Yes, Karin, I do have 972 blogs.
The Internet called me recently and asked if I’d start a blog of haikus for IT guys. I figured, why not? I’m not that busy.
Phew… the Internet is a demanding master. When we meetup each day, it’s always asking me to look over here, click this link, read this [...]
NPR visited BlogHer 2009 in Chicago this week and raised the issue of blogger ethics that I’ve been ranting about for years now (can you believe I’ve been blogging for YEARS? How weird is that?)
The question is: If a blogger is receiving a product from a company to “review,” what incentive (if you haven’t had [...]
Why I Love The Moth
When I was about seven or eight years old, I got fixated on the idea of creating a neighborhood newspaper. I would gather stories, write them, publish them using my parent’s typewriter, and deliver them to my neighbors’ mailboxes.
So I did. I went around interviewing my family, and Mr. Petty [...]
Let’s face it… Neither you nor I can think of a single thing we don’t like about Kelly Ripa. I mean, come ON! Witty, freakin’ adorable, snazzy dresser (but not too showy!)– she is the ultimate Gracie Allen to Regis’s 958 year-old George Burns.

Or… How to Not Feel Bad When an Ex Won’t Friend you On Facebook
Here’s the story about a really OLD boyfriend of mine (a-long-time-ago OLD, not practically-dead OLD) that I think most of you will like. It’s kinda long, but I don’t think bullet points are appropriate, so suck it up.
His name isn’t “Bob” but [...]

I won’t bore you with a laundry list, I’ll just provide one or two examples, in images. [...]
Here’s a new, non-regular segment for you that perhaps will help me cope with the grieving process of no longer living in London: English Things I Miss, subtitle, Though Not Necessarily So Much That I Would Move Back to the God-Forsaken Land of Clouds and Complaining.
First English Thing I Miss:

It might seem random [...]
My husband, maybe to mock my attachment to my typewriter, or maybe just to give me the good news, sent me this article, today. It breaks the much-awaited news (at least around our place) that two of the greatest entertainment inventions: TiVo and Netflix, are going to join forces.
This is akin to the Wonder [...]
Lately I’ve been keeping my laptop packed up in my backpack. It’s been getting Jan Brady’s worth of my attention these days.
The combination of feeling overwhelmed (over-digged, over-twittered, over-booked) and of being the proud mother of conflicting pieces of beautiful technologies has caused me to rework my communication priorities. Here they are:
