A Whole World Wide

October 14th, 2008 · No Comments

I was going to CONQUER THE WORLD.
My plan of action was this:

addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fhttp%3A%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fa-whole-world-wide’;
addthis_title = ‘A+Whole+World+Wide’;
addthis_pub = ”;

Beck, Babies or Tea?

September 6th, 2008 · 6 Comments

I thought it would be fun.
A 6-day getaway to laid-back, green&lush Seattle. Hang with The Girls. Get a little crazy.
In SF, my “color girls” (3 friends I’ve known since about 6 years old) wouldn’t stop until the whole town was painted red, red, red. Only thing is, suddenly I’m… old[er]. And definitely, certainly, unquestionably un-hip.

Found: Life Plan

August 13th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The house is being painted. It is time to purge.
While tossing out old boxes, I uncover this little gem: an old “plan” of mine titled: “Life Plan.” Written: Summer 2002 (21 years old). Reads as follows (verbatim):

addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fhttp%3A%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Ffound-life-plan’;
addthis_title = ‘Found%3A+Life+Plan’;
addthis_pub = […]

LAUNCHED: Project “Buy the Hour”

July 31st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Time is money.
And as it stands to reason: money=time.
Spending most of my day, these days, working and burning the midnight oil, I again come up against that age-old question — how much is my time worth? And… do I really want to sell it?

addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fhttp%3A%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fbuythehour’;
addthis_title = […]

Web 2.0 Goodies III (Twitter)

May 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

“Suddenly, the World’s All a-Twitter” (Newsweek)
I’m not sure how I feel about this, but I’ve set up a Twitter account. (Feed can also be viewed in right sidebar). There is… just… so much to say… In fact — I need a moment. Watch this while I collect myself:

addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fhttp%3A%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fweb-20-goodies-iii-twitter’;

Web 2.0 Goodies - I

May 16th, 2008 · No Comments

As I (slowly but surely) update NKS, I am dazzled by the easy easy easy new widget-infused Wordpress that makes my blog-writing job, well, easy ( <–see the italics, right there? I didn’t even bother with the html. Just clicked a button. Thssss):

addthis_url = ‘http%3A%2F%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fhttp%3A%2Fnotkeepingscore.com%2Fweb-20-goodies-i’;
addthis_title = ‘Web+2.0+Goodies+-+I’;

A Spam-Happy Ending

February 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment

When I have writer’s block, I check my junk mail.
Or the spam on Not Keeping Score. On any given day, I get about 50 spam comments on my blog (russian mail-order wives, vicodin, porn, help-china-take-over-the-world) and for the most part, I “Mark All As Spam” and delete (yes, I know: there is a plug-in for […]

To Keep Riding

October 9th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Having dinner at Ha’s house again. Watching the TV, images flickering, shots from Iraq.
I had temporarily forgotten about the war. Being in Israel and thoughts of the Middle East seem so far away. California even farther, with boiled pork intestines and banana flower salad on the table.
Listening to President Bush speak on the newest withdrawl […]

Virtually on Vacation — Day (24/)Seven

August 31st, 2007 · 1 Comment

Freelancing abroad in the Holy Land for 18 days
WHAT? I can’t hear you over the wailing Hindi music!
Yes, I know. Anyone who has visited NKS in the past week, (perhaps surreptitiously while at work with the volume up) — I apologize. But look: I finally figured out how to turn off the auto-play on my […]

Web 2.0H, My, Goodness

August 9th, 2007 · No Comments

I’m doing some work for a couple of Web 2.0 companies, and finding myself, well — 2.0verwhelmed.
I like to think of myself as a fairly savvy technology user, but I have to admit that more and more I have to “educate myself” to keep up.
It all started when I ripped off all of my […]
