Shoving At the Comfort Line

I’ve been trying to figure out why it’s taken me so long to write a follow-up post to the “Where Do I Go From Here?” post and I’ve come to a couple of conclusions.

Amy Tucker Google Plus update

You know how there are some days you wish you could do over since you know you’d do them differently and better? Yeah. Yesterday wasn’t one of those.

At some point yesterday I happened upon the much discussed topic of a Gizmodo intern’s not-so-nice piece she wrote about the online dating site OKCupid and Jon Finkle. Huh? [Mom, I now read everything I write like you’re reading it and you’ll just have to follow the links.] I worried over the whole line of links… Continue reading Yucky and Dumb: Alyssa Bereznak, Jon Finkel and Lots of Links
