If you’ve ever wandered the streets of New Orleans, you know that the hurricane is the unofficial beverage of Bourbon Street. Sickly sweet and dangerously alcoholic, it suits the city perfectly. And now that the summer is winding down and there’s a hurricane headed straight for the east coast (apparently the earthquake was not enough [...]
A couple of weeks ago, K did some pretty awesome housekeeping here at the website. She got our site to load super fast (or, at least not painfully slow) and bought us a spam filter that eliminated the 40 or so spam comments that we were getting every day. (Thanks K!)
I’m not sure [...]
I admit to being a bit behind and coming in on the tail end of the bandwagon. It seems that everyone is wearing nude pumps these days. Or, at least, everyone on the red carpet is wearing nude pumps. I haven’t really seen them hit my office yet (except for one woman who has since [...]
Take charge advice for work and play every Thursday (except the last 3 weeks)
Idg– I’m 9 weeks pregnant, yay! But I feel awful and am having a hard time pulling it together at work. I can’t concentrate, I can’t eat, and I can barely answer basic questions. I’m scared my team thinks I’ve got [...]
Richard Dawkins, a British Evolutionary Biologist, delivered one of the best defenses of evolution that I’ve ever read, giving notice to Rick Perry and any other “serious” politician who have their questions about evolution.

I’m stealing Idgie’s focus on work issues today. I’ve been working with some younger lawyers lately and have noticed a few consistent issues. Here are my tips for setting yourself apart from the crowd:
1. Pay attention to people’s names. People’s names matter. Chances are, you don’t like it when someone calls you the wrong [...]
Brain Tickler #1:
I don’t get shark movies. You see a shark, you get out of the water, case closed. Unless the shark has evolved to walk and breathe on land, you win. I understand there might be one or two casualties as people try to get out of the water once the shark is [...]
Mr. Mags has been sending us some very interesting articles from “The Economist” lately. Read them and then come back.
Adventures in tea-party cognitive dissonance Don’t look down — The poor like taxing the rich less than you would think
I don’t have anything to add to “Adventures….” M.S. covers everything [...]
As a kid I hated both tomatoes and cheese, so I can’t say that I really had this dinner all that often…. But somehow it feels nostalgic to me anyway. And with it bang in the middle of tomato season in the Mid-Atlantic, my CSA box is overflowing with tomatoes — and the vine Mini-K [...]
