I'm playing around with the new sixdegrees fundraising badge I've set up for GalaxyGoo. It's hard to tell yet, but the ideas seems pretty cool. Basically, people can set up these web widgets with lists of non-profits that they want to help raise money for. The coolest part, is that once a "badge" is created, others can copy it and raise money as well. I'd like to see the networks this creates,

Living in a city, you have to expect to see an occasional accident or pull over to let emergency vehicles pass by, with flashing lights and waling sirens. But yesterday's rampage was like something out of a bad movie.On a family outing, our path was barred by police cars and yellow tape, closing off all but one lane on a long block of Divisadero. A few hours later, we had to go around another

The blogathon is almost here! I'll be blogging over at the galaxygoo.org blog, along with other Flash coders, to benefit the non-profit organization GalaxyGoo. We'll be posting experimental Flash projects every 30 minutes, for the 24 hours of the blogathon. Some have a science or math twist, others will be computational art, and still others will be both.The fun starts at 6am (pacific time) on

In my mind, Michael Jackson will now and forever be associated with the dentist's drill. Sitting in the Dentists chair today, typical easy listening music played in the office. My dentist numbs my gums, and starts to drill. That little cavity will soon be gone.When she pauses, the music is gone and the sound of a very formal voice is in the middle of reading aloud a verdict...something about

My friend Vera has a new blog called Dragonfly Psychic!By a strange coincidence, we both chose very similar design templates for our blogs. I really like the dragonfly icons she's added.

Emily Hambidge caused a bit of excitement in the blogosphere today, with her article about dating a developer. I told my husband about it, and his immediate response was to laugh and say "but what if you're wife's a geek?"We came up with some perks to having a geek for a wife:1. Tons of free T-shirts, since they almost never give away T-shirts that are small enough for me to wear. One exception

Sitting in the dentists chair, I wondered why there was artwork on the wall but not on the ceiling...after all, I spent most of my time in that room looking up at the ceiling while my teeth were getting scraped. Come to think of it, why don't all dentist and operating rooms have something interesting to look at on the ceiling. It sure would make the patient experience less boring. Yes, boredom

Well, since I've been blogging for years on GalaxyGoo, I figured it was time to finally start up a personal blog.What will I post about? Whatever pops into my head, and doesn't fit on the GalaxyGoo blog. Probabaly a lot about food, since that's one of my favorite things in the world :-)
