Ideal Interview Subject: CleopatraMessage for Young Women: Be authenticTo Her 15-Year-Old Self: Be more instinctualWedding Day: Her business partner, and fellow journalist, Walter Mossberg, walked her down the aisle when she married her partner. In her junior year of college at Georgetown University, Kara Swisher became incensed with an article she read in The Washington Post. It was full of errors, even spelling mistakes, and young Swisher decided to take her complaint directly to the office of the paper itself.

In 1997, Swisher began covering digital issues for The Wall Street Journal's San Francisco bureau, writing a regular column, titled "Boomtown," about the growing technology sector. Along with Walter Mossberg, she co-produces ... Continue reading →

Got back from my latest trip to Toronto yesterday afternoon. (The avatar pic here is from my FIRST visit to Toronto, in 1973, for Torcon 2. My second worldcon, and first trip ever outside the United States. Yes, I was that young once. Yes, there was a time before the beard.)A fun four days, albeit frantic.

They told me afterwards that it was the biggest signing the store has ever hosted, breaking the record previously established by Bill Clinton. Hey, cool! That 1996 encounter with Clifford the Big Red Dog still rankles, but I outdrew the Big Dog Bill, so... It really ... Continue reading →

According to new research by American Express, the average guest will shell out $339 to attend each wedding they’re invited to—and that’s not even considering a gift.Plan on giving one? That’ll be $150. Oh—you’re in the wedding party? You’ll drop at least another hundred in incidentals (read: an expensive dress and pre-wedding cocktails). With five weddings on my dance card this season, including one stint as a bridesmaid, it’s all adding up to a very romantic budget-breaker. But according to AMEX’s Melanie Backs, I should be thankful that it’s 2012—and not 2011- -that’s my busiest ... Continue reading →
