What's the first image that comes up when you Google your name? If you Google me under images, you get this picture of my family at my Grandpa Ed's memorial service.

QotD: It Was Kismet
How did you meet your current, or most recent, significant other? The day we met, May 1, 2005, right before I got on the plane I'm certain I was in love with Enrique by about 2 p.m. the day we met, if not earlier. Enrique and I met three months before we started at Yale.… Continue reading QotD: It Was Kismet

I've visited Sarah on Vox and caught up with her life. She's friends with the Chicago friends I lost touch with, though I didn't mean to, but… Continue reading Avoidng bedtime
Dotster’s sexist PR stunt
Dotster_Dots_Group It's not the fact that a trade show has booth babes: that's nothing new. It's that the Dotster Dots are "several of the most important women on the Internet."
