Life in Kana-text (er… CONtext)
When my husband Keoni and I met (in Rehab, of all places!) he was 52 and I was 34. We tend to get reactions from people when we’re out arm-in-arm; it’s an inverse bell-curve, where reactions are heavily loaded at the ends of the spectrum rather than the middle. He either gets fist-bumps, or snide … Continue reading Shifting Paradigms & Half a Pair’o’Dimes
“Get a God,” I hear repeatedly in the rooms of A.A. “If you don’t get God… You’re wrecked. Your own 'best thinking' got you here, so you'd better get God and follow directions.” I'm told my God can be anything, anything at all with power higher than my own—“hell, even a doorknob,” an old-timer smirks, … Continue reading In the Market for a Maker
Galileo and Newton measured linear time with pendulums and water clocks—and that type of time measurement is one I can wrap my head around. Einstein had more flexible ideas about time and relativity, and though I confess the physics of Einstein-time are fuzzier to me, there has to be something to it, just based on … Continue reading A Smashmatician Ponders Relative Time
It's been a day of Dragons in our household.

Unlike alcohol (for which I DO go to meetings), my stats addiction doesn't turn me Stupid. (At least, I don't think it … Continue reading Confessions of a Statistics Slut
If you don't do your blogging from an iPad, there's one thing you might not realize about your WordPress blog. The "default settings" on your blog are programmed to send iPad viewers to a specialized "mobile view" of your blog called OnSwipe--and (speaking as an uber-frustrated iPad reader-of-blogs) the OnSwipe view is CRAP. So I … Continue reading Blogger Call to Action: Please Help Me Happy-Dance
Why is it...that when our digital devices are syncing, we don't throw them life preservers? Why is it...that everyone has a "bucket list" of things they want to do, but nobody talks about the Fuckit List of the shit they've decided not to bother with? Why is it...that people don't come with the "Cool" button … Continue reading Hunting for Answers in Pink Camo: Why is it…
