the board of my condo building, and I’m a little frustrated at the small amount of apartment mates contributing to our citywide bin- 3 of 150- so I was given the job of putting up a notice. I had some problems researching- mainly, finding out public opinion. I looked at SF’s Recycle program [...]
Taking a break from work and working on costume for this weekend. I feel kind of consumed by another time period. I’m taking the quest for accuracy in another direction. In reading about 1500s, I was interested in the value and worth of clothing. Turns out it’s kind of like Japanese kimonos or Indian saris- [...]
Ah, we had a great time. You learn in writing classes and speech classes to make sure your ending is good as it “leaves a taste in the mouth”, and unfortunately my fun weekend had a bad closer. Our taxi from SFO was driven by a hopped up cabbie who didn’t know how to get [...]
I took that without looking- drove in and out of a thunderstorm going South on 1 last Sunday around 3 PM. The air smelled like bad electrical wiring. Huge drops of rain that flew at you horizontally.

Inspired by Top Chef I’ve changed some of the ways I cook. Like, I stop reheating things from Trader Joe’s. I made this dish that had my book club drop-jawed that I had made it, and hadn’t… brought something from Trader Joe’s. We have a rule that you can only bring food mentioned in the [...]
I had a job I detested once, my first SF job “landed,” as I shelved my airline bag after commuting to Seattle every week for years. I took a pay cut, and didn’t care about who I interviewed with, just happy that I wasn’t commuting. My commute was a walk from North Beach to downtown, [...]
Workout playlist for my sister, Jenny, in Baltimore. Includes: cheesy, danceable hip hop, with some fast indie stuff thrown in. Enjoy! Buy inline with iTunes, or click on the sampler on Amazon. Amazon songs work in iTunes fine. First, hip hop warmup: “Yeah!”, by Usher, Ludacris, Lil’ John, on iTunes “Glamorous”, by Fergie, iTunes “The [...]
