spinnerin: @semaphoria Ooh. If they have it, you should. (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do without a useable kitchen all weekend. Can’t wash dishes or anything. (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: Kitchen sink clogged again, and the clog seems to be under the building, so they can’t fix it till Monday. (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: @ctb I skipped mine a few weeks ago too. (via Twitter / spinnerin)

Women in Technology: the book
We must be at the end of September, because today the last essays in O’Reilly’s Women in Technology series were posted. Mine was earlier in the week, found here if you missed it. Some very interesting perspectives were included. One big thing I noticed is that most women seemed to attribute their success to doing what they were interested in, whether or not anyone else thought they should. But the...
spinnerin: @marshallk The effects of fall/winter weather on startups (it’s so dark out today) ? (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: Oh and the vacuum bag is full, and we don’t have any spares, so I’ll probably wind up with glass in my foot tomorrow. Hate. (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: Spoke too soon about the cats. Sputnik broke a wine glass such that the whole thing fell on my lap. I hate everything. (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: @mattg My crazy cats are actually asleep for once. But I sympathize. (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: Starting to get annoyed with the proliferation of online craft tutorials all involving the same basic tasks. Making a mini pillow? C’mon. (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: @bleything Woo. Know any investors? (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: @jchris Yeah, I have an account there too. But it’s not quite what I have in mind, either. (via Twitter / spinnerin)
spinnerin: Wondering how hard it would be to find funding to create a better-designed competitor to Etsy. (via Twitter / spinnerin)

Sheep!
For the last several weeks, as my calendar filled up, I’ve been anxiously hoping that at least some part of this past weekend would remain open. Friends getting married? Okay, it’s in town and only takes up one day. Birthday party? Whew, that’s the weekend before, no problem. Timbers playoff game? Um. We had the great fortune to not only finish second in the league, and make it to the playoffs,...
