If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm an extraordinarily busy person. I'm constantly trying to balance the myriad components of my work day, the complexities of my home life, and all of my work with social groups. If I didn't create methods of dealing with all of these pieces, my life would completely fall apart. Being a techie kind of person, I use a lot of software and mobile phone apps to keep myself sorted. Here are a few of my own tips and tricks that you can use, too.

Many recent discussions of the “end of nature” have stimulated new thinking about our relation with nature.

I have had an insatiable sweet tooth all my life. When I'm "full," I mean that I can't have another bite of the main course; there’s always room for dessert. Fortunately I've grown enough to appreciate more than just sweets. In addition, it has become (almost) as delightful to experience a story about food as it is to eat it; whether it's a foodie memoir, a movie, or a work of fiction with sumptuous descriptions, I feel in good company when an artist captures the pleasures of food.
