  • Blogher: Initial thoughts

    On the plane, I had written a post about BlogHer that was long and rambly and a bit vitriolic. This article on the conference pretty much explains some of what bothered me about the conference. As soon as I’ve processed more, I’ll write more. I had a great time hanging out with Julie, Barbara, Dr.…

  • Stab my eyes out with a fork

    Okay, I know they need money, but can they find less fake people. I’m totally horrified. They’re talking about nuns. Tags: blogher, blogher06, spork Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

  • Blogher: sushi report

    So Julie came and kidnapped me and took me to meet Janet for sushi. First, I recognized her immediately. She looks a little like her gravatar and as I told her later, she looks like she writes. Don’t know how to explain that. She just does. Second, and most important, I felt like we were…

  • Blogher: Day 1

    I’m in my last session of day one at Blogher, sitting with the two Barbaras, listening to people talk about tagging. I’m amazed at how many people don’t really know what tagging is, but this is what this conference is for. This conference definitely has a different feel to it than many other conferences I’ve…

  • Bleh, flying

    Sometimes flying is good. It gets you where you need to go quickly. The ride is smooth and you don’t have to drive. Sometimes, though, flying is harrowing. My dad actually nearly got his pilot’s license so I know what all the bumps are, but still. Sometimes, like today, it feels like the pilot’s going…

  • Blogher

    BlogHer is right around the corner. One more day of work and then I take off. I have a few projects to tie up before I go and then I’m ready to have fun and maybe learn some stuff. Here’s what I’m looking forward to. Meeting People First and foremost, I’m looking forward to meeting…

  • The black sheep returns

    Actually Mr. Geeky is no black sheep, but he is the only sibling to have left his hometown and only one of a handful of people in his extended family to do so. So his visiting his hometown is a big deal. On the road on Friday, we got many phone calls. What’s your schedule?…

  • Appearance: dressing

    Let’s move on from housecleaning to dressing. I’m planning to attend an event this weekend where I have to dress up. I want to look good and, to be frank, I am stressing a little about this whole aging process. At some point, I know I’ll come to terms with it, but right now, I’m…

  • Neatness, happiness, and class

    I’ve been thinking about Flash’s comment on my last post, suggesting that I hadn’t taken class into account when examining the state of my house and/or my friend’s house as it represented my and their inner state. I definitely think there’s some connection between neatness and class that I’ve likely internalized and not examined critically.…
