I Got Your Jeep Thing
I’m a Jeep girl. While I’ve never actually owned one I’ve ridden in plenty and have managed to not get /kickbanned from the EFNet channel #jeep having been there since 1996.

To Remembering Spring
I took this pic in New Jersey when I was there for the NYC #140Conf in April 2010, but I never got around to uploading it.

You can also see it here on my Flickr stream.
Desktop Zen, and the Four Noble Truths
Like most desks, mine can be chaotic – often covered with my son’s artwork and homework assignments, cluttered with work projects, post-it notes reminding me of errands, phone numbers and important dates, and piles of unopened mail.

I advocate for what I believe is right & embrace possibitarianism. I'm an optimistic realist & I learn more about myself the more I understand about others. I'm a giver of endless second chances & the wearer of a shirt-sleeve heart. I'm a reveler in chaos & I love my own idealistic, unwavering hopefulness that one day I'll figure myself out.
In my life I've been 180° and back again & I'm ever-aware of what I have yet to learn...
