Three years ago, as I prepared to move to London for four months to study abroad, I got a text message from my then good friend Sarah (unfortunately, we’ve all but lost touch). It said, “remember to live in the moment and grow where you’re planted.” It was great advice, though I didn’t heed it [...]
Lately, I’ve heard a lot of chatter about whether or not you should ask someone what they “do” at social or networking events. I first had this conversation (debate?) with the very cool Mike Davis, after meeting him at an event and promptly proceeding to ask him what he does. “I hate that question,” Mike [...]
Tonight I’m making this incredibly delicious potato salad my good friend Roxanne’s mom (Linda) makes. I’m pretty sure she didn’t make up this recipe, but since she’s the one who introduced it to me, it shall hereby be known (in my book) as ‘Linda’s Potato Salad.’ The first time I had this recipe was on [...]
Tomorrow morning (dark and early), I’m hopping on a train down to New York City for the Web 2.0 Expo. I’ll mostly be hanging out at booth #1822 with our client, Berlin Partner. Come find me there, or check out my Twitter stream to figure out where I am. Hope to see you there!

Dear Child: Here is your London. Proper, polite, spit-spot London. Funny-hat, mushy-peas, good-dog London. Loverly, brisk-walk, chin-up London. If we went there, Mabel and Gus, Or Buster and Violet, This is what we would see, (and we could discuss it over tea). I don’t think it’s possible for me to adequately put into words why [...]
If you’ve never heard Russian spoken by a tiny, green-eyed Russian woman, then you probably have no idea how lovely a language it really is. My love affair with Russian began not long after I first heard my boyfriend’s mother prattling away on the phone in her native tongue. Before that, I thought of Russian [...]
Well, hello there. My, it’s been long time, hasn’t it? I’ve been somewhat neglectful of my blog for a few weeks now, mostly because I went on vacation and took a self-imposed “social media break.” But also because my good friend, Matt Knell, and I have been up at odd hours working on classing up [...]
