I actually own a sterling silver calling card tray, an essential Victorian accessory. It belonged to my great-grandmother, who was born in 1894. The whole time I was growing up, it sat on a table in our entryway, despite the fact that calling cards were by then already a thing of the distant past. We do… [Read more…]

There’s a refinement to Apple products that jumps the gender gap (and creates a healthy aftermarket for butch iPhone cases for those who aren’t real comfy with their feminine side, or “How to make your Apple product look more like a Hummer”).

The moment I met Doris, a new, and free, task management/GTD Web app, she was hired. I don’t know how I survived without her for as long as I did. Now all my cerebral flotsam and jetsam has its own convenient and functional storage unit. Read more of what I had to say about Doris… [Read more…]
