Honestly, I hesitated to mention this at all, but I’m going to be speaking at this year’s BlogHer conference in July. A couple months ago, Megan contacted me about helping out with her session covering blog plugins and other fun stuff. Long story short, I talked to Elisa via email, and it’s all set up, [...]
It came to my attention today that my knowledge of the lyrics to Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” has become woefully rusty. (You can spare me the snark about knowing the lyrics to the song at all.) As mentioned in the Wikipedia article, I also studied this song in elementary school, although I [...]
Attempting to get some depth of field with my compact camera.
I have this rather unsightly problem in that I shed hair like crazy. I’ll admit, I do play with my hair a lot, but that’s only part of it—I just have weak hair, apparently. For pretty much my adult life, I’ve been auditioning hair products promising to “reduce breakage” or make my hair “98% stronger.” [...]
Yesterday I got my superawesome mix CD from Shaun (to counteract my music boredom), and it got me thinking about mix CDs in general, because (a) it’s superawesome, and (b) I haven’t given or received one in a long time. When I got my first CD burner and in the heyday of Napster, I burned [...]
Thank You For Smoking is a “satirical comedy follows the machinations of Big Tobacco’s chief spokesman, Nick Naylor, who spins on behalf of cigarettes while trying to remain a role model for his twelve-year-old son.” I was very much looking forward to this movie, even though Tom Cruise made them cut the Katie Holmes nude [...]

I think in our brave, new, internet-obsessed world, with our iPods and iTunes, where new artists can get their break by simply throwing some MP3s on a website, we listen to, and, more importantly, consume more music than we used to. [...]
Who is excited about installing and running the Windows XP operating system on your brand-new, shiny Intel Mac? Oh, right, not me. You know, I think it’s great that Apple came out with Boot Camp after everyone and their mother speculated about and attempted to run Windows on their new computers. It was like they [...]
I’ve mentioned this before, but I always hate talking about WordPress, because I’m turned off by the crazed following that worships it like the second coming of Christ. I mean, yeah, WordPress is great, but sheesh! However, a brief story: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Winn designed and built his [...]
Although you may not make a point to kill your social life and geek it out like I do, chances are if you’re reading this, you’ve probably tinkered with a website before and done the old edit-upload-check-repeat square dance. My life is slipping away from me one refresh at a time. I’ve been playing around [...]
