Non-Geeky Uses for Excel →
Above is the link to my geeky Microsoft blog post on the non-geeky uses for Excel. I didn’t think it was that ingenious, but apparently The Seattle Times thinks so, which is (in my world) pretty exciting. =)

Applicable Philosophy for Real Life
The Mayonnaise Jar and Two Cups of Coffee When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf...

Mad Men on Jezebel →
I LOVE the show Mad Men. It is well thought out and well written. It’s one of those shows that you can watch over and over again and learn and pick up on stuff that you didn’t realize the first time you watched it.
That is why I look forward to the Monday after Mad Men airs. Tracie Morrissey of Jezebel (one of my favorite sites, sister site to Gawker) writes super insightful reviews....

Med School "Prom"
In February I got invited to go to Boston University’s Annual Med School Formal. I was so excited because after high school there are few things that you glamorously get dressed up for (unless you’re a celebrity, socialite or making tons of money and going to benefit gala’s and dinners). Therefore, I told everyone I was going to “prom” again and went dress hunting.
I...

New York Inspired Kate Spade Watches
I’m a big fan of Kate Spade jewelry (though I don’t really own any) and saw that they now are selling these beautiful bracelet watches that are inspired by New York City!
They range from about $195-$250 each, (which is about the same price as a Michael Kors watch) and wear as a bracelet with an engraving inside. Also the blog is super cute and shows you which New York park,...

Rock Climbing at Brooklyn Boulders
The January Adventure Club activity took place at Brooklyn Boulders! We were all super excited for this because it’s hard to find places to rock climb in New York City (the Soho REI doesn’t have a climbing wall like the Redmond & Seattle REI!).
Me getting ready to rock climb!!
While you need to be certified to belay people at BB, they have three self belaying walls and...

Wisdom From an Old Diary
I’m visiting home for the holidays and as I was going through old books and papers in my room, I found the journal that I had started writing in at 17. In it, among the pages of teenage angst I found lists. Everything from “Boost of Confidence” Playlist to “Inspiring Quotes.” On one of the pages I found this:
At 17, What I’ve Learned About Feeling Good About...

Social Consumers and the Science of Sharing... →
If you’re buying a car, do you check Facebook? Or do you read up on Kelley Blue Book values and scour the company website for every spec, from horsepower to miles per gallon? What about music — do you check Top 40 radio charts or scope out what your Facebook friends are actually listening to on …
