Behind on What I Wanted To write About: The Adobe-Omniture Deal

Two Disparate Veiws of Tech

Two Stories.  I’ve been thinking about them a lot because I recently finished “In The Beginning was the Command Line.” (Which is slightly more apropos for two weeks from now, but never-mind.) (The 2004 response from Slashdot, also great.) I highly recommend the essay, which can be gotten from Neal Stephenson‘s website, here.  It is [...]

quicky product review

So i finally got off thewaitlist for a product I really wanted to test. As in desperately.  Not sure even why.  This stuff is turning into my new crack.  And I am a nice kid who never even had pot.  And only drank legally in moderation.

Being Blunt

Ok, I’m female in this.  I’m gossipy and I like looking at my friend’s kids, and makeup, and parties.  Being slightly suspicious, and not male, the first one makes me suspcious.
