Life Lots of interesting meetings, NativeSummit (which was cool), Women in Tech meetup at Facebook, and a meetup for the Nesta Hack my friend and I are taking part in next weekend. Starting to prep talks for next year, which is fun. Confirming two more conferences to speak at soon! And playing with AutoLayout. Media Watching […]
Life Gym and brunch with a new (local!) friend, faux-husband arrived from Sydney, all too briefly, which was amazing. Made it to an event at Twitter and got to catch up with a friend, had lunch with another (and dinner to round off the week, which was lovely), and spent the weekend in Shropshire for a […]
LIFE I’m not sleeping well and it’s making me exhausted and grumpy, but yay for four day weekends, been able to get some good workouts in, including swimming (I haven’t swam in weeks!) and feel so much better as a result. My first draft of The Thing is done. I’m so happy, now all that […]
LIFE Not much going on, I had dinner with a friend’s girlfriend, which was nice as I finally got to meet her and we had a lot in common! Also had lunch with a friend, and caught up with another on video chat but spent a lot of time in front of my computer this […]
LIFE Last week with my friend, I am so sad to say goodbye. We went on an adventure on one night, all the way to zone 6! We were supposed to see a TV recording but the timings are really tight and there are no cabs in zone 6 – I am never going to […]
LIFE Last day in NYC, and I finally made some progress on The Project I’ve been procrastinating on, and chilled out. Flew back on the redeye, which was turbulent and so even more exhausting! Mostly just getting on top of things again, and hanging out with my friend who is in from Sydney, although I […]
LIFE Progress on my apartment has stalled, although I do finally have internet again, which is nice. I made it to the gym 4x during the week, and then took off for a weekend at the spa with my mom! No weights or yoga this week, due to class times and the less than stellar class options […]
Life This week was mostly quality time with the family, chilling out. I’ve been trying to get to the gym as much as possible given the rubbish opening hours around this time of year, as the dark and being cooped up is continuing to get to me. When I’m at the gym and see adverts […]
Sometimes I feel like we’re two aliens, from different planets with different languages, trying to communicate via Skype without electricity. Sigh. I spent a few hours over the break reading the 40 Days of Dating project. Two designers, friends with opposite attitudes to (and problems in) relationships conduct an experiment in dating each other, for 40 days. […]
Life I caught up with a friend who I haven’t seen in forever, which was awesome, went to see Anchorman 2 with another, and met up with someone new – which was nice. My friend Dave took me to see American Psycho, the Musical. I also had a long hangout catching up with a friend from O-town, which […]
