Tie One On Day Traditionally, tonight (in the US, anyway) is one of the biggest bar nights of the year. Everybody's home for Thanksgiving, no one has to work in the morning (save those of us who have to get up at dark-thirty ... Continued
False Confession Day I'm just tired enough that I'm interpreting this one as the day I'm supposed to walk into work and announce how much I love my job and I wish I could never have a day off again. Which is reality. And I really d... Continued
Absurdity Day I cannot tell you how much I love that this is a holiday. I choose to look at it as absurd-funny rather than absurd-painful, but it's up to you how you view it. And trust me...with the girls I'm dressing in thi... Continued
Surprised? I Am! Who would've guessed you'd actually get two posts in one day again?! To be fair, I'm cheating. I'm writing this well before you're reading it. I really should be sleeping right now, but I stupidly started a sys... Continued
National Adoption Day Again, a US-specific holiday, but one very dear to my heart. My oldest niece and her husband first fostered and then adopted three children. The kids have been with us almost three years now, and it has been th... Continued

Mickey Mouse Day You can take this one of two ways, really. Either celebrate the Disney character (which would be entirely appropriate, as my office manager is currently at Disney World with her daughter), or celebrate simplici... Continued
Apartment Security Made Easy With the Brinno Peephole Viewer We're all familiar with peepholes, right? That distorted fish-eye view of who is standing outside your door that makes them look like a cross between a Salvador Dali painting and a bad acid flashback? Yeah,... Continued
Good News and Bad News Neither of which mean anything to you, but which directly impact my life. The good news is, my replacement PowerSkin case for my HTC Thunderbolt arrived some time in the last few days, and it seems to be workin... Continued
Alarmio Keeps Your Gadgets Safe In my world, my laptop ends up sitting on a loading dock or other very public place about 80% of the time. Sometimes I have to walk away from it on short notice and don't have time to put it away. Which mea... Continued
Homemade Bread Day This is actually a fairly cruel holiday for me. As you probably noticed, I didn't have time to make a post at all yesterday, and the only reason I have time today is because I'm covering the office before I go ... Continued
