Reacting to Reactions
Big news on the social media front, folks! In case you haven’t heard, yesterday Facebook introduced its highly anticipated Reactions.

It’s Not About the Dress
My office is like your office. We were talking about The Dress on Friday. It’s white and gold!, proclaimed one camp. No, it’s black and blue!, said another.

All Hail Lukewarm
The last few days have brought an onslaught of extremes. The baby has either been so freaking happy she can barely contain it or homocidally miserable with her teeth.
