From Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page: Five years ago, Facebook started leading an effort called the Open Compute Project to change the way data centers are designed and operated. Data centers power the internet. They’re the nervous system that allows all kinds of services to run – including Facebook. But until five years ago, the largest technology companies all designed their data centers and computing infrastructure in secret. They viewed this technology as a competitive advantage to beat others in the industry. We realized that if we opened up our designs and shared our progress with the industry, we’d all make...

Stories From the Rainbow Bridge Dear fans, friends and felines, As I sit here upon my sun-dappled cloud, which is conveniently located just a stone’s throw away from the Rainbow Bridge, I would like to confirm something for my feline friends on earth: Yes, Heaven is all that and a bag of catnip. Been here for a couple weeks now, and you know, it’s pretty cool. The other kitties have made me feel most welcome, and it’s so nice hanging out with Karl again.

It’s not like a Mariah Carey diva spotlight shot down from the heavens in the middle of Trader Joe’s yesterday, but one might as well have. I was standing in front of the eggs gawking at an empty section on the top shelf where the liquid egg whites were supposed to be.

For the next seven days, I will be ditching under-eye concealer, which is craziness, considering the fact that there was a time when I’d literally never leave home without it. No, seriously, I used to apply under eye-concealer to pick up the mail…right outside the house. Lately, however? Nuh-uh. It has NOT been doing me any favors, and I don’t know exactly what happened, because I really haven’t changed my skin care routine. Suddenly, though (or so it has seemed to me), everything I put under my eyes looks heavy and thick and textured and like — pardon my French...

Say “hello” to the destroyer of every single decent makeup bag I’ve ever owned, and the poltergeist that haunts the inner pocket of my current mom purse, which, once upon a time, housed six pristine lipstick tubes and an asthma inhaler. *waves hi* 👋 Since this makeup pencil sharpener exploded, everything — and I mean everything — all of the lipsticks, the inhaler and the lining of that inner pocket — is now smeared with chunks of black eyeliner, glitter and nude lip crayon, and everything else I ever sharpened in this sharpener since the dawn of time.
