I LOVE Eggplant Parmegiana. No really. If I had to pick a last meal, that would be it. Complete with a side of lovely pasta and perhaps a brownie hot fudge sundae. But, I could stop at the main dish. I can't remember the first time I had it. I wish I could. It's the …
To My Burning Man Friends. I’ll Miss You. Come Back With Pictures.
My dear, dear Burning Man friends. By now you will be deep into packing mode. Or perhaps you're driving. Or maybe you're already on the Playa. I hear the first few days are the best if you know what you're doing. Uploaded with plasq's Skitch! For months you've agonized over your outfits, your gear list, …

Gimme a Graph and I’ll Tell You a Story
Have I mentioned lately that I'm a geek. No really, I'm a geek. I was on a date the other night and the guy looked at me at one point and said, "You're a real geek aren't you?" I took that as a compliment. But really, I'm one of a handful of people I know …
Dear Inner Monologue, Please Shut Up and Let Me Get on With it.
Is that inner monologue eating you up? Does the sense of "esprit d'escalier" plague you with the things you wish you'd thought to say the last time you encountered an ex-lover, current boss, or irritating friend? Many of us chatter to ourselves all the time coming up with great point/counterpoint dialogue to hash through past …

“Don’t Worry Mom, I’m Not a Hooker Yet!”
The best tagline I've seen on a website in awhile. I should steal it. Oh wait, I did. Wow, It's finally sunny in San Francisco so for no particular reason but that sunny makes me want to have fun (big breath), I bring you a silly #blogin5. Dye your hair. Eat dessert for breakfast. Paint …

Those Who Do and Those Who Talk about it.
This year I vowed to do it more. No, I'm not talking about sex. Although, that might be more interesting. But maybe not. Actually, this year I vowed to write more and publicly. I started my blog in October and have slowly gained the courage and inspiration to blog regularly thanks mostly to the positive …
.org Growth Strong in Down Economy

That's right, new domains grew by 7.6% in the first half of this year, more than doubling last year's first half of 3.2%. Check out the full story on …
Netflix on Vacations. I Rest My Case.
Following last week's controversial article on "Why Vacations Matter" I discovered this one by one of my favorite business authors Daniel Pink. Clipped from: http://www.telegraph.co.uk (share this clip) In reviewing the Netflix holiday policy (or lack there of) he sheds a very important lens on the relationship between freedom and accountability. For instance, ever more …
10 Reasons Why Vacations Matter
Wow, what’s with the furor about the first lady taking a vacation with her youngest daughter to Spain. After all she just went to Andalusia, a relatively inexpensive, unexplored by Americans, region in Spain (I wish she’d taken me with her). It’s not like she went to the South of France.
