    As someone pointed out on Gothamist, the flyer I wrote about below was NOT created by Wal-Mart and instead created by a group called Wal-Mart Watch. Had I read the entire flyer and visited the Web site prior having written both Jake at Gothamist and the post below, I’d have realized that they seem to…

    (Edited to add: I have written a public apology for the post below.) I exited the 4/5/6 today. The usual groups of people were standing outside Grand Central handing out menus, free rags, and the latest giveaways, whatever they cold pile on a passerby. They’re like attack fish, these people. I usually ignore them. Today,…

    After reading what Charlie wrote in the comments section below, I did a little more research and discovered that the whole “put your wet cell phone into a bag of cat litter” has quite a bit of history behind it. I read that several people have used the little moisture deterrents they usually store in…

    I have gone into technological remission. For weeks now, I have lost my desire to surf the Internet, email people I should ultimately be calling, watch TV, read blogs, check RSS feeds, and send text messages. I’m not sure why this has happened or when, really. Suddenly, I had just realized that the loop I…

    Tobyjoe and I checked out the New York City Tattoo Convention today. It was pretty outstanding. A New York City favorite, Adorned had a booth who is the most likely candidate to complete my tattoo. Fly Rite and Mike Rubendall were there as well. There were tattoo artists from all over the world, actually. I…

    You might not know it just by looking at him, but Tobyjoe says, (and I quote) “I aspire to be the bear on the Sleepytime tea box.” He means it.

    I simply could not resist taking a walk up to 57th and Fifth to check out the Apple Store Maddness . I heard word that there was a line. Behold, there was. If you’d like to see some more shots, you my do so by clicking here.

    For over four years, I used blog software built by my husband. As many of you know about two weeks ago we moved mihow.com over to Typo. It’s a great package for the most part. It’s easy to use and the templates are well designed. I haven’t run into too much weirdness or frustration using…

    Tonight, Tobyjoe and I were given the chance to see Mary Gaitskill read from her latest novel Veronica at BAM. Several weeks ago we saw Jonathan Letham read there as well. On both occasions, we had an excellent time. Recently, we read Mary’s first book over on Spread. I was really looking forward to seeing…

    Replace “henpecked bookworm” with “henpecked computer geek”. Swap Burgess Meredith with Tobyjoe Boudreaux and you have yourself one heck of a modern day remake. not my shot It’s underground, people.
