I had never been to a hockey game before, but thanks to eBay (my first time on eBay, believe it or not), I scored tickets to the last weekend Sharks game which was sold out. … I thought it was amusing that when a player commits a penalty, they are confined to a clear “box” called the penalty box, like being grounded or wearing a dunce cap facing the corner of a wall.

Last month, I went on a staff overnight retreat for work. After a ridiculous number of pit stops before we were actually on our way in our party van with 12 seats, we got distracted by some sea otters hanging out in the water on the way to Phil’s Fish Market for lunch. [...]

I happened to be in San [...]

I recently attended the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women In Computing Conference in Orlando, FL. Nearly 1,400 women who were undergraduates, PhD students, faculty, staff, and other working professionals gathered to discuss technology and changing the future through computer science, information technology, research and engineering.

Yesterday at around 5:45pm, a good friend of mine called me telling me she had a question that she thought I would be able to answer. I thought she wanted directions to a place as a few of my friends and I often call each other for directions hoping that the other person is [...]

Yesterday was the Mac OS X Leopard Launch. I’m excited to try out the new features of Mail.app, Time Machine, and Spaces, but I haven’t gotten my copy yet. However, I found it somewhat amusing that an hour before the official worldwide launch I got an email from the “Worldwide Developer Relations” team [...]
