The next next generation

March 18, 2010

When it comes to technology, I consider myself quite tuned-in. I read my daily TechCrunch, Valleywag, Boing Boing and Engadget.

September 28, 2009

Today I learned to drive a stick shift! =) AP taught me on REAL streets! With a REAL car! And I didn’t crash or hit anyone and I only stalled twice (okay, maybe three times. I can’t remember). I’m amazed at how quickly you can learn something new. Even impromptu. And so I came up […]
