My mom cut this comic out for me and taped it on my door. I thought it was relatively appropriate. Though, I would call it “Micro-bloggers anonymous,” personally.

So I’ve been watching Top Chef since before I left for college- I happened to randomly watch the first episode ever, enjoyed it, my mom likes it, and it’s provided a bonding experience.  After five seasons, I must have some pretty qualified opinions. So how about that reality TV? I like watching them cook the [...]

So one thing I haven’t blogged about since being 21- adventures with different exciting cocktails! I should probably start detailing things I try for the benefit of everyone else Tonight my family went out for our annual dinner in celebration of my late grandfather’s life. It’s something we do once a year to reflect on [...]

Here’s the recipe we used: 2 Cups Sugar 1/2 Cup Milk 1/2 Cup Butter 1/3 Cup Cocoa Powder- we used Ghirdadelli [...]

So my main project today: redesigning the Alight Learning website. You can check it out at: http://www.alightlearning.com So far the main feedback (from others and myself) has been: I need to fix the width Twitter doesn’t need to be at the top of every page Blog feeds need to pull to the first page I [...]

So, I apologize- I’ve been very behind in my blogging!  Right after the last entry I took a trip out to San Fransisco with my mom for the Adaptive Path “Managing Design Projects” Conference. I’m extremely glad I went- I learned a lot about how people consider project management, and some very helpful tools for [...]
