I’ve been thinking a lot lately. I’ve been reading this book, Once You’re Lucky, Twice You’re Good, about the people who made “Web 2.0” a reality.
It has made me think a number of things. First, I shoulda learned to code… there’s a dire shortage of estrogen in Silicon Valley and I coulda been the [...]

We’ve established that I’m horrible at blogging. In an effort to get better, here are some random happenings:
Some bratty kid kicked my dog at the pet store the other day. Just walked right up and kicked her. Then the parents SORTA said “sorry” before picking up the kid, hugging her and telling her it was [...]

I read somewhere that you’re supposed to write for 15-20 minutes each morning, kind of a stream of consciousness thing because your brain cant censor your thoughts until you’ve woken up a bit.
Well, I’ve already gotten up, taken out the trash, walked the dog and started the coffee, but I’m ridiculously tired, so it’s hard [...]

My blog stats have been WAY up the last few days so I was trying to think of something to write to keep up the momentum. For inspiration, I used my trusty friend the tag surfer and happened upon this blog and decided to do my own version. Maybe I’ll be inspired [...]

I’ll admit it… I’m fascinated by Mormons. No, strike that: I’m fascinated by Mormon Fundamentalists. No, to be fair, I’m fascinated by *any* kind of religious fundamentalism. And I find polygamy interesting.

My obsession with lists goes back to fifth grade. Our teacher, Mrs. Seaney, had us keep journals. She would give us a daily journal prompt to respond to. If we didn’t like the prompt, there was a list of other activities we could do. One of them was to make a list. I thought that [...]
