I have stated in the past that I do not make money from blogging. Actually, I make some money from linking via Amazon Associates. But that doesn’t amount to much at all…$10 a month on the good months. I have gotten inquiries about advertising on Geek in Heels, but I always brushed them off because […]
I have a friend whose 2-year-old girl has looked exactly the same since birth. Of course, there are telltale signs of growth such a longer hair and the presence of teeth, but every time I see the little girl she just looks like a bigger and longer version of herself as an infant. (And her […]
I have owned my DSLR for over a year now, but I still don’t feel completely comfortable with its myriad of settings and options. Sure, I have it set to manual mode most of the time, but I’m forever questioning my choices due to the fact that I’m a casual shooter with limited time (and […]
I have a confession to make. Before I became a mother, I used to look down on SAHMs with housekeepers and/or nannies. “You stay at home all day,” I thought to myself. “Can’t you clean when the baby’s sleeping? And why would you need help raising a kid?” This, like many other pre-conceived notions of […]
Last Sunday, J’s uncle passed away. I was not particularly close to him. I have never had conversations longer than a couple of minutes with him due to our language barrier. But he always had a big, genuine smile on his face whenever I greeted him. I could tell that he was proud of J […]
I understand that web publishers want to get people to click on over to their sites. I also can empathize with those who want to know more details about their traffic. But as someone who subscribes to over 1,000 sites on Google Reader, I hate, hate, HATE truncated RSS feeds with a passion. Luckily, there […]
A couple of days ago, a reporter from the AP contacted me (having read my thoughts on the issue here on this blog) and asked if I would like to be interviewed for a story she was doing on America’s reaction to the death of Bin Laden. Unfortunately, my comments were edited out of that […]
First… HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!!! Second… In celebration of Star Wars Day, Lucasfilm has announced all of the details about the upcoming Star Wars Blu-ray releases (set for September 16). You can either purchase the complete saga with all the movies included, or the original trilogy or the prequels separately. The discs will include an […]
J and I are both sick. I only slept two hours last night from raging migraines (years down the road, I think I may remember this pregnancy as “the eternal headache”), dizziness, and nausea. J seems to be coming down with a cold. We have been taking turns napping while the other watches Claire. I […]
…Saddens me a bit. Not because I am mourning the death of a great person. Not because I am a supporter of terrorism or any of the other horrible things he has done in his lifetime. Not because I do not still cringe when I think about 9/11 or the thousands of lives of the […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
