Personal payments with Venmo rock

Paypal.  Ugh.  Seriously has the interface changed in the last decade?  I’m going with a resounding no.   Yet it is still what haunts the internets like some creepy man giving out candies to small children.  Oh and my dad and PA use it.

Cookbook that doesn’t suck? Yay, Paleo!

I’ve gone through a bunch of dietary changes in the last years.  I guess this is just par for the course when you live in San Francisco and everyone is obsessed with talking about what they eat…  I find that Paleo kind of suits me.  No grains, no legumes, no sugar – basically no carbs. […]
