Every Apple fan has two events to look forward to every year: Macworld in January, and WWDC in June. Very often at these conferences, the keynote will be delivered by none other than Steve Jobs himself, announcing drool-worthy products and upgrades. Even those who are not in the industry travel from across the world to attend these events, just for a chance to be present at the world release of the next "it" product, to mingle with fellow MacHeads, and revel in the presence of some of the greatest minds in the world of Apple. Yes, attending a Macworld (and sitting in on a Steve Jobs keynote) is on my list of things to do before I die. This Joy of Tech from 2001 illustrates the fervor magnificently: With this...

How I Met Him

Jun 04. 2008

I have been married for a a month and a half now, and realized I've never written about how I met my husband. J and I attended the same university. He was quite the ladies' man in his college years, so he had already established a reputation by the time I entered school. In fact, I had heard about him before ever meeting him in person. Our first time meeting face to face was at a party during my freshmen year (he was a senior). He tried to hit on me, and I ran away. Of course, he swears he doesn't recall this incident at all.

Because after the damn wedding, we really couldn't afford anything other than Ikea furniture. We (well, it's mostly me doing all the work while J stays hooked on the XBox) are still working on the two bedrooms, but I'm happy to say that the living room, kitchen, and the master closet are finally done! What you see as soon as you walk through the door: I'm not thrilled with the curtains...

My Wedding, In Retrospect

Jun 02. 2008

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.) When I got engaged I naturally started a wedding planning blog and was delighted to be accepted as a blogger on one of the largest and best-known wedding blogs in the U.S. - Weddingbee. Due to its immense popularity, I sometimes get recognized on the streets. Once in a while, I meet new people and they exclaim, "I know you - you're on Weddingbee!" Thus, I think it would be safe to say that my internet identity is mostly tied in with my wedding, which occurred 1.5...
