The White Glove and the Cute Tiger Cub
Posted by: Maya on: June 26, 2009
MJ thoughts and memories:
My dad brought home the Thriller album (vinyl of course) after work one day and my sister and I jumped up and down and screamed for joy for a good 10 minutes. I begged my parents to let me bring it to my Girl Scouts meeting that was later the same evening. [...]
Breakin’ the law
Posted by: Maya on: January 29, 2009
As of January 1, 2009 texting while driving has been illegal in California. But what does that really mean?
Are you allowed to text while you’re at a dead standstill in traffic?
How about when you’re in a parked car with the engine running?
What about if you’re stopped at a red light?
This law does not prohibit reading, [...]

2 Years at Automattic
Posted by: Maya on: September 5, 2008
2 years ago today was my first day at Automattic. I didn’t even know what blogging was at the time! I was pregnant with Priya my first day at the Pier (before it had carpet!). So much has happened since then, personally and work-wise. It’s definitely been an interesting time – I’ve learned a lot [...]
Don’t Panic!
Posted by: Maya on: August 20, 2008
That was my motto for this past weekend. Fortunately there weren’t too many moments I thought I was going to explode. The weekend started off with everyone flying in to SF on Thursday and Friday. I was prepping all day Friday. The speaker’s dinner ran super late; I left after the 2nd course at 10 [...]

Is that a tooth?
Posted by: Maya on: June 4, 2008
We noticed Amara’s first tooth today… It’s … bottom, right , front. It’s just another sign that they won’t be babies for long… ! It’s exciting to see them grow and learn but you just wish they could stay cute and cuddly forever.
Amara is still so so sweet, giggling, cooing and smiling at everyone and [...]
An Inconvenient Truth
Posted by: Maya on: March 24, 2008
We finally got around to watching this documentary on global warming by Al Gore.
I really like the personal and intimate approach using Al Gore’s life and also the poignant way it was delivered. He was very engaging and even funny at times. The only critique I would have is the only solutions offered [...]

I’ve been craving zarusoba for about 2 weeks now so we decide to try this Japanese restaurant in Redwood City. When you walk in, it’s very small but looks very nice (it’s not a dive at all). There are a few families with a couple kids each. First, they wouldn’t let us [...]
