BlogHer 2010 (yeah, you heard me, 2010)

The BlogHer ’09 conference is going on now in Chicago. I’ve been thinking of going to one since the very first (yes, I’ve been a member of BlogHer since the early days, albeit not a very active member… ‘cept for those ads over there –> ) But the timing, and the traveling, and the other [...]

On the road?

According to my host, Lunarpages, the server upon which this blog sits will be physically moved from LA to San Diego at some point today. I sure hope it doesn’t fall off the truck.

Twitter Effect (one of many)

I’ve recently begun to use the offline blogging tool MarsEdit. Hopefully the ability to compose & store my posts offline will encourage me to blog more often, and maybe improve the quality a bit . Earlier today I sat down to try to flesh out a few of the stubs I’ve started into post-worthy writings, [...]

So neglectful of my blog

Hello blog friends. I’ve been horribly neglectful of you in the past month, despite NaBloPoMo. I was too distracted by my new toy Seesmic, Thanksgiving, then Andy’s little medical thang. Also I’ve got two clients at the moment which have been keeping busy. Yay! But, my dear blog friends, I’ve been thinking about plenty of [...]

Or maybe the answer will just drop out of the sky…

Been thinking about where do I go from here, as far as income-producing activity. Too many options lock me up, although I know too many options is a better place to be than too few. Those options include: Build up Pixel Currents, add content and services, get out there and market myself like mad. Pro: [...]

NaBloPoMo again

I just registered for National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) again. I did this last year and surprised myself by posting each day in November 2006 (at my old blog.) It’s going to be harder this year, since I don’t blog nearly as often as I did thanks to Twitter, the banannielog, flickr, Facebook… but it [...]

I’m over here *waves madly*

September is INSANE! (thanks to YesbutNobutYes for posting all those Crazy Eddie commercials yesterday!) The kids are back to school so we all have to get into a more structured routine after hanging out all summer. The groups I volunteer with follow the school calendar so September is the busiest time. The kids’ activities are [...]

Blog Day 2007 – Fun Reads!

Today is Blog Day! The site suggests that we find 5 blogs we enjoy that are different from our own culture and link to them. Instead I’d like to link to some blogs I read regularly that are specialized little treats. Not really personal blogs, not focused on business. just fun reads. Ironic Sans. A [...]

Social Network Overdosing

I can’t stand it anymore! I belong to at least 10 social networks, plus a couple email lists and a few forums. No one has that kind of time. Even this barely employed freelancer/SAHM. Except maybe those lucky few who get paid to bounce around the internet socializing (hiring? Call me, babe!) Facebook- three strikes, [...]

All the cool kids are link-baiting

It’s Friday, I’m done thinking for the week, but I felt like plopping up a blog post today, so why not jump in with all the A-Listers, led by The Great Jason Calacanis (this is an example of link-baiting, by the way), and post my own link-baiting rules. As you may or may not have [...]

Do bloggers need a code of conduct?

Since the now infamous “Kathy Sierra Debacle,” blogger Tim O’Reilly has been pushing for a Blogger’s Code of Conduct. He put an early draft of one up on his blog. Before I even read it, I scrolled down to see what the commenters had to say. Not surprisingly, there’s not a lot of support there. [...]

Not quite ad-free

I have some ads in my sidebar. Just the basic Adsense ads, nothing I spent much time setting up. I’ve considered adding more, and it’s likely I will at some point, but I’m having trouble getting past my old ad-free mindset. I had a family site on Geocities back in the day (I love talking [...]

Helping Christine

Christine at Big Pink Cookie has asked for a little help: Until I few weeks ago, I was #2 in Google for my name, Christine. Yes, just my first name. At one point in time I was actually #1 in Google, but I’m ok with a movie beating me out of my spot. Then Wikipedia [...]

Turn it around

To all embroiled in the scary situation involving Kathy Sierra (which, sadly, is nothing new, I’ve been called horrible things on the internet myself, and I’ve seen people take internet fights into real life): Please take this opportunity to use your power and influence to open a dialog about what we will and won’t accept [...]
