Exactly last week, I attended the Maker Faire in the New York Hall of Science in Queens. The Maker Faire is essentially a large gathering of hobbyists, technologists, developers, creators, inventors, and some big name companies and organizations. It is a fair, so there were exhibits and pavilions set up for the different groups that […]

The Magic Word
I’d like to talk a little about my job. I am actually at my job as I write this, by the way. I am an attendant, of sorts, which means that during the course of my time at work I come into contact with quite a few people. I also spend a lot of […]
Blogging: The Cure for Writer’s Block
Seth Godin: Talker’s Block Occasionally I may digress from talking about science and instead post/share something that I feel is very interesting or at least somewhat relevant. In this case, I would like to share with you Seth Godin’s blog post on Talkers Block and Writers Block. I found it relevant because he claims the […]
The Stranger
I’ve been in NYC and the surrounding areas for exactly one month. As I walk around, or stare out of the windows of the subway, I can’t help but compare this city to the one I left behind. The woman that I’m living with told me that she’s been living in her apartment for 30 […]
Baby Steps
On Monday, I attended the meeting for Circle K, the club I signed up for. As always, I was nervous at the prospect of meeting new people, but I also knew that it just had to be done. The fact that I went with a friend really, really helped. The meeting started off with something […]

Do you know what drives me absolutely CRAZY? People that clip their nails on the train/bus. So disgusting!
In other news, I’m going to go see Opeth and Katatonia tonight. I’m quite jazzed.
*FREE* COFFEES!
Who can possible pass up two offers on FREE coffees? (Granted, this has nothing to do with fashion, but I just had to share this with ya’ll!) On September 29**, 7-Eleven is giving out FREE medium coffee! Apparently, it’s National Coffee Day. Just stop by at any participating 7-Eleven store from 7am to 11am for your […]
Getting a Cellphone
Getting a cellphone is supposed to be fairly easy, especially for a pre-paid phone…Isn’t it? Well, tell that to the guy who was screaming at the poor Japanese lady while trying to get a second phone. First, to get a cellphone in Japan, or in my case a pre-paid cellphone, you must be living in Japan for […]
An Interesting Perspective on Shopping.
Should You Save or Splurge on Your Wardrobe?
What do you think about this video?
Do you think you save more when you make an expensive investment or to buy cheap?
okay
Today [while interning] I answered a call from a woman who had an issue with her Social Security benefits. Mind you, this is technically a federal issue, but as she sounded quite exasperated I didn’t feel like upsetting her further by saying so. As I took down her information to pass onto a higher up, […]
