I glanced down at the screen on my iPhone and noticed someone had changed my lock screen. Instead of an adorable picture of my kid and our cat or a sappy kissy-face picture of my boyfriend and me there was a mogwai with an animated caption reading "gremlin elevator". As I noticed the stairs ahead … Continue reading even in my dreams…
finding words where there aren’t any…
I don't mourn well. I don't know what to do with my hands. If I should say something or remain silent. If it's okay to laugh at a joke. I don't know what to do with myself amidst a heavy cloud of grief. Should I just let the tide wash over me and carry me … Continue reading finding words where there aren’t any…
where I learn something new…
Sunday night at 5:00pm and I sit on my sofa travel weary from the shortest trip - but bursting with information, processing the experience that was my weekend. Not a typical weekend for me, for sure, but one that will be more common in the coming months. The weekend was long. Confusing. Brilliant. Fun. Educational. … Continue reading where I learn something new…
when I grow up…
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…
