Ok, so it’s been a while since I’ve updated my blog so now catching up on it — here’s an interesting one found just outside a bar in San Jose in California, USA; granted, it was also next to a kids playground, which makes it all of a sudden relevant 🙂
First “Happy Easter!” card I got from my niece – ever! 🙂 If you look closer, it DOES read “Happy Easter, Liv!” — honestly 🙂
I’m broadcasting this on all channels at the moment, just so I can get the attention of the guys in Carbonite and hopefully get this feature added to their (otherwise excellent!) software. So if you’re a Carbonite user and you find this feature I’m asking for is worth anything, would love some feedback on this […]
Today I have been one of the dumbasses who end up typing the URL of a web page in the Google search box and hitting ENTER without thinking.

I heard previously of “specialized dating” — from married people seeking extra-marital affairs (ahem!) to “positive dating” (no comment) and […]
