The manchild

Yeah. Work extra hours all week so you can have Friday off to do stuff before I fly home. Then lay around on Friday like the grinch crawled up your butt for no reason. Thanks. Can I have the man...

trophies for all

Throwing away time on Facebook, I scroll by a post from my old job saying they won an award for a web design. Naturally, I had to check it out to see how much of a loser I might be in comparison....

not quite a naturopath

I totally don’t think special healing clay is a cure-all for the ravages of all disease. But I am totally on board with natural things having their place and efficacy. I am on board because thing...


I love it when photoshop crashes. I have to hope my work was saved or a backup exists that I can restore when I relaunch the program. But that’s just my home PC. Doesn’t happen often. Costs me a ...

Waiting on the Mac... Again

I’ll never understand the apple fan boys / girls. I thought the majority of the blame lay in the network at work. Until yesterday when working on files that were local on my desktop. And it wa...


Volunteer: hey! Our president gave me the go ahead to start a blog on the website. Can you help? Me (the designer), to self: Oh that’s cool; someone else can generate ongoing content for the site...

mac fail, yet again

Wow Finder. One operation at a time? Really? And if I try more than one, just stop working altogether? Really? And when Finder stops working, the whole machine stops working, which means I stop ...

fail mac strikes again

Twice in one damn day. This is why I legitimately hate macs. Save a file, Photoshop stops responding, and then Finder crashes and burns with it. All that works next is a cold shut down. Twice it...

look alive, mac

Yup. Deadline in an hour and a half and all my time getting sucked up by the Mac as it decides to crash finder. Yet again. Seriously have never had as many computer problems as when Finder is inv...

mac hater

If I added up all the time I lose by sitting around waiting for my mac at work to remember how to do something, I think I’d have an extra week of vacation every year. And what is up with the deaf...

crappy hosting companies

Here they are: Bluehost, Justhost, 1and1, Godaddy, Network Solutions. This is based on my experience working with them. And here are the reasons why: Bluehost Slow, random downtime, and complete...

unnecessary drama

Here’s a thought… If you don’t want nude photos of yourself getting out, then don’t take any. Problem solved. This entry is brought to you by the random famous people who think the internet is a...

public restrooms

Why don't all public restrooms have music playing, or a waterfall, or a fan blowing, or pretty much any kind of white noise? It's the pinnacle of awkward trying to do your business in dead silen...

5 years

Isn't it odd how an age difference of 5 years can be so drastically wrong and completely acceptable at the same time? My husband and I are 5 years apart. We got together when he was 26 and I was...

Mmm...used food

I was on Amazon, poking around for some odd items not normally carried by grocery stores. I think it was coconut cream or something of that nature. And I saw the good old "12 new from $5" & ...


Why does every little thing I ever sign up for assume I want to automatically be added to their stupid email list? I don't. I never read that crap. I hate being marketed to. Bill Burr says it ...

vintage crap

I love Etsy. But I have to laugh when junk labeled with the magical word "vintage" is suddenly worth spending $50 on.

Don't you love the random freebie that's disproportionate to all the other crap you have to do to get said freebie? A few examples: Give us your email and choose a password to access this amaz...

waiting on the Mac #1

I hate Macs. I have to laugh at people who talk about them being fast. That's just hardware, people. For the price you'd drop on a Mac you could build something 3x better. But that requires...

Stuff that’s not long enough to go anywhere else, too long for twitter, and I just don’t feel like putting on facebook.
