10/29/2008 Where are the robotic dentists?
 Here come the robots Originally uploaded by Max Kiesler Because what I really want — is a robot dentist. I really don’t mind the pain associated with the dentist, and I don’t feel afraid that it will hurt. I really do mind feeling ashamed every time I go to the dentist (which has nothing to do with the dentist’s demeanor, really). Yes, I know, I am a little neurotic. And yes, I know the Internets still love me. (You know, the Internets have real potential as a higher-power substitute for atheist web nerds. You just hand over all your issues to Ceiling Cat).

10/27/2008 One more way to save money in the big downturn: Learn to cut your kids’ hair!
Yesterday’s post on saving money in the big downturn reminded me of one more thing I started doing this summer — I started cutting my kids’ hair. Prior to that, we’d been going to a chain of kid-focused hair salons called SnipIts. They had kid-sized barber chairs, things for kids to look at while getting a haircut, and went to a lot of effort to make a kid’s haircut fun and fast. Plus, I didn’t feel like I had to apologize too much when my kid yelled his head off; judging by what I saw at the other stations, they were pretty used to it. But when they came to visit me in Colorado, boy, did they need a haircut — and I didn’t really know where to take them. Off to Target, and $7 later I had a pair of hair shears, and cut their bangs. Trimmed a little elsewhere. Honestly, it wasn’t any worse than they were getting at SnipIts (the best hair stylist in the world can’t do much with someone who won’t sit still). And aside from the cost of the scissors, it was free. We do also have a pair of hair clippers, but after trying them a few times, I could not figure out how they worked. You’d think clippers would be simple, but you would not believe the instructions that came with ours! If I ever figure it out, I’ll be able to give them pretty professional looking haircuts, even in the back.

10/26/2008 Saving money in the big downturn
My friend and partner in crime business Susan Mernit wrote a great post entitled Advice for the Recently Laid off #2: How to save money. Susan once worked at Yahoo, and still has lots of friends there; last week, rumors circulated that the company would cut anywhere from a few hundred to over 3,000 jobs. Several of my own friends here in the Boston area have lost jobs, and it seems like every time I make the rounds of the blogs I read, I hear about companies cutting back or people who have had their jobs cut back. Evan and I are still working, but even in the best of times, technology is a boom and bust business. Big company, small company, good times, bad times, they all have the average structural integrity of a wet cardboard box, and the fact is that at some point all of us are going to get thrown to the volcano gods. It seems prudent to cut back now, before we need to, especially if I can identify things we don’t really need. So I’ve been thinking about that for awhile, and Susan’s post made me go out and do a little trimming of my own. I canceled my subscriptions to a number of online services, and went hunting around for Halloween costume components. I was sure I wouldn’t be able to find them, but I did, saving us about $20. That $20 is non-recurring savings, but the $70 I saved on other things will be $70 that’s not going out every month. I won’t say which services; the fact is that if I got out my credit card at all in the first place I was pretty impressed with the work they were doing, and I don’t want to depress them or discourage anyone else from using them. Susan’s post also reminded me of a post I did for Kevin Kelly’s excellent Cool Tools during the last downturn. It’s about using a little manual plastic adder while grocery shopping, as a way of staying mindful of price fluctuations on common items.  Austerity Measures with a Smile Originally uploaded by lisa.williams. Handy AdderAusterity Measures with a SmileMindfulness is the beginning of all change. And nothing says “Change Ahead” like an experience like last week’s: the company my husband works for announced that all the development on the product that he and his co-workers make is being sent to India. They got handed a box and told to pack up their desks the same day.Fortunately, I come from a long line of women whose lives were one long austerity measure, and I understand a lot of the basic principles: save cash, spend downtime increasing household efficiency, make your own stuff, and hang tight. But it can be hard to change any habit, including habits about how we spend money. It’s easy to slip into a rut of buying the same stuff all the time at the grocery store without noticing weekly price fluctuations. Using the Handy Adder is an effective and weirdly fun way to reconnect your attention with every item and not get hosed or miss big price increases. It’s the grocery store version of Be Here Now.If you look closely, you can see this week’s total for groceries for my family of four.

9/3/2008 The Self-Starting Machine: Reflections on the Nature of Creativity & Productivity
[Originally posted at People’s Software Company Blog. PSCo is a joint venture between me and my friend Susan Mernit. We’re making lightweight mobile calendars to make it easier for you to actually show up places you’re supposed to be. Fabulous! This one’s about what it’s like to work at a startup, or more generally to be a person who Makes Stuff].  Hop! (Cropped)Originally uploaded by lisa.williamsWhen people ask me what TechStars was like, I’ve got a line — because I’ve always got one. I say, “It was like sticking my head in an active washing machine — again, and again, and again.” So as long as the drive from Boulder to Boston was, I was glad for it. (Okay, I could have lost the last 500 of those 1,982 miles). I was glad because creativity isn’t an industrial process; making software isn’t an industrial process; teambuilding isn’t an industrial process; growing a community isn’t an industrial process. My lesson about all of these is that you can go fast — but you can’t go fast with all of them all of the time. At a recent coffee with a friend, I said that trying to rush teambuilding was a bit like watering a plant three times as much while yelling “Go FASTER!!”I sat in my car, going point to point from Boulder to North Platte, Nebraska; from North Platte to Davenport, Iowa; from Davenport, Iowa, to Erie, PA; from Erie at last to Watertown, MA, the Boston suburb where I live with my husband and two kids. And I’m proud to say I didn’t have a single idea the whole time. Well, okay, I’m fronting a little. A lot. It bothers me to have an empty head like that. It’s not normal — it just feels, well, wrong. It feels wrong even though I know it is normal — because it’s part of the normal process of Making Stuff. (more…)

