Changing the Present

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

If you ever find yourself buying a friend or family member a gift card because you have no idea what to get them, check out ChangingThePresent.com. You can choose a specific cause to donate to and they’ll even send out a personalized card via snailmail. This is a gift I would much rather […]

A hurricane in Seattle?

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

Since I moved to Seattle in August the weather has continued to be record breaking and insane!  We just had a very scary wind storm here late Thursday night.  I’ve been without cable for the past few days which means no t.v. and no internet.  Boohoo for me right?  Wrong.  There are thousands of people […]

Demo Girl

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Winelog.net vs. Bottletalk.com

‘Tis the season when wine flows like water. Unfortunately for me, buying wine for myself or to bring as a gift is never easy. I’m more likely to bring you a six pack of really good beer. I enjoy wine, I just don’t know what the heck I’m doing when I try […]

Techgirls

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

It is very interesting to me how much attention women get when they “get” tech. As an example I will use Natali Del Conte, a new writer at Techcrunch. I read techcrunch all the time, but it has become a bit catty. I usually read all the comments because it’s good to […]
