    Interesting Innovation

    I saw this article on Fast Company’s website about a new innovation in the coffee shop world. Pretty interesting. I think the stuff that will hold it back will be that companies will be reluctant to give up their brand image being so clear. As much as Starbucks likes you to save the environment by…

  • The World is all a Twitter

    The World is all a Twitter

    I find the concept of Twitter to be a bit confusing at times to be honest. I joined Twitter originally last Spring (2009) and was so freaked out by my lack of control over the information flow that I quit. I like to manage my digital identity and I felt like I couldn’t get a…

    Small thoughts…

    I’ve blogged recently about my new found love of Greek Yogurt. I’ve also admitted that I have no preference and little to zero knowledge about how to buy yogurt. You’d think after stating this twice (if not more), I would have done some research. Nope. Well today, I’m in Philadelphia and I stopped at a…

    Ponder this…

    I’m sitting on the train right now and they have just passed out snack mix. I know for certain that that woman across from me does not like almonds or the little weird nutty cracker strips. I also know that she likes all the parts of the mix that I don’t like. Thankfully, we both…

  • Everybody needs goals

    Everybody needs goals

    I have a significant soft spot for statistics. Wait, let me be clear. I have a soft spot for reading and reporting statistics – not the statistics that tormented me my sophomore year of college. So, when you have access to the code of a website you can get install Google Analytics code on the…

  • … and then my friend came to visit

    Yesterday I was lucky enough to have a special visitor at my apartment for a few hours. My friend’s Dave and Lara have this incredible dog named Dwight. He was an awesome dog when I first met him more than a year ago, and an even better dog now that he has only 3 legs.…

  • Lost Kitty 🙁

    I’m sure you’ll tired at some point of me talking about my building and the daily events. But I probably wouldn’t stop, even if you told me. Yesterday there was a lost cat in my building and I was so taken aback by its presence that I went and got my flipcam so I could…

  • What really?

    This girl makes me feel like an underachiever. I need to work on learning to balance 15 books on my head, solving a Rubik’s Cube, and reciting the pi bizness. Don’t worry. I’ll continue to post videos of home fix-it projects, lost cats, and broken elevators…

    My afternoon snack

    In the past few months, I’ve become a fan Greek yogurt. I love it. I’m a novice – so I’ll eat just about any kind … but its fabulous. The other day I saw this delicious recipe in Women’s Health mag for a yogurt parfait. I can’t find the recipe online … otherwise I’d share…

  • My lovely abode

    Some of you may be familiar with where I live… others not. Well, I currently live in graduate housing – but essentially its just apartments that the apartment leases and then leases to me at a rate that can only be a loss for them. Whatever. The building is an eclectic bunch and I feel…
