Ye Olde Blogge

It’s vacation time! We’re headed to somewhere hot and humid to lie around, drink pina coladas and cook ourselves. We’ll be gone for a couple of weeks and it’s doubtful we’ll have access to the internets. If we do, I’ll try to post a time or two. In the meantime, puruse the archives or check…

Eric pointed me to this article that shows that women would prefer to receive tech gadgets rather than the “typical girl” luxury gifts. Geek girls unite! Please consider donating to my efforts in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure

New Kid tagged me and I’m too exhausted to think. I spent the day outside at a theme park. Yes, I know. It was 103. I know. Besides, I love books. 1. A book that changed my life. I can’t really name just one, but The Sound and the Fury is definitely a biggie. Also,…

I’ve been tagged to write five weird things about myself. Only five?! 1. If I have to run to catch a plane or a train, it’s highly likely I will come very close to wetting my pants. This makes me always early for flights and trains. 2. I sleep with socks on in the winter…

I’m still sorting all this out, but I thought I’d give it a stab. Why do I feel it important to sort through everything? Well, because Blogher was a conference supposedly for women who blog, a place to make them feel safe and free to discuss whatever they wanted. Only, I’m not entirely sure it…

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.…

Dr. Kim liveblogged our session and I’m posting the sites people gave me. Since I don’t know who’s “out” and who’s not, I’m just putting the url’s here.mccunications.blogspot.comsloantech.blogspot.comlauriewrites.typepad.comwww.podcastingnews.comnofancyname.blogspot.com (hmm, who is she?)cluttermuseum.blogspot.comaccidentalpedagogy.typepad.comfemilicious.comnewamericamedia.orgintrotochinese.blogspot.comcyberlaw.stanford.edu/blogs/vogelelipsticking.comonegirloneworld.blogspot.comwww.blogtalkradio.comlizditz.com There were some really cool people there and the discussion was totally fun and interesting.

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

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…

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…
