President Barack Obama

I can’t even believe it. I feel like this day has been coming, and also has been so far off. I remember when, my sister, Gina first mentioned working with Barack in the Illinois legislature and how she held him in such high regard. Then as he took the Senate seat in Illinois, gave his [...]

Carsonified gave out personalized journals for all attendees of FOWA

Ryan Carson and his crew at Carsonified continue to make the web a human place. They recently put on the Future of Web Apps conference in London.

Alex King’s Twitter Tools plugin

I am now using Alex King’s Twitter Tools plugin. I’ll be using this to send my blog posts to my Twitter feed. There seem to be great back and forth integration with this plugin, but I think for now I’ll just be using it to send blog posts to Twitter and not Tweets to the [...]

Twitter errors abound today

My experience as a Twitter-er

Recently Amy from Stewart Design posted about using Twitter as a business tool. As some of you might remember, I reluctantly entered the “Tweetosphere” a while back. It was only once I started following other people and engaging with them via Twitter that I realized the value. People have asked for advice, tweeted about sites, [...]

Reading actually is Fun(damental)

This summer, I’ve read. I’ve read real books. Five of them since May. For some that’s actually a slow reading summer, but for me, I average about maybe 2 books a year. So 5 in a couple of months is pretty amazing. The really cool part about it is that the books weren’t totally related [...]
