If you or an equally awesome friend is looking for an apartment in San Francisco (starting mid August to Sept 1), a room is about to open up in my apartment. It’s a three bedroom in San Francisco that I share with two other people, and one of them (Jenny) is starting grad school and moving into school housing.
In Duboce Triangle (seriously great, super walkable neighborhood with tree-lined...

The plastic buttons we push
I earn my living—the food I eat, the apartment I sleep in, the books I read, etc. — by pushing plastic buttons all day long.
It’s the same with most of my friends.
I push a lot of buttons. There’s a trick to pushing them in the proper order, but no one way is “right” and everyone pushes their buttons differently. In fact, the order in which they push their...

A few weeks ago at work I came back to my computer to find someone had google searched “hot air balloons.” I found this odd, but I ignored it and went about my day. A few hours later I returned to my computer to find the same search. That’s when I asked, “Who searched hot air balloons on my computer?” No one confessed, so slightly confused, I again went about my day. Since then it’s...
