I used to update my blog regularly so that my mom wouldn’t freak out over whether I was dead or depressed or something.
But now she just calls me most of the time if she’s worried about me and she’s pretty much too busy to read my blog now anyway.  And if your mom is too [...]

Before Twitter, blogs used to be where the exhibitionists among us shared the daily events of our lives with a world of strangers on the Internet.
Sure, we wrote beautiful prose about our startling insights and observations of human behavior.  We dove into our own inner psyches and peeled back the layers of common sense and [...]

I am not a victim.
Since Monday, I have been overwhelmed with emails, text messages, voice mails and twitters of concern.
I’m sorry, the say.
Are you OK?, they ask.
And every time I read or hear those words, I cringe a little at having evoked a misplaced surge of encouragement.
Don’t be sorry, I say.
I’m OK.
I’m not surprised, of [...]

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 [...]

Because my God I am tired of looking at that other post.
1.  The words “another round” are from Satan himself.
2.  Especially when they are said by someone else and yet, somehow, include you.
3.  Especially if you do not drink as much – or as quickly – as the person saying “another round” who is, somehow, [...]

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 [...]

Thursday’s Child sent this twitter:
“Women Bloggers: Have you seen this yet? I thought you’d find it particularly delicious. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30709961″

Hey, I’m a woman blogger!  So I checked out the link.
Apparently, yet another marketing company is trying to figure out how to market to women.  The computer company, Dell, has recently launched a new site it’s calling [...]

The other day on twitter I informed the Internets that I was finally working through all of the pictures from my Dad’s visit to Florida a couple weeks ago.
Because that is the kind of interesting information I like to share with the world with modern technology.
And while you are mocking me for my mastery of [...]

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 [...]

“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 [...]

Last Thursday night, I attended the Orlando TweetUp hosted by the Orlando Sentinel in… wait for it… Orlando.
Let me tell you about how I wanted to die.
First of all, thank GOD I was meeting Shash, Susan from EggMarketing and Melanie from ModernMami there. The three of them were the sum total of the group [...]
