I am a software junkie. I love trying out new apps from great Mac developers. Things to do with words and information catch my interest the most, so I have tried nearly every note-taking, information-storing, text-editing software out there. Mariner Software recently released a new version of MacJournal with several new features, so I am [...]
I want a dog the way some people want a baby. I see puppies and dogs everywhere I go and I fall asleep dreaming of my dog-to-be.
Here’s the thing: the very most basic tenet of veganism is that other species are not ours to use. By that notion, keeping companion animals is not vegan. However, [...]
So here is my confession:
Last year, around my birthday in April, I decided to go vegan. I read the books, watched the horrifying videos, bought some Gardenburgers, and decided I would never go back.

Astute readers/knitters will notice that all of the projects currently pictured at the top of this site are made from wool.

Well that didn’t take long.
While it has been easy to remain vegan, the last 24 hours have seen me eating avocados, processed soy, bagels, and plenty of nightshades. Not very “macro” of me at all. I comfort myself with the knowledge that I still made ethical, relatively healthy choices. Plus I bought my first [...]
I’m calling this my first official superhero day. I had brown rice and steamed broccoli for breakfast and lunch, and am making some Magical Healing Soup for dinner. Schedule was completely off today, so mealtimes were irregular and not well-spaced.
I woke up much later than I do on a work day, about seven. At eight [...]
I have made the commitment to veganism and feel completely comfortable with that decision. The ethical and environmental reasons for going vegan are important and the health benefits are compelling. Over the last few weeks I have eagerly sought out vegan alternatives to old favorites and new foods to try.
