My Clan at Work

A shot of my toys at the office: From left to right: Spud Trooper, Artoo-Potatoo (with a hologram version Princess Tater by his side), and Darth Tater. Notice the gray rock on the bottom left. This stress toy is one of the gifts my company gives out at conferences. It is a rock that says […]

My Disappointment with WWDC 2008

New York is in the midst of a heat wave. How did the temperature go from 60 to 90 overnight? Where was spring? With record-breaking temperatures comes mass transportation delays, school closings, and the delightful eau-de-NYC-summer. But my mind was on other things yesterday.

My Home…It’s Getting There

After having lived off cheap Ikea furniture for the majority of my twenty-something years, I vowed to furnish my new condo with good-quality, “adult” furniture. Yeah, that didn’t happen.

My Wedding, In Retrospect

I first starting blogging in 2001 and have had several blogs since then. (Although Geek in Heels is only 3 months old I’ve transferred some of my favorite posts from those blogs to the archives.)
