The other day, Anil mentioned to me a Public Enemy B-side release from 1994 that should have been a single release or at least on a major album. He sent me a copy of it, and after looking around online... | Continue »

Tomorrow is Jane's first birthday. With my usual inimitable sanity, I have made party hats for the party we are not having. Note that there are in fact more hats than people to wear them. Also, I took long enough at the store choosing the paper that I made the baby cry. Excellent parenting. Steve and I put the hats on ourselves, of course, while she was sleeping. Soignée. Admirably focused on his work. Then I put everything away before Jane could wake up and participate in any way herself. No birthday hats for you, baby. It's not your birthday... | Continue »

I'm fascinated by trends, particularly in fashion. I wanted to use plaid for this series, even though right now stripes are big. But sometimes those trends get applied to products beyond fashion, with mixed results. I like working on series... | Continue »

While there wasn't a huge number of folks attending the swap/meet, I have to say that the smaller number meant that I enjoyed the company of each and every lady who came out to Fort Mason! Not only that, I was absolutely blown away by what people brought to the swap -- particularly patterns! Seriously. Even though this was a fabric swap, the patterns were the real star of the swapping show. Imagine my surprise when, instead of just the usual 70s and 80s castoffs, these sorts of patterns were placed on the table (many of these courtesy of Shannon):... | Continue »

Yeah, you heard me right: I'm a coder who has zero desire to ever step foot in events known as "Hackathons". Jeffrey To's article has reminded me that some developers find it puzzling that female developers aren't going to these... | Continue »

via geekfeminism.org I saw this in Boston last weekend (sans post-it note) and it pissed me off quite properly. I keep forgetting that ovaries prevent critical thought and testicles prevent basic social skills! Hoo, boy -- thanks, itasoftware.com! | Continue »

A little more than five weeks ago, Anya Nadine was born...the newest Stockholmie on the block. A future post (or series of posts) to follow about being pregnant in Stockholm, parental leave, and the usual Stockholmie shenanigans. | Continue »

We don't let Ollie watch any TV and his computer/iPad/iPhone screen time is regulated. But when he gets the iPad, one of his favorite things to do is watch YouTube videos, which he picks from ones I've favorited. At some... | Continue »

It looks like pagination is a new [marquee tag](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquee_element). Now all hip websites like [Twitter](https://twitter.com), [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/) got a fancy infinite scrolling. Scroll down more, you'll get more tweets, status updates or contents. Just for browsing stuff, scrolling with space key (or petting your shiny trackpad) is good enough for those lazy people. Currently TypePad provides only paginations on monthly archive pages like [http://sekimura.typepad.com/blog/2011/02/index.html](http://sekimura.typepad.com/blog/2011/02/index.html). But you can make your own infinite scroll page by following these steps: ** Step 1: Create a new "Page" ** Go to "Compose" page and select "New Page" from Compose pull down menu. ** Step 2:... | Continue »

Last summer I was bored one day and searched the app store for solitaire apps. I admit, this is like telling the universe you give up, you're so bored that you'd like to play the most boring game known to... | Continue »

Thanks to the people who've emailed or commented to say that they were having a hard time finding past content on The Sew Weekly. I was very aware that the archives, well, sucked, but I just needed to devote some time to make them work the way I want people to be able to browse the site. Basically, I wanted readers to have the ability to view each of our themed weeks in archived groupings. Now you can do that. You can check out the new and improved archive over here. | Continue »
