Get Smart. Get a Vespa.

If you’ve known me for long or read my Bucket List, you know that I don’t drive but I plan to learn this year.
Well the price of gas combined with the facts that I’m a new driver so my insurance rates will be astronomical and I’m a geeky quirky girl at heart have led me [...]

Digital ADD (Digital Attention Deficit Disorder) - I has it.

Digital ADD. I don’t know if this term has been coined by others (I imagine it has) but that’s what I’m suffering from today. Actually I’ve been suffering more and more from it over the past year or two.
Right this moment, I have Firefox open with 18 tabs: Gmail, Google Reader, Meebo, Google Docs, Twitter [...]

Morning Music: Oceans

I first fell in love with Rob Dickinson’s voice when he sang with Catherine Wheel and I’ve been a fan ever since.

Rollin’ with the punches…

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”
Are you the type of person who can roll with the punches? or are you the sort that freezes up with a plan goes awry?
I’m not sure if I’m a roll with the punches sort by nature but I’ve had to learn the skill [...]

How did you spend Earth Hour?

So there was a lot of buzz this week leading up to Earth Hour. From what I understand there were events, concerts, and celebrations in some areas.
