I have a special place in my heart for Venn diagrams because I’m the daughter of a math dork who invented curriculum around them. Anyway, a friend of mine turned me on to a new website today which cracked me up. Indexed, in the words of the author, is “a little project that lets me [...]

Two more childhood items being mined for the present:
CBS is looking to make an updated version of… Hawaii 5-0. And they’re referring to it as “Hawaii 5-0 2.0″ which is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. More details here, with awesome snarky comments.

I decided to do something new today – the weather is simply gorgeous and I was tired of puttering around the apartment. So I took myself to the San Jose Heritage Rose Gardens. It’s kind of a weird place – just rows and rows of roses. But what makes it even odder is that it’s [...]
