Pretty much everything I thought of posting here recently was something that was better off not posted here. I’ll have some photos and video from my visit to Vintage Vinyl for Record Store Day later. Got this and a few others while I was there! Also came across these awesome Twitter plates while browsing catalogs. [...]

bounce wobble
I feel like a superball bouncing around in a 2ft square box. A slightly warped superball. No control over where I’m heading, but slowly feeling the equilibrium coming back. Eventually I’ll settle into a slow wobble then sit there silently until someone picks up the box and shakes it again. Things happen when they happen [...]

I’m in a place
I don’t blog about just me as much as I used to. That’s what this blog was created as, a place for me to blog about whatever I feel like. I’m truly interested in all these other topics, but they’re just that- topics. Not necessarily the stuff that comes purposelessly flying out of my head [...]

Making Facebook (Time) Suck Less
With so many family members and old friends signing up for Facebook I thought it might be time for a post on how to use Facebook without losing hours of your life that you’d rather be doing something else with (like using Twitter…?) Plan to spend an hour or so for the initial setup. If [...]

(Very) Random SXSWi highlights
As most of you know I finally traveled to Austin TX for the annual South by Southwest Interactive conference (SXSWi). I’ve been wanting to go since 2007 when, shortly after I joined Twitter, I started following social media types talking about the conference. Attending this year was a pretty last minute decision. It’s expensive, for [...]

The story behind my new cards
A funny thing about this online world I travel in is that when you meet in person an exchange of business cards is almost mandatory. Even though we have all kinds of electronic doohickeys into which we can input contact info for everyone we meet, we trade cards like, well, trading cards. So over the [...]

Rocked the day
It just now hit me that I rocked this day. I didn’t set out to get much done, considering the way it started… Last night, my youngest had a 2.5 hour coughing fit just after going to bed. I sat up with him then when he finally settled down and fell asleep I stayed up [...]

Twitter Won’t Make You Rich…
Yesterday I met a bunch of local people who use Twitter. I already know a bunch of local people who use Twitter, but these were (mostly) new to me. Was fun meeting them all! The first thing that struck me was that there was an agenda! And a scheduled speaker! Usually we just pull out [...]

We’re in business
Today my LLC paperwork arrived. I’ve been working as a sole proprietorship but now Pixel Currents LLC is an entity of its own, and I feel like a real business owner! Today Pat officially became a partner in his company as well. So we’re both business owners. Scary but exciting. Not sure this is a [...]

Facebook Connects the Dots
Suddenly my life is flashing in front of me, and it’s all on Facebook. It started slowly. I joined Facebook and mostly added people I knew from Twitter, because, well, that’s who was there! Aside from my kids & their friends, it was mostly the early adopter crowd (and my kids ignored my invites.) As [...]

Let’s go get it
“A lot of the core of our songs is the American idea: What is it? What does it mean? ‘Promised Land,’ ‘Badlands,’ I’ve seen people singing those songs back to me all over the world. I’d seen that country on a grass-roots level through the ’80s, since I was a teenager. And I met people [...]

A Lesson Learned Via Server Logs & Twitter
Last night I was going through my server logs for Pixel Currents, curious to see who was visiting the site and how they found it. I noticed a few people had clicked through from a couple twitter accounts belonging to people I don’t know, so of course I headed over to Twitter to see what [...]

Volunteer Personalities
Over the years I’ve volunteered here and there (not quite as much as my husband, of course.) President Obama has issued a “call to service” encouraging volunteerism, which is nice. But as my tenure as treasurer for our Cub Scout pack draws to a close (my youngest graduates to Boy Scouts in March) and I [...]

Tweeting Obama’s Speech
As we celebrated the Inauguration of President Obama (love typing that…) yesterday I, of course, was hanging out on Twitter. During his speech I was moved a couple times to grab a quote and post it. “restore science to it’s rightful place” WOOO! and “our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.” I quickly [...]

Human Touch
I’m not sure what the final numbers are, but a whole mess of people got together this weekend just to hang out in a basement in Milwaukee. They came from California, Arizona, Connecticut, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, and even England. They flew to one of the coldest places in the USA just to hang out. [...]
