I made my first trip to NYC this week. I wasn’t there long enough to see much of anything, just my hotel, and the 8 blocks between my hotel and the office. It was definitely an eye-opening experience, both in terms of how the newly merged company works, and about NYC.
I stayed in Manhattan – [...]
I walked into a stall in the women’s restroom at the office today, and there was a plastic spoon sitting on top of the toilet paper dispenser. I have no idea what it was doing there, but it seemed unnerving. What in the world could someone want a spoon for in the stall?
Truth is, I [...]
I spent most of this week in Scottsdale, Arizona at a sales meeting. Now I typically don’t look forward to those types of things, because I’m not on the sales staff, and I find myself tuning out as they talk about print marketshare. (OK, maybe not print marketshare. I think marketshare is interesting – I [...]
I’ve been paying a lot more attention to song lyrics lately (as you may have been able to tell by the fact that I was reading liner notes a couple of days ago…), so I’m probably going to post a few of them here that strike a special chord in me. If you don’t want [...]

Despite the fact that they break every best practice that I’ve learned for designing promotional emails, (They’re all images – very attractive on the surface but impossible to read without an HTML-enabled email program… but more about that will appear on [...]
In case you’re interested – I set up a photo page. Lots of fun.
Sometimes I think my blog is just turning into a whole collection of sites that I find to be interesting, entertaining, or flat out good ways to spend my time. This moment is no exception, as I proudly present Common Errors in English.
Not only does this give you the correct way to use words like [...]
Tara and I were talking tonight about relationships – and about how fast some of the relationships around us seem to move. People go from barely meeting to spending long weekends together in the course of a few weeks. I, for one, am not really that type. Maybe its because I’ve gotten burned before, but [...]
I decided to wear cute shoes today. Not ordinary cute shoes like chacos or slightly unique flip-flops. I wore actual cute heels, that have flowers on them. (Ok, so I got them from my massage therapist who thought they were ugly, and gave them to me to sell at a garage sale. But I thought [...]
