Take a moment to picture a software engineer. What is the image that comes to mind? A pasty guy sitting in the glow of a monitor, endlessly hacking away at his keyboard? Someone who is the lone wolf type, probably lacking in social skills? Strictly logical, and a little Spock like? A

It’s been a rough few weeks. I’ve been at work 60+ hours. I’m ignoring my own advice and not eating well. I’m not staying active. I’m not making derby practice. If I’m there, I’m exhausted before I even lace up my skates. My head isn’t always in the game. And that’s why I’ve

Me: Look, they have Fruit Ninja for Kinect! Him: I hate Fruit Ninja. Me: Why? Him: Because I suck at it.

Its new Who weekend! We finally are getting the second half of season seven and I’m stoked. In celebration, here are my five favorite Doctor Who episodes. I intentionally tried to leave off two parters and season finales. Because then it’s just too easy. I made an exception for The Empty Child/The Doctor

I’m going to level with you, dear readers. I hate self-help books. They evoke horrible memories of high school assemblies and bad Oprah episodes and turn me in to a twitchy mess. Roller Derby helped me through my divorce, yoga is helping me be more comfortable with who I am, I have

Growing up on computers has given me many things. An unyielding desire for information. A need to know how things work. A love for figuring how else I can make it work once it does. A career. A passion. It’s also given me horrible eyesight. And carpal tunnel at 26. I’m in
