Hey tech-y people: If I want to say that people are creating cellphone apps, what's the best verb? Program? Develop? Build?
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

P-C, those ethnicity & race options are straight from the Office of Management & Budget, which is why they're used in the Census. We use them on our studies too, so, I dunno, it seems standard to me.
We do break some of those categories down into more detail (and allow "other") but I think that for OMB compliance, you have to be able to aggregate your data into those 5 categories.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like the Boots knock-off you can get at Target, but I think the formula of the YSL one is slightly better.
But $30 better?
That I'm still waffling on.

OK, good -- I think we said "develop" most of the time. But not all of the time, because it's too boring. Are the others OK?

I went to Sephora at lunch (giant mall across the street, home to the Apple Store; how I managed to escape without buying a Macbook is beyond me) and got Benefit's Eye Bright. Playing with it, it seems pretty good.
Benefit also has a new powder foundation that, holy crap, I really love and might have to ditch Aromaleigh for.

But not all of the time, because it's too boring.I think you should make up your own terminology.
"They're almost done deep-frying the new app!"
Just be confident about it, so that other people pick it up. And if they look confused, explain it in a slightly condescending way.
