    Last September, Em’s school encouraged kids to enter something called “TV Turnoff”. They had the option of signing up for Gold (no TV or screens Sunday through Thursday); Silver (30 minutes per day, Sunday through Thursday); or Bronze (1 hour per day, Sunday through Thursday.) At the end of the year, if each kid stuck…

    We went to the Pride Festival this weekend and Em and Elliot had their faces painted. Also: I think figured out a way to update this blog a bit more regularly! I’m going to start using the WordPress app on my iPhone. I don’t get much in the way of time to sit down at…

    I got a flag. I hung it out front. I’m now that guy. When my brother saw my new flag he said, “Well, that won’t be relevant for very long.” And we both laughed and then we both sighed. Because, yeah. But who cares: GO TEAM USA!

    Hey internet, it’s me, the girl who can’t seem to find time to post. It’s been crazy around here lately. But I have a favor to ask, if anyone is actually reading this. I need your help.

    Walt was born yesterday at 6:50 PM. He was a whopping 9 pounds, 7 ounces, which is just crazy. He was the biggest baby born at this hospital yesterday. He’s doing well. I’m doing well. The labor and delivery went well. I will write more about everything when I’m back home and not on my…

    I first got word of the GitHub debacle via Twitter from friend, Derek Powazek. Basically, a woman by the name of Julie Ann Horvath was forced out of GitHub due to sexism and intimidation by one of the founder’s wives, a woman who doesn’t even work for GitHub. It’s a pretty convoluted story, but the above link does…

    On Monday night, Toby and I spent from midnight until 5 AM in the labor and delivery ward. It was a long night. I spent all day yesterday exhausted and trying hard not to cry. (I become an absolute mess on little to no sleep. Think doom and gloom and end-of-the-world scenarios and you have…

    “I’m nostalgic for conversations I had yesterday. I’ve begun reminiscing events before they even occur. I’m reminiscing this right now.” —Max Kicking and Screaming (1995) When I started this blog back in 2001, Toby and I were living in a 3,000 square foot loft in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Our bedroom overlooked the East River and all…
