There is now a day spa devoted wholly to your love box. There you can get a vaginal rejuvenation and learn all the latest pelvic physiotherapy techniques, the “dental floss of feminine fitness”.
But really my main reason for posting this is to wonder out loud why there isn’t any day spa devoted to the [...]

So the last semi-final match just finished, and we are now looking at a Germany v. Spain final for this Sunday. I couldn’t be more thrilled at the outcome.
I was pushing for a Netherlands win, but unfortunately they lost their steam after the group matches. But once Netherlands lost, my ideal matchup was Germany v [...]

From time to time we are asked to take actions that in some contexts would be considered illegal activity. At times we are asked by companies to perform actual illegal endeavors. Discerning the difference between a legal illegal activity and an illegal illegal activity can be hard to one such as myself, uninformed with the [...]

I had my first opportunity to try and apply some of the Reid technique in a battery of secondary technical interviews last week.

The temperature of the water one uses to brew tea is much more important than simply a matter of boiling. For black teas, boiling water is fine. I know an elderly British woman who simply refuses to contemplate the brewing of tea with anything except freshly boiled water. Green and white teas on the [...]

The only thing easier than good customer service is bad customer service. In my job, I deal with the users a lot. It can be a difficult thing to be the primary and only support for multiple applications. When you have programming deadlines, web changes, and a calendar full of meetings, sometimes customer service is [...]

In past relationships I have struggled to communicate the ideal of contentment to my partner. My happiness with “the way things are” has often been interpreted instead as a lack of motivation or a lack of goals. This unfortunately demonstrates a lack of understanding endemic in my relationships, intimate, platonic and in the work force.

I was introduced to Okayu almost 10 years ago when I got a cold while I was in Japan. It was explained to me at the time as the Japanese equivalent of “chicken noodle soup” and has a number of varieties.
Known as “congee” in other parts of Asia, okayu is in fact really only watered [...]

I’m not much for comments. Especially Slashdot and Digg comments. Sometimes though I’ll peruse the comments on blogs and for the following post, reading the comments is definitely worth it. If one ignores the premise that “there are no women on the internet” then I am able to remain surprised at the number of women [...]
