I've grown up. A bit. I don't know that I will ever achieve the status of "Grown-up" as it sat in my mind as a child. I don't know that as a little girl I could conceive of who I would become. I thought I would transform into some other person. Another being. Like a … Continue reading when I grow up…
yelling at trucks…
Late this morning as I was walking to my favorite local coffee shop for a workish meeting and a ridiculously good iced mocha a guy driving down the street in a landscaping truck sneezed loudly three times. I turned away from my phone (on which I was chatting while I strolled) and yelled "BLESS YOU!" … Continue reading yelling at trucks…
oh brother…
hello world…
Early in the morning on September 27, 2008 I wandered in through the front door and up the stairs to CubeSpace to attend the inaugural WordCamp Portland. It was a day of wonder, entertainment, and learning that would stick with me for years to come. It was very early on in my involvement in the Portland tech … Continue reading hello world…
like father, not like daughter…
My dad's birthday is coming up - less than a month away. As it's his first birthday in Portland, and the first birthday on which I'll have the chance to see him in more than 15 years, I wanted to do something special. I'd been racking my brain trying to come up with it and Sunday … Continue reading like father, not like daughter…
burble bring ring…
I'm notoriously hard on my electronics. I put them through hell and back with a detour to the Sahara which was rerouted through the Lost City of Atlantis. Some of my more memorable accomplishments include: Leaving my digital camera loose in my purse then setting it on the floor of the car to get stomped on. … Continue reading burble bring ring…
apparently I’ve reached an age…
I was born shortly after 8am on a Tuesday morning. By all accounts it was a quick and easy birth. I was a little early, but nothing at all to worry about and my parents were in the hospital less than an hour before I came quietly into the world. Oh, for all I know … Continue reading apparently I’ve reached an age…
ghosts of blog posts past: knowing…
In an attempt to clean things up I'm once again going through the posts that, for some reason, were never posted. Some of them are little stories, specific incidents, brief trains of thought. Others, like the one below from December last year, are like a long form vague tweet that months later not even I … Continue reading ghosts of blog posts past: knowing…
a lesson learned at comic con…
There are a lot of things one might expect to see, to do, and to learn at a comic con. Largely I believed they were about comics, horror, super heroes, sci-fi, or the human capacity to endure having their toes stepped on and torso bumped into in a crowd. I expected to see super heros, … Continue reading a lesson learned at comic con…
proof that we do, in fact, live in the future…
Like most people I'm not a fan of waking up to the sound of a buzzing, ringing, or beeping alarm clock, but still those damn things are so very much a part of our lives. I remember as a kid winding my pale pink bell alarm clock each night. Checking to ensure it hadn't wound … Continue reading proof that we do, in fact, live in the future…
