the many faces of skype
Ever wonder where those cute little emoticons come from that you use when you are chatting away? Well, there is a secret lab hidden at Skype in Tallinn that consists of a few very talented graphic designers who make those funny little guys. I had noticed that sometimes when hanging out with one of these […]
why i blog
Why do you blog? This is a question that comes up time and time again from people so I thought I’d set the record straight. First off, when I started nerdgirl.com – back in 1997 – there was no such thing as “blogging”. In fact, I am old school and really don’t like the term […]
hasta luego danny
Was just talking to Giles about Danny and thinking about the days when we used to go to lunch together every day. We used to take about 2 hours that usually consisted of a lot of beers for the boys and a lot of vino for me. And we didn’t call them lunches. Danny named […]
congrats kermit
My girl, Nygina (aka Kermit), is having a baby of her own. To join the legions of The Others: Stephy Rice, Maria, Erica, Missy, Jory, Annya, Heather, Malthe, Duncan, Carter, Tom Cruise…you get the idea. Just remember that Auntie Steph doesn’t babysit until the kids are of drinking age.

things i’ve been reading
I’ve seriously had a bad case of A.D.D. lately and have been starting to read books and then never finishing them. Unless they are of the completely and totally third-grade level reading material. I have no idea what is wrong with me. I pick up a book and then I instantly fall asleep. Things that […]
fuerzabruta and the old country
Had a rather interesting Friday evening out with Arlie and William. Began the evening with William – who recently became my hero by quitting his job at Skype in the heat of the moment – and I meeting Arlie at the Tottenham Court Road tube stop post work carrying a bottle of champers (his going […]
tickets money passport
This is where I get it from. I have to say it every time I am running out the door to the airport and it really works. I wish that we could have another series of Ab Fab. I mean what else in life is worth watching over and over and over?
looking for my man
A track by our beloved Vodka Doll. If you listen carefully in the middle of the song you will hear my voice. This was recorded one hungover day in the gayest hotel in Barcelona while Roley took a poop in the shower. powered by ODEO
