I love books and am a complete sucker for tests that allow me to measure myself and gain insights into how I might be more effective and happier at work. I’ve taken the Strengthsfinder, Myers-Briggs, DISC, and more. I received an advance copy of Barry Libert’s Social Nation: How to Harness the power of Social [...]

Subtitle: I really do get comments on this blog, just not on this blog. I heavily use a handful of social media sites: Twitter, Google Buzz, Facebook, Ravelry (knitting community), and Flickr. I value each for different things, and Facebook is my least favorite. Especially since now they’re trying to take over the Internet. Yet, [...]

I’m pretty much unable to draw, though I doodle a lot when I’m thinking. Photography has been my visual outlet, and I’ve long loved taking photographs and sharing photographs with friends and family. It took me a long time to give up my film camera, but when I converted to digital, it was permanent and [...]

We had a lovely, wonderful, amazing, restful trip to Hawaii in March. The one thing I noticed, though, was that wireless internet was ubiquitous.

You know, wondering about who might be good speakers to invite to talk to us, that kind of thing. I didn’t even tweet it, though I should have. But, [...]

I really do like how Google Calendar works, and I like the fact that it tries to interact smartly with my gmail. I’ve been amused at some of the entries it has tried to make. This might be my best yet. The funny thing is, it wasn’t a particularly abject or obsequious email thread, but [...]

So my macbook was beeping, constantly for a day and a half, like this. Besides my sanity, I was afraid, after hearing the same sound from YouTube videos of pre-hard-drive crash Macs, it was going to take out my hard drive. So, i moseyed on down to the Genius Bar at Briarwood Mall, with an [...]

I have to hand it to the constellation of social sites to which I belong. All combined to give me a very happy birthday today! I turned 38 today, and I didn’t get the iPhone I was seriously hinting for because of local shortages, and my husband has a summer cold, so has been prone on [...]

I’d love it to go the whole way back, but this one shows what I’ve written recently (via Wordle). Here’s one from my del.icio.us account. Seems a bit more representative because it has accumulated over a longer time.
