Actually, frat boys, morons, and people entirely lacking taste buds drink Natty Light. But thank you for so misjudging me, Facebook. Continue reading
I am definitely not arguing that this will bloom into a perfect or satisfying relationship, nor do I want to see that, but our Peggy Olsen is not being used, and she isn't a victim here. Continue reading

A mid-year check-in on my "Things that need to go away in 2009" post, to see how much progress we've made as a culture. Continue reading
In the spirit of my recent "Things that I bought that I love" tribute post, and with a nod to Arianna Huffington's "Bye-Bye 2008: Things I Want to Forget," here's a list of things which all sane and rational humans should resolve to avoid in this young year. Some are altruistic, some are practical, some tongue-in-cheek. But I'm deadly serious about them all. Continue reading
My boyfriend and I were waiting for a green line train this weekend, and noted this juxtaposition of a pair of spectacularly ill-conceived advertisements; each seemed determined to turn off its audience from their products/services in a singularly aggressive way.
First, let's look at AirTran. They've had some seriously bad press recently in regards… Continue reading

Perhaps these notices should come with more fanfare—or maybe just more details.
- I have a new job, finally! I'm a Web Service Manager in the External Relations office at Harvard Business School now.
- I have a teaser website up, for real. It's at http://positdesign.com. Incidentally, dating somebody who has copyright law on the the brain and can register trademarks at the drop of a hat is pretty fantastic!
I'm been neglectful but busy (today is the last day of my summer class, and I've two freelance webdesign gigs going), though I will be making more of an effort to keep this current. I'm definitely a nonstop information aggregator (as evidenced by my del.icio.us account!) and will try to post more frequently even if just commentary on other blogs or the news.I just registered for the Adobe
I love Harvard Square. I've worked here for over seven years, and lived in Cambridge proper for two of them. In that time, I've seen so much change. Just one shopfront in that time has transformed from PacSun to Abercrombie to a Citizen's Bank. And the banks—they are taking over. There are so many banks in the Square that soon there won't be any place to spend money.Just this year… Continue reading
I am so excited about the status of the portfolio site, which I'm using as a final project in my Web Development class, and I haven't even written a line of code yet. It has a name, an architecture, and a color scheme. I'm delighted with how my two classes are intersecting. Continue reading
As the end of the semester rapidly approaches for my Website Development class, I am turning toward my final project proposal. I plan to use this course to force myself to design, develop, and go live with a portfolio-of-sorts website: a showcase for my art, illustrations, paintings, photos, sketches, design projects, etc. Problem is, I'm stuck on what to call the website. Continue reading
This can't be copyediting because this isn't English. How do you generate a template for text that does not conform to any known linguistic patterns, a stylesheet for an anti-grammar? I'm taking a break from a massive freelance-consultant project to bemoan the fact that techies cannot write. This is a dangerous blanket assertion, and one that begs proving-wrong. Continue reading
Here's another small voice adding itself to the whirlwind.
That's not quite accurate—my voice has been here in the blogosphere all along, for the past six or seven years, in various other guises. I'm starting anew for several reasons. The most relevant (and the simplest) is that as I attempt to build a career for myself, as I feel out what I want to do and where I want to be… Continue reading
