Sometimes keeping up with my email feels impossible. I subscribe to lots of email newsletters, I follow lots of blogs and news sites, and I want to keep up with family and friends. Because of this, my email inbox tends to overflow each day. Yes, I could unsubscribe to some stuff but I’m a … Continue reading Crazy Inbox Overload + Unroll.me
So as you’ve probably noticed by now, I’m a huge nerd. Besides having an unhealthy obsession with technology, in particular I REALLY love cell phones. Before smart-phones became all the craze I used to switch non-smartphones (also known as "dumbphones") almost every other month. A dumbphone is basically a flip phone...a Razr...any phone you probably … Continue reading Procrastination + iPhone 5 Unboxing
What a summer! As Emilia, mentioned, we both made some big changes. After five years at Google (and the last three months spent in the London office), I decided to try something new and join the start-up world.

In fact, text messaging has repeatedly been shown to be the single most overpriced consumer product … Continue reading Staying Connected + WhatsApp Messenger
Since I live in a different city from almost all of my close friends and all of my family, I’m always looking for ways to keep up with their lives while we’re apart - whether that means Facebook, Google+, video chats, phone calls, email, or the occasional snail mail. Within the last few of weeks, … Continue reading Keeping in touch + Facebook "Lists"
Like most women, I’m on a perpetual search for ways to stay in shape. Sitting at a desk all day and doing everything in your power to avoid the box of donuts in the breakroom can certainly be mentally exhausting, but in the end we all need to find something that keeps us physically active … Continue reading Marathon Training + Endomondo Mobile App
This past weekend I was in beautiful Amsterdam with my husband and two friends. It was everyone’s first time visiting so a few weeks before the trip I started searching for recommendations for restaurants, bars, and neighborhoods. We tend to keep the traditional tourist attractions to a minimum but I wanted to see if anything … Continue reading Amsterdam + Custom Google Maps
I recently experienced an extremely stressful life event. No, I didn’t get married or divorced. And no, I didn’t lose my job or have to cram for final exams. I moved. Those of you that have moved and haven’t completely blocked the … Continue reading (Selective) Photo Sharing + Google+
