Despite it still ranging in the 60’s for we inhabitants of San Francisco, in other places the air is crisp and heated, smelling of fragrant summer berries and watermelon, lemonade and bikinis with the accompanying sun hats. The blue skies and once pale skins developing amber glows make people anxious for that thing we all ... Read More

I love sticky notes. I love how they come in a rainbow array of colors in their hermetically sealed little packages that now come not only in the eponymous square shape, but in rectangular, page size, thumb size and more. I love that the one defining feature between them is the small strip of sticky ... Read More

I believe the first words out of many a child’s mouth are “GIMME GIMME GIMME!” Not much has changed since entering adulthood – we still need, want and seek many things, often without any foresight as to how to get there or how to get it. We have our basic needs that must be fulfilled, ... Read More

Much like the Wide Email we reviewed earlier, EasyWriter gives all ... Read More

In the beginning, there was Friendster. Sure, Xanga may have created in 1999 the use of weblogs for personal identification and for, some could argue, self-aggrandizing purposes, but it wasn’t until the advent of Friendster in 2002 that a website was created primarily for the purpose of social networking, that ebb and flow of interchanging ...

We have many diets in this country. So many, in fact, we have to borrow names from other countries: The Mediterranean Diet, The Okinawa Diet, French Women Don’t Get Fat, and so forth. In a country of obesity escalating at such alarming rates as to be inappropriately deemed “an epidemic,” physicians and nutritionists have been ... Read More

The iPhone is an amazing creation. It holds so many things to do, and see, and write. Ah yes, the writing part. It seemed a bit strange, and perplexing to me, that while you have the option of rotating the phone 90 degrees to a horizontal landscape to better type in information on the Safari ... Read More
