Pooped Out

I’m sorry for yesterday and today’s lack of updates. After having overnight guests and hosting a weekend full of World Cup festivities, we are nothing short of pooped.

Censoring Comments

Yesterday, reader Ashley asked in a comment: Do you have a problem with negative comments? I haven’t noticed any, but you probably delete them.

Protecting My Domain and Moniker

I recently discovered that a blogger has taken to using the “Geek in Heels” moniker for her own site. (Thank you, Google Alerts, for giving me the heads-up!) The blog is relatively new and does not seem to have many readers. However, the writer is Asian like myself and our blogging topics are bound to […]

Win a DVD Player!

Alright, I know that DVDs are on their way out but I still cling onto my 500+ DVD collection because I love movies that much (I have no taste and will watch anything). Our old Toshiba DVD player was decent, but all that changed when we upgraded our television to a widescreen HDTV LCD. With […]
