I’d been waiting for this for a week or more, ever since I saw Steve had stopped posting on social media and was in hospice care after a long and hard-fought illness. Steve was a colleague, more than a friend, and someone, honestly, I’d had conflict with at one point,( for reasons that make no… Continue Reading
When my current mattress started to fail, I got rid of the crappy bed frame and put it on the floor, but that wasn’t a long term solution—we needed a new bed and a more stable bed frame. Our king-size latex mattress that had been moved too many times and kind of taco’ed and bent… Continue Reading
Since the news that Donald Trump has been elected the 54th President of the United States, I’ve been moving between anger, denial and resistance. It seems hard to believe that 54% of the women in the US—mostly college-educated, white women, to be specific—chose to vote for a man who is inexperienced in government, uneducated, a… Continue Reading
Today was a busy day for cooking and food prep. The kids are here this weekend (10 and 17), and will be here all week, so I wanted to shop, prep, cook and offer food that they would both like, and that would meet the Sweetie and my needs in terms of being healthy and… Continue Reading
Since I’ve started becoming a pretty committed cook, I thought it might be cool to start a cooking journal, where I could share my experiments, thoughts about food, aspirations, etc.- for myself, but perhaps for a few close others as well.

Writing about social media, RS feeds, search, structured data and the user behavior was my thing, and it seemed not that many women were in the field in those days. Partly to prove a point, and partly because I am (and have always been, a… Continue Reading

Keeping a weekly list to share; please add your best reads in a link and/or comments: Moving forward on basic income, Elizabeth Rhodes, Matt Krisiloff, and Sam Altman, YCombinator. Can basic income work in the US? These folks want to test in my town, Oakland, CA. “We want to run… Continue Reading
After 3 months of taking it easier, heading back into full on #workout mode and sharing here for accountability. Starting my 4th Whole30 today and committing to moving and working out 4-6 times a week. Goals Drop 20 lbs by September 1. Get the heart rate up significantly every day for at least 5 minutes… Continue Reading
Last February, I did my first Whole 30. I’d been working out, but not really losing much weight, and I was terrified of my own eating habits, which didn’t seem to be helping me become trimmer or feel better. I was also worried about the levels of inflammation in my body, the blood sugar levels,… Continue Reading
Woke up this morning and cried on learning the amazing David Bowie has died of cancer at age 69. For me, Bowie was one of the artists who was never afraid at a time when I was very afraid, in so many ways: of being queer, of being different, of being someone my family of… Continue Reading
