“Boob” is the Perfect Word

Via The Daily What. P.S. — Blogging continues to be light as I’m still feeling pretty crappy these days. I’ve been to the doc earlier this week and while the meds he’s given me seems to be helping a bit, I have yet to feel myself. I will write more about my physical condition in […]

Growing Up

Teething update: last week I felt a tiny tooth poking out…but the next the day it was gone! What the?!? As usual, I turned to the interwebs to make sure I wasn’t going loco and it turns out that it’s perfectly normal for a tooth to reverse itself. Great. The good news is that Claire […]

Goodnight Dune

I try to read to Claire every day but I must admit that I still feel a bit silly reading to an infant whose neverending drool threatens to soak the book with each turn of the page. And frankly, I find most books that are designed to be read to babies are…well, boring. Oh how I […]

An Unexpected Surprise

I have been especially exhausted and cranky as of late. I just chalked it off to the side effects of sleep-training Claire — I was stressed out and mentally drained. Then last week, I felt it. Nausea. Once again I brushed it off as a consequence of exhaustion. But it didn’t go away. And on […]

No Need to Worry About a Robot Apocalypse (Yet)

Last week, IBM’s supercomputer software Watson made headlines when it competed against two humans on the popular trivia gameshow Jeopardy!…and won. My first thought immediately turned to the famous line from the 1984 film Terminator: They say it got smart. In other words, OH NOES! A PENDING ROBOT APOCALYPSE!!! But before I could start stockpiling weapons, […]

KPop is Now a Legitimate Global Force

SeoulBeats writes: There was a great story about Kpop and how it is becoming a legitimate global force in the music industry on Monocle, an hour long show about international news, culture, and design run by the same team that runs the magazine of the same name for Bloomberg.  Based in London, the show’s hosts talked to […]
