Complicated feelings and observations about Hoods.

March 31st, 2008 · 1 Comment

Hoods are prevalent in modern society, much like the pocket. Hoods however, are not external, provide shelter, and allow misanthropes to hide in their comforting shadow. Sometimes hoods protect heads from raindrops and snowflakes. Throughout history, hoods in various forms have provided both sexes with the aforementioned protection. Another, more recent […]

The Lynx: Ferocious AND Adorable

March 31st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Look at that.
Now that’s a bad-ass motherfucker, as far as high-altitude forest-dwelling cats go.
Some argue that the Koala (pictured below) is in fact the most ferocious of adorable animals.
To that I say “With all due respect, sir or madam, those eucalyptus-gnawing branch munchers can suck it.”

re: sk*rt- the girl digg

March 31st, 2008 · 9 Comments

A couple of weeks back I was daydreaming and made an announcement to my boyfriend:  “They should make a digg for girls.”  To which he replied:  “What do you mean, there are girls on digg.”  And I thought this was a funny response, because as a girl I can tell that those stories on the […]

Operation: “Bazz”

March 30th, 2008 · No Comments

I want to glue together two useful open source Adobe AIR applications.
The Spaz Twitter application and The Bee Wordpress/Flickr desktop app, to be specific.
I think gluing these tools together and working it in with something like FlickrFan would make for a really useful app.
Want to beat me to the punch and become an hero?
Here’s the […]

My first Adobe Air App

March 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Adobe Air is really awesome.
I’m the only one who seems to be blown away w/r/t the idea of scripting desktop applications with XML/HTML/Javascript, etc, but seriously. It’s too cool.
But since nobody seems to be making absolutely unnecessary, inefficient, and totally worthless black hat Air apps, I present to you, my trusted readers, with:
The “Let’s […]

How to make your boss miserable.

March 28th, 2008 · No Comments

I am really already sick of working in Coporate America.  The idea of a “corporate ladder” is frustrating, divisive and ANNOYING.  Entry-level jobs are fucking shitty, but what makes them worse is the people you work with.  Your boss and co-workers feel entitled to treating you like less of a human, simply because they are […]

Why I still really love Twitter

March 27th, 2008 · No Comments

As shown above, Twitter reminds me that different people (even existing in similar communities), are:

Very different, and
Usually in different galaxies from one another in terms of emotion.

PS - As you can see below, I’m testing out Zemanta. Preliminary thoughts: so-so (and it’s fucked up that they automatically brand my post).

Transparency in Silicon Valley and the Lies of New York

March 27th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The code of transparency in Silicon Valley can get ridiculous. We all know this.
Company x announces a great idea, tries to get funding to create said idea, and bigger/faster company y steps up to the plate and kills them dead.
Sharing of information and progress makes things move faster and is better for the consumer, […]

All the ladies, who independent, throw your hands up!

March 26th, 2008 · 1 Comment

 
“Therein, lies the rub”- Shakespeare, I think?
Wherein lies the rub?  For women, it lies in stereotypes.  Women are not allowed to be smart and pretty.  They’re not allowed to think about their appearance and about politics.  They can’t be funny and smart and pretty.  People are surprised when pretty women also happen to be smart.  […]
