Well, well. One day out from the end of NaBloPoMo and I’m back here blogging. Surprised? I’m not. Who am I kidding, I can’t stay away from you guys! Actually, love you though I do, it’s because of all these blogs putting together their holiday gift guides that have me in quite the Christmas present [...]
Posts under ‘the Internet’
West Coast bound and #tenbuckthursday
Hey folks, I know I’ve been slightly MIA lately but trust me when I say that work and life have been incredibly busy lately. That’s why you’re getting a two-for-one blog post today. Prepare yourselves. First of all, I’m excited to say that I am headed to the left coast tomorrow for a little business [...]
The big list.
No, not that list. (Wait, which list did you think I was talking about?) I was referring to the list of wedding blogs I read (and yes, it is a big list, as you will see in a moment). Twice now I’ve been asked for this (I guess I’ve blabbed so much about how many [...]
Wow, two posts in one day.
Bet you never thought you’d see it happen. The reason for this wondrous occurrence is that the ever-lovely Ms. Pamela Seiple tagged me in a photo meme. Since we all know what a fan I am of memes (and I think this one works well because it’s so simple), I decided to join in. This one, called the [...]
Handmade holiday.
This year, I’ve decided to do all my holiday shopping on Etsy, the website that allows people to buy and sell handmade items. As a lover of the arts AND the crafts, Etsy is one of my favorite places to play online. Anything you could think of buying – jewelry, stationery, household decor, paintings, woodwork, [...]
Two enthusiastic thumbs up.
Last night, the best and brightest in social media gathered in Boston for the first of many events that use social media tools to incite social change – and I think everyone would agree that it was a smashing success. I’m sure everyone’s photos and other media will be rolling in over the next 48 hours [...]
A fresh start.
Well, hello there. My, it’s been long time, hasn’t it? I’ve been somewhat neglectful of my blog for a few weeks now, mostly because I went on vacation and took a self-imposed “social media break.” But also because my good friend, Matt Knell, and I have been up at odd hours working on classing up [...]
I once started a Twitter trend. #ramday
(For those readers who don’t know what Twitter is, I suggest watching this video before you read this post.) ————— Last Thursday I saw someone tweeting something that struck me as somewhat random. And I liked it. I thought, that’s really cool. I love learning offbeat things about people. And that was the beginning of [...]
Five Lessons from PodCamp Boston
This weekend the PodCamp train came to Boston, leaving a mass of tired (but excited) campers and little stuffed cows in its wake. For those of you who don’t know, PodCamp is a “conference-like” gathering of anyone and everyone interested in social media. I say “conference-like” because PodCamp bills itself as the “un-conference,” essentially, a conference [...]
Flock to It!: Bookworms on a budget
One of the best perks, so far, of having my own blog has been learning from the people who read it. Of course that was something I expected and hoped for when I started my journey in to social media, but unlike services like Twitter, which is so obviously a conversation between people, blogging seemed–at [...]
