It’s hard to believe it’s been ten months since I first wrote about my journey to the metaverse. I’ve since gone much deeper into various rabbit holes. The last couple of weeks were no exception. I joined an incredible 13-week Web3 bootcamp and community for women and non-binary folks called Read more…
I have a working theory that humans are part of a simulation we think is real life that is directed by smarter beings in the sky. It’s the only plausible-to-me explanation of the state of the world. These beings or hell, AIs, are behind some sort of universal command center Read more…
Thwap! Went the t-bar. I’m not sure which part of my body it knocked into, but I fell hard. I don’t fall much these days when I’m snowboarding. Partly because I started riding 27 years ago and have solid edge control and partly because I don’t jump. I do like Read more…
I attended my second class yesterday. I told myself this time I’d focus on boring, real-life things and wouldn’t worry about being funny. While I sometimes demonstrate wit that makes people laugh, I don’t really consider myself to be a “funny” person. I found it interesting that going back for Read more…

I signed up for an improv class tonight that starts this weekend and will require four hours of driving each time for six weeks. I’ll come back to that. I’ve been a prolific sharer for a long time, as in at least a couple of decades, I think. (Even documentary Read more…
Among the sea of many discussions of intentions and goals on this last day of 2022… A friend asked me last week about my end-of-year rituals. I’m setting some loose intentions and to-dos and have recently gone through a number of inventory-taking exercises, but it’s more a matter of transitions Read more…
Or any day during my three-month membership this fall. It’s so cliche, slightly amusing, and just a really interesting behavioral curiosity. When I signed up, I was so convinced I’d go to Zumba and yoga classes, aiming for a couple of times a week. I told myself at the beginning Read more…
2015 was a big year of growth. Feeling stuck in my career led me to branch out into new experiences, like solo networking, hackathons, and Startup Weekends. In the fall, my hackathon team of three took home a $30,000 prize for our solution to the traffic violation woes of the Read more…
