Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
1. This poster from Ork Posters arrived before we went to Edmonton but I framed it last weekend. I love it and think it's an awesome graphic piece for our living room. 2. Putting mint in ice cubes made a (brief) spell of hot weather, just a little more luxurious. Pouring cold water from a …
Are there ever mornings that you wake up and you suddenly have to do some project that's been bugging you for ages? Ya, it doesn't happen to me very often either but this weekend I sprung out of bed and absolutely had to do something about my gross old bedside table. I don't know if …

1. Birthday goodies! Beautiful scarf from Norm, Anthropologie drawer knobs from Nick and a new book from Andrea. 2. We got a new router at work and it is amazing! So fast! Yes I realize that I am hugely nerdy for putting this as a small joy. Whatevs. {Photo from the Apple website.} 3. Coming …
