Having admitted that I seek out a high level of stress, it's timely that I have, once again, gone way past the level of stress that I like to operate and hit the "woah this is damaging to my productivity" bit. I wrote before about How to be Crazy Busy Without Losing Your Mind and ...
I have spent a ridiculous amount of time this summer reading software licenses. Ultimately, a lawyer would have to be the final judge about what I can and cannot use, but it's helpful for me to know when it is worth taking to the lawyer at all. Depressingly, a little knowledge can often tell you ...

Among the (many) reasons I haven't been blogging lately, is the conference I attended at the weekend - CCWESTT, which stands for Canadian Coalition of Women in Engineering, Science, Trades and Technology. It was great - amazing speakers, enlightening talks, and the chance to spend time with some of the other execs from WISE. I left, exhausted ...
I've been thinking about being likable lately, because things seem to keep coming back to kick me in the head. Am I doing it wrong? Trying too hard? Not trying the right things? Not trying the right people? Over thinking all this? And then, well, I just offered to do a favor for a friend, E. ...
I love Google, I do. I wouldn't use another search engine and I use a lot of their other stuff as well. But I've been following the debate about privacy in Buzz (read this - if you doubt that the privacy issues are a potential problem, and this info for lawyers and journalists with useful ...
Given that my current project is all about engagement, it's probably not surprising that I'm more focused on engagement with my website than number of hits. Here's my SEO strategy: write content, post regularly, give pages different names, insert images properly. That's it. However the bounce rate is more interesting - that's the number of people ...
I meet a lot of people who are, or have a hankering to be, entrepreneurs. I don't, at all. Is that weird? I do, though, have a hankering to make stuff. And something that I've come back to multiple times is dating facilitation. I love matchmaking. I'm terrible at it, but I can't seem to stop ...
Last Friday I bought a car - it's winter and therefore the ski season, and I get a little crazy living in the cold if I don't ski. Skiing is the point of living somewhere cold, I think. On Monday I went to get my license exchanged. It was painless. I handed in my British one, ...
Now that my iPhone is unlocked (yay!) and has a data plan, I can play Foursquare. Which is exciting for me, but I know some people hate it and my boyfriend has been getting all angsty about giving up my privacy for nothing. The thing is though, I love tracking things. I track the applications I ...
This week, I've seen a website launched by a person in order to try and get a job at a specific company, and another website where someone used the word "princess" in their job description. And no, they aren't a high-class call girl. It's all making me a bit uncomfortable - and I know I'm not ...
