A Break.
I think I’m going to take a week or two off from writing (or trying to write) on here. I have roughly 4 half-written posts, one of which I accidentally pushed live last week for at least an hour, maybe longer. There’s just too much going on right now, too much uncertainty and change. I…

BlogHer Bag Tagline Contest.
I am totally and completely shocked my tagline wasn’t chosen for the BlogHer bag tagline contest. Only not really. Naturally, “Clique Here” didn’t make the final cut.

My Brother. He Lives in Beijing.
Did you know that my brother moved to China? It’s true. He lives in Beijing. He used to work on Wall Street. (Remember this?) Now he’s learning Chinese. (Mandarin, I think.) He has a blog. And he’s threatening to shut it down, which would suck because it’s really the only way I get to hear…

There is Something in the Air Today
The last time I had a strange sensation about a day, two planes flew into the World Trade Center. The thing about that was I never said it out loud and so I wasn’t sure if I thought I had the sensation ahead of time or if I decided I had the sensation ahead of…