8/27/2008 My Kid Has A Foreign Policy
 Rowan and Joe Originally uploaded by lisa.williams And it doesn’t even involve unicorns! While I was out in Boulder for the summer, Evan and the kids came to visit me for ten days. One morning we went out to the coffeeshop to pick up some coffee and pastries, and he looked at the front of the Denver Post, which carried a story about the (then) upcoming Democratic National Convention. “What’s that?” he said. “It’s about a political convention.” Rowan loves, loves, loves for you to talk to him — I’m convinced you could read cereal boxes to him and as long as you were talking to him, he’d be thrilled. So, political conventions. What six year old cares? Him. He says, “Tell me more.” “It’s about the Democratic National Convention. It’s a big party where the Democrats, our party, get together to decide who they want to ask everybody to vote for for President.” Now, the night before, we took a few of the big picture books on architecture from the shelves of the house I was subletting for the summer. One, by Rem Koolhaas, had a long segment on the vast improvised shantytowns that ring many major Southern Hemisphere cities like Lagos and Rio de Janeiro. “Everything is all broken!” he said. “Well, everybody has to make their own house, and they don’t always have good tools. Look at this one, it’s pretty clever. I don’t know if I could make a house that good by myself.”“Yeah.” The next page featured a long shot showing thousands of improvised houses stretching to the horizons. “Do you think they have a school there?”He looked at me in horror. “Kids live there?!” One of the great things about Rowan is that he’s shocked and pained when I tell him about racism, ism, poverty. He thinks it’s outrageous, and he takes it so personally. So we’re sitting there in the coffee shop and he says, “If I was President I would build schools in Africa.”I said, “Hey, you have a foreign policy idea. Do you know what foreign policy is?”“No, what is it? Can I have a donut?”“Yes, you can have a donut. Foreign policy is when countries have ideas about other countries.” I’ve been thinking, maybe we don’t have to wait for Rowan to be President to build some schools (or, maybe, buy some school uniforms, or, roofing material, or…). I was thinking I’d ask Ethan Zuckerman, whose work at Global Voices Online I really admire, what kind of things a kid could do that would be useful and nonharmful to help kids in Africa. So far, I’ve got him collecting cans around the house and from a neighbor to raise some cash. Ideas?

8/25/2008 The Return of Family Dinner
For a few years I had a regular open dinner at my house on Tuesday evenings called Family Dinner. I got busy, my kids got to the ages where it was hard to manage them and a houseful of guests at the same time, and I dropped it. On Sunday, I returned from three months away from my husband and kids; I spent the summer in Boulder, CO at TechStars a startup incubator and mentoring program. See the People’s Software Company blog for the story of that adventure. I returned home, and Wow. The house was immaculate, there were flowers everywhere, everyone had a haircut, the dog was groomed, the lawn was mowed! It wouldn’t be any better prepared if they had been welcoming Barack Obama. I felt like an honored guest from a foreign land. I was also completely beat after four days where I drove nine hours each day. So we got some takeout. So the next day, I decided, I will make everyone dinner. I will make everyone Family Dinner! Just us, though. And so:Demi-ficelle bread and sheep’s milk cheesePan seared New York sirloinBaby fingerling potatoes pan roasted in the juicesFresh escarole and spinach braised in pan juices with garlic and saltCurried riceDessert of burnt-caramel ice cream and apricot hamentashen It was pretty good. The curried rice was actually the product of the previous evening’s takeout at Cafe of India, our favorite local Indian restaurant. And…well…Boulder got to me. I admit, the vegetables were…organic. And the beef was, um, grassfed. Okay, okay, Susan was always buying this organic stuff, and, well, it tasted like it was probably actually good for you (although organic toaster pastries just can’t hold a candle to the totally built-in-the-lab and extruded-from-a-nozzle glory that is the Old Skool PopTart). There, I made my gluten-free confession. It was a good dinner. We are happy.

6/22/2008 The self-absorption of the self-destructive
This week’s This American Life, “Duty Calls,” Josh Bearman talks about what happens when he has to go clean up after his mother, who was rescued by paramedics after a weeks-long drinking binge. She lives in Florida in a condo she inherited from her father along with David, her one child who was raised by her. Unlike her two older sons, who went to college and are stable, David is constantly in trouble and in and out of jail and can’t take care of himself or his mother. The apartment has descended into the state of a trash house. David pays for her mother to go into a nursing home after she gets out of the hospital, where she is so debilitated she is in a wheelchair. Once she’s well enough to get out, she refuses to go to a sober living or rehab facility and starts drinking again. What strikes me about this is how self-involved and self-justifying every word out of his mother’s mouth is. Everything is everybody else’s fault, and other people, even her own kids, don’t really exist as real people to her. She sweet talks her son or rails at him, but he could be a lightpost — to her, he’s just a means to an end that she wants — to go back to her condo and resume drinking. If you have to deal with people who are drinking or using my advice is to remember not to take anything they say — good or bad — personally. It’s not about you; it’s about them and their addiction. And go to Al-Anon. It helps.
