I’ve been a little anxious about this upcoming weekend.
You see, here in central Florida it’s time for Avitaween – Avitable’s ginormous Halloween party where about 100 people, including about 30 bloggers who I happen to adore, gather in costumes for a night of fun and ridiculous behavior.
See? A completely rational reason to be anxious, [...]

I spent my weekend at a conference about making money online.
Correction.
I spent half my weekend sitting in a conference about making money online thinking, what the hell am I doing here?, and sending an incessant amount of snarky, bitchy, annoying tweets.
I spent the other half of my weekend holed up in my hotel room with [...]

The time has come for me to start my own cult.
I don’t know how it happened.  I certainly wasn’t looking for it.  But I woke up this morning to find that I had 2,000 followers looking to me to lead them.
I mean, clearly that has to be it.
I don’t even know 2,000 people – but [...]

Sarah pointed me to an article in Wired that pretty much sums up my philosophy on life.
Or, at the very least, the point I’ve been trying to make in an ongoing argument with Avitable recently.*
The entire article is a long list of new rules of behavior for “highly evolved humans” – aka, people living in [...]

Yesterday I spewed 1500 words about BlogHer – and got through Wednesday.
The conference didn’t even start, officially, until Friday.
There is just so damn much.
I was in Chicago for five days and every single one of those days was filled with highs and lows and laughter and nervousness and – because it’s me – embarrassing shit [...]

First let me say that any and all BlogHer recaps here will be woefully short on the pretty pictures, because one of the very first things I did in Chicago was drop and break my point and shoot camera.
Y’all are stuck with having to read real and actual words.  Sorry.
SO – Wednesday morning I woke [...]

Dear People Who Already Have BlogHer Recaps and Photos Posted,
Are you high?
Clearly, you are on the good drugs.
Why, when we were meeting and exchanging business cards and trying not to look like perverts while covertly reading one another’s name tags, did you not slip me whatever the fuck it is that you are quite obviously [...]

In two days I leave for BlogHer.
I swear, I can actually hear most of you groaning.
Sure, there are a handful of you who read this blog who will also be attending BlogHer.  And maybe you are just as excited and nervous as I am.  I’m certain you are.
But the rest of you, the bulk of [...]

On Sunday I was going to write a funny post about how Hilly and I spent Saturday pretending to be supermodels.
I was going to show you pictures of our light guy and write funny things on the pictures like “see how we is sexy!” with an arrow pointing to my boob inexplicably hanging out of [...]

So, every Wednesday night, the blogger known as Avitable and I get together on this Internet Talk Show Radio site and we.. well.. argue.
Yep.  That’s about it.
We’ve argued about abortion, capital punishment, arranged marriages and whether or not you should attend social functions with your spouse.
The overall theme of the show is that I am [...]

My hands are shaking so hard right now it’s difficult to type.
I had to use the backspace three times to hammer out that sentence.
One of the most memorable things my mom taught us as children was:
The two worse things you can do are lie and be mean.
It stuck with me.  In my little kid head, [...]

Shari called me last night and asked me how I email pictures to Twitter from my iPhone.  Janice asked me last Friday how I get mobile pictures from FlickR to Twitter without using TwitPic.  I heard a rumor that even the great and powerful Dave2 of Blogography had to have someone show him how to [...]

If you’re looking for something for free, scroll to the bottom of this post. Lazy bastards.
I mentioned last week that I decided to launch a review site about the things women buy and the things women want to buy. I have to assume that, if you’re anything like me, you gave at least [...]

You know, you use the word vagina a few times and suddenly everyone thinks you’re a porn site.
Seriously.
First, it was Panera bread.
If you try to access this site using the free wi-fi provided at any Panera location, you’ll get a message that it is blocked due to inappropriate material. Of course, if you try [...]

“Are all of your friends bloggers?” Susan was looking around my house at the birthday party guests that had arrived. It was hard to miss the fact that nearly all of the adults were faces she recognized from twitter or some other Internet portal.
“Well, a lot of them are,” I explained.
“Man, none of my [...]
