Leopards and Tigers and Bugs, Oh My!

This entry was originally published at The Less Traveled Path

Yesterday at around 5:45pm, a good friend of mine called me telling me she had a question that she thought I would be able to answer. I thought she wanted directions to a place as a few of my friends and I often call each other for directions hoping that the other person is in front of a computer. (It didn’t occur to me that her BlackBerry would have served that purpose.)

She was walking around downtown San Francisco and saw a huge line on Stockton Street and she wondered if people were waiting in line for free stuff and doubted they were in line for the Armani Exchange store which was next door.

I told her that if she got in line, she might get free stuff. After all, it was the launch of the latest upgrade to the Mac OS X Operating System code named Leopard and at one of the previous launches, I know someone who won both a laptop and an iPod.

She decided against standing in line, but seemed content with my explanation.

I also got an email from Apple an hour before the launch. Read more about it here.

Men’s Hell

This entry was originally published at The Less Traveled Path

A few friends and I decided to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory atop Macy’s Union Square in San Francisco this weekend. Since we had 35-45 minutes to kill before our seating was available, we decided to go shopping for a little bit. We found ourselves in the women’s shoes section (my girl friend, my guy friend, and me). Another guy friend arrives in SF and calls to ask us where we are to meet up with us:

Girl Friend: We’re in the second floor of Macy’s, in the women’s shoe section.
Guy Friend: That’s like men’s hell.

Then I started thinking about how they have a women’s lounge in the women’s bathroom (has anyone ever really seen women just sitting around and chatting there?). That’s when it occurred to me that they should have a men’s lounge in or next to the women’s shoe section with video games. Then all the boys can do their guy thing, bond with other guys over gaming while the women shop til they drop!

Money, Looks, and Love

This entry was originally published at The Less Traveled Path

Wow, has it been over a month since I last posted here? I’ve been distracted by work, life, and other projects like Tech Generation, but I came across something that was so amusing that I just had to share because love and relationships are always a hot topic. Mix in money and looks and you’ve got fascinating issues:

Advice for woman seeking $500k+ earning man

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25 year old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all.

Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a business man who makes average around 200 - 250. But that’s where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000 won’t get me to central park west. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she’s not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?
