Reactions: Not everything in life is Likable

I come to Facebook to share all kinds of things with people I care about — from celebratory posts about practicing yoga for 60 days straight, to mourning the loss of a parent. Those same people who connect with me on my stories also have their own stories to share…

I miss my partner

Reflecting on one year after Teehan+Lax, and one year at Facebook — When I set out to write this article, I figured it would be pretty simple. I’d write about my transition to Facebook — you know, all the things I missed about my old life, love about my new one, etc. …

60 Days of Yoga

A before and after look at how I (so far) changed my life. — It’s interesting, my relationship with pixels. I realize I had both slowly and quickly parsed my own self into many, many discrete pixels.
