Yahoo! Developer Day Conference
It is hard to remember not to make any mention of pants, even if I know what it means in British English. Beyond telling Murray Rowen that I liked his underwear in front of a crowd of people, I recently went to London to speak at the Front-end Summit being held there. I gave two…

Stubbornella joins the exceptional performance team at Yahoo!
Today was my first day at Yahoo. I spent most of the day in orientation but I am already impressed with the culture. People seem genuinely happy and able to make working hard a part of living well. And damn they’re smart! Fabulous well-rounded geeks. I know, I know, it sounds like I’ve been drinking…

I finally tried a Segway!
I’ve wanted to try one for years, and i finally got the opportunity today. It rocked every bit as much as I thought it might. Hugo noticed that the “turtle” speed was indicated. I found that it was pretty zippy, which makes me wonder what it would be like on the normal setting.

BBC Sex I.D. test
I finally got my results from the slightly broken (only test 6 and the results section) BBC brain sexID test. It turns out I am 50% male, 50% female. Not that much of a surprise, I may be a carpenter, but I still love pink.

Why don’t you challenge the trimming?
I’m soaked, the bathroom is soaked, several towels are soaked. Yes, my bichon has had a bath. I’ve learned to wash him without wearing any pants because I end up so wet that my clothes are unsalvageable. He is a bichon fortement type. Which means he really looks like a bichon frise. This makes me…
