Ahhh, robots! More pics by Ben Heine here.
It’s two days before Christmas and I know there are some of you who have yet to check who’s been naughty or nice. Since it’s my day off and I am nothing but lame to geek out on the interwebs at a coffee shop with my dear friend Ashley, I’ve come up with a few last minute unisex gifts for the techies on your list. Bonus: No facing or tackling crowds required!

Since my last post, I’ve been hiding out in my apartment practicing my Dance Central moves on the XBOX Kinect. Just kidding, or am I?
What I’ve really been doing is experimenting life without the internet. WTF, you say? To my surprise, it’s not quite the FML package I imagined. It all started with my rage against Comcast for increasingly outrageous costs that ultimately could not be remedied with a phone call to their customer service department. After living in the comfort of multiple 6-month free and/or discounted trials, I could no longer justify a $100+ monthly variable cost for cable and internet. So here I am, internet-less in Seattle.
As I grow accustomed back to my pre-Internet childhood days, I am slowly realizing the re-adoption of activities that once served as daily habits. I’ve decided to create a random list of the little things that keep me entertained sans interwebs. I welcome all of your suggestions. Continue Reading…
Me and Kinect. It was love at first facial recognition.
Today, I spent approximately two hours of my life waiting in line for a product. By choice (and, it wasn’t designed by Apple). Why?
Because XBOX has taken gaming to the next level with their newest addition, Kinect. Here is the documentary of my “Kinect Journey” and why it was worth sacrificing my poor feet and lower back to get my hands on the hottest gaming device. Continue Reading…
Hugh, me, & Steve @ W hotel. I blame the poor photographer for the blurry pic and demonic eyes.
I enjoyed one of the greatest tweetups of my life.
Last Friday, I had a minor surgery which kept me indoors for almost a week. I may not live in New York City, but my quaint 650 square feet condo is an easy gateway to cabin fever.
So when my colleague Steve Clayton a.k.a. @stevecla invited me to a tweetup, I jumped at the opportunity to reconnect with the real world. But I was not prepared to mingle face to face with one of the most fascinating cartoon artists I know. Continue Reading…

Yesterday, I celebrated my 5 years at Microsoft. The tradition is to bring in a pound of candy for each year served, so I’ve already burdened my team with consuming 5 pounds of M&Ms to start their week. Since I can’t share the love with everyone, I thought I’d share 5 sweet lessons in lieu of candy. Continue Reading…
I was strolling around my neighborhood today and finally stumbled into Elliot Bay Book Store. In a world where Kindles and paperbacks coexist, it is nice to be reminded of the satisfaction that comes from turning the page of something delightfully tangible. (I mean, look at this picture. These are short, hand written reviews of each book. How amazing!)
Shoot me if bookstores like this ever go extinct.

Not many people know about my participation in one of the most influential experiences of my life, particularly because I already have a really goode job. But this is different. It is an opportunity of a lifetime to pursue a career in digital media, to which I have been gravitating toward since graduating from the MCDM program. My friends and family have been following my updates on Facebook, where I have been showcasing my experience through my “selected” group of social networks.
Then, I’ve finally decided to break my silence.
Why? Because you have to walk to talk you preach. I am a huge social media advocate, but as an average Jane (just like you), I am always learning how to manage my online identity and exposure through content. The truth is, social media is about transparency–a glimpse into content that isn’t meant to be controlled. So, here we go.
I'm a lover of all things vintage, football, chapstick, food, photography, creative people, conversations, and hugs ♥ Here you will find a collection of ideas, recipes, photos, and inspirations that stir my soul. I like to feed people and make them laugh. //Read more
