The other night, I went to the opening of 21, with some local MIT alumni. My girl Charisse organized a get together of MIT folks to see a 21+ showing at the Arclight in Hollywood. No, there were no extra ‘adult’ scenes in the film, or anything. Arclight 21+ showings just have a bar outside [...]

This weekend, my friend (and fellow MIT Engineer ’89) Bill Cammack twittered about broadcasting live on his website. I moseyed on over, and found myself in a UStream/Skype/iChat audio/video experience with Bill, Tyme, JennTaFur and DarrenKeith. A few other folks came through as well. We initially started chatting with Bill via the Meebo chat widget, [...]

When talking to someone IRL, they decide to cut short the line of conversation with, “let’s talk about this offline.” Am I missing something? If we’re talking face-to-face or on the phone, aren’t we already offline? Who are these people who do not know the difference between offline and online? Maybe they need to revisit [...]

It’s basically a personality quiz that tells you which element from the periodic table you are, and then based upon the results of you and your friends, it [...]

Back in March 2003, I started my very first blog on one of those blogging services, and….just kept it moving. It feels a little odd knowing that a hobby of mine eventually turned into somewhat of a [...]

Last night I went to Twiistup 3, which is an event for startups and the people who love them. It’s a chance for LA tech people to get together, mingle and check out the featured startups of the night. I’ve never been to an event like this before, as I’ve been keeping quite the low [...]

Lately I’ve been tossing GlobalGrind.com around to some of my friends, asking their opinions and giving them a few observations of my own about the site. These particular friends of mine are Black, web-savvy individuals who run the gamut of designers, content producers, and/or backend developers. They know their stuff when it comes to the [...]

It’s that time of year again: the beginning of another academic semester. For me, hopefully this will be my last semester in school for a long time. Emphasis on long. I’m wrapping up a Master’s degree, and I don’t believe in having multiple Master’s degrees, so the only other option would be to get a [...]

I admit I am somewhat addicted to Twitter. Maybe it’s better to say I am a “heavy user.” Either way, my habits are fairly contrived, so I thought I’d give a rundown here, if only to document my habits and revisit them again in a few months. TechniqueI twitter using the web interface, Twitterriffic on [...]

Hi, I'm Liz!
I'm a sophisticated, educated, successful, career woman. An Orange County girl at heart (by way of rural New Mexico), trying to get used to living in Manhattan. It's a long story.
