What Dallas Lacks: Mainely Nature

Growing up in Small Town Maine, I really enjoyed the solitude of visiting nature trails frequented only enough not to grow over. There are nature trails and parks in Dallas, but no guarantee of solitude; plus, man-made nature isn’t really nature. Spend a few moments with me as I reflect on moments in...

Rant: Reply to All

It’s been a few since I last posted. I’ve been thinking about blogging about email a lot recently, though, and I’m quite sure I could write a lengthy—hence boring—breakdown of several specific aspects of email and the various ways it helps or erodes communication. But for now, we’ll settle for a shorter...

"I Don't Know"

“I don’t know.” I say it fairly often during a work week. It doesn’t mean I’m not smart; it simply means I know what I don’t know and I’m not willing to substitute a guess or an assumption for an answer. This is a virtue that is true to Telligent in general; I value that there is no place for BS or salesy...

Internet Clips are Old News

You’ve probably noticed a trend of user-generated content. It works well on the Internet, but lately the trend has spread to TV, borrowing Internet-produced content to fill 30 minutes of airtime. VH1’s Web Junk pulled it off—that is, if you’re not a big Internet surfer and/or happened to miss a particular...

An Evening at the Symphony

This past Thursday I surprised my husband Jonathan with tickets to the Dallas Symphony . That’s all I told him, and he didn’t take it as a happy surprise because the President of his company called a developer meeting that very day putting the pressure on the team to work harder and because he was seemingly...

My Orthopedic Specialist Loves Hockey

You might be surprised to hear that Dallas has a great hockey program, with five Dr. Pepper Star Centers and a few more independent rinks across the metroplex. They have kids’ leagues, women’s leagues, and all levels of adult leagues; I have been playing in I-League (instructional—or not-awesome-yet...

The Bad Apple Experiment

I read somewhere that an apple in the morning has a comparable effect as morning coffee. Being a loyal follower of The Green Mermaid and knowing there are more health consequences than benefits of coffee, I decided it would be a good idea to conduct The Apple Experiment where I eat an apple in the morning...

A Small Achievement

I have to boast about my small achievement: my Dendrobium lindleyi is in bloom! This may not seem like a big deal, but unlike the hybrid orchids you find at the home improvement or grocery stores that are cultivated for heartiness and long-lasting vibrant blooms, Dendrobium lindleyi is a genuine species...

Beer at Work

Nearing the end of a day at Telligent. Sipping a beer. Blogging. One of the perks of working at Telligent (at least in the Dallas office) is the periodic restocking of beer in the cooler. It is a highly respected benefit which no one abuses: no one drinks daily, no one drinks much (expect on fragfest...

The scruffy-looking couple

This weekend my Husband and I visited Sears looking to purchase a new refrigerator. I was wearing my favorite pair of ripped jeans (which are straddling the line of decency) and my Husband donned a ragged long-sleeve tee shirt dating back to High School that he clings to like a blankie. An associate...
