This is the first Halloween in I don’t know how many that I didn’t take out my dearly beloved witch statue out of the garage for prominent display. I told myself I’ll do it the day before, and then on the day of, and finally, immediately after Halloween, especially since the house next door still [...]

I was impossibly demanding of my dear readers in our movie contest on August 12th when I asked you to choose the single film which had most impacted you in life and to tell me why in great detail, to boot! The response was overwhelming! You were so good to participate, so kind to indulge [...]

Have you moved to the world of electronic books yet? I had been trying in vain. I even bought a Kindle; I have yet to really use it. The thing is, traditional books are a pain to give up. I am addicted to turning the pages, feeling the text, holding the book, marking my place, [...]
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet. Much as I love Shakespeare, this timeless prose does not hold up when it comes to marketing, branding, business and website naming. The right name can make all the difference to your clientele, your traffic and ultimately [...]

My greatest mistake wasn’t to start tango late in life, that is a mere regret, or to not tango seriously enough, I couldn’t as it was making me so happy with so little, or to not tango frequently enough, as life happens and it needs your attention. My greatest mistake was to temporarily give up [...]
One evening in early spring, I came home to a kitchen smelling of divine home-made cooking of the resident chef, my husband, Andy. On this particular night, he was going to show me the first Episode of the infamous TV show, LOST , during dinner. He is already a huge fan, along with most of [...]
My first healthy obsession with online photography fun was Flickr. My current one is Picnik. As digital photography has entered the main stream in the last few years, the enjoyment of photos has become accessible to everyone. With it, the social media has enabled us to marvel at the amazing pool of photos taken by amateur photographers, ordinary [...]
The Japanese are brilliant. I have always known this. Growing up in Iran, we had a ranking system for all products that were imported from various countries. The Japanese always and without exception ranked the highest. It did not matter if it were clothing, electronics, house-hold items or a car battery. Their brand was universally [...]
