I am a terrible person – but not for the reasons you may think. It turns out part of my terribleness is related to the fact that I only had three passwords or so that I used for the entirety of my presence on the internet. I had known this for years and years. I […]

Article – Living in a Data-Driven Society
I was not enamored of my current lineup of planned posts, so today I’m going off schedule and I found an article and a topic that interests me greatly. I don’t know if I ever mentioned it here, but I was a statistics major in college. In the process of taking my introductory statistics course, […]
App – Anylist
I hate shopping. Going to the store when there’s no purpose is my idea of torture, which is why I only go out when I need something. But even with hating shopping, it’s easy to get distracted and buy more than you need. Which is why you’ll find personal finance bloggers across the internet saying […]
App – Clue
If you’re a dude reading my blog and you’re not interested in hearing about periods, suck it up. Periods are a part of regular life for women, and whether or not they’re annoying, messy, inconvenient, or squick you out, they are something that 50% of the population deals with (past, present or future tense) for […]
Book – The Circle
My last book post of this week (which seems to have been a slightly pre-planned book week to catch up with all the reading I’ve done lately) is about the novel “The Circle” by Dave Eggers. I didn’t know a lot about this book going in, but my girlfriend H said she thought I would […]
Apps – Newsblur
I read a lot of blogs. I don’t know when that started, which is a lie, because the answer is late college and grad school. When I had a job for 20 hours a week in the library, there wasn’t always enough work work to fill the day, and often, I would be left twiddling […]
Services – Shutterfly Photo Books
I take entirely too many photos on trips. I wish that were an overstatement, but the truth is that I take about 1500 photos for every week that I’m away. And if I manage a two week trip, that means I’m coming home with an unmanageable number of photos. And the worst part is that […]
Service – Stitch Fix
I hate shopping. Actually, let me revise that – I hate going in to stores. I’m awesome on Amazon, and if I know my size in a particular brand – having visited in person recently enough to try things on – I’m terrific at buying appropriately sized things from those online retailers as well. But […]
Service – The Bouqs
I am a sucker for a deal. Ok, maybe not a sucker, but when I am offered a free thing, I like to find opportunities to take advantage. Free event? Yes – I am there. Free ice cream? Don’t have to tell me twice! So in a recent box from my wine club (which I’ll […]
Apps – Overdrive for Audiobooks and eBooks
As a librarian and lover of books, I’ve always been a faithful library user. And when I had a very long commute for my old job, I made sure to have plenty of audiobooks to pass my time. I would dutifully visit the library – picking up the CD clamshells of short story collections, epic […]
