I waste time dwelling on how not to waste time. Do you?

If President Obama can (ba)rock the Mom Jeans, then Cool Baby most certainly can.

What better place to put your garbage than high up for everyone to see?

The first of a series of money-saving, junky ways that we’ve made our NYC apartment a home.

New York keeps transforming me into someone I don’t even know anymore. But at least I still have great taste in pants.

I love cheesecake. Chocolate, pumpkin, topped with berries – just about any kind, I’ll happily devour. I hear that in some secret places around the USA, there are “cheesecake factories,” where you can go in, sit at a table, and order these wonderful cakes of cheese and receive them within 10-15 minutes. Unfortunately, you have to pay a tip, which of course keeps us away.
Today, the Cool Grand ‘Rents treated us to New York-style cheesecake from a bakery around the corner. It was decadent. Smooth, dry, rich. Cool Mum got …

On my way home last night, I was in the best mood. I think I smiled either on the outside or the inside the whole time. Sadly, it was for the most geeky reason.
Under my arm was tucked a box from Newegg.com that contained my first 1 terabyte hard drive.

Cool Mum researches New York stuff. I blog or catch up …

Every day, I edit 6-8 blog posts, on top of writing a couple here and there. Obviously, from yesterday’s news, those posts aren’t coming up here! So what’s up with the blogging two-timing?
I have a part-time job as a writer/editor for a blogging community site. My life seems to be all blogging.

As I walk down the street, I look for things to blog about.
On the subway, I rack my brain for good blog questions.
At night, I hug a life-sized Seth Godin body pillow to inspire my blogging ability while I …

OK, we’ve known each other long enough that we can be honest, even if it means getting a little personal.
A notebook computer and a wireless network is a match made in Heaven. Complete freedom to use the technological miracle of computing wherever you’d like. On the couch. At the dinner table. And like so many bad fortune cookie jokes end: in bed.
Anywhere in the house that the wireless signal can you reach, you can compute. However, have you crossed the line? You know, that line.
