It’s that time of the week again–time for just a few of the things that caught my eye on Pinterest this past week. For those who think Pinterest is just for wedding, baby, nail and style pictures, have you tried browsing the Technology category? I hadn’t ever looked at that view before but figured you […]
Five Apps I’m Loving….Or At Least Trying
I hate winter. I basically don’t go outside when it’s cold, which makes for a lot of indoor time for me between about November and April each year. Besides going to a lot of movies, I tend to spend a lot of time at home during winter months either reading, watching TV or movies and, […]
New Adventures
Whew, this has been a busy fall. Work, speaking at a bunch of conferences, beginning to study for the CAE exam, ASHA’s annual convention, a new kitten with ringworm who wreaked havoc on our house, kid stuff, life stuff….I’m exhausted just thinking about the past few months. And sad, as so much commotion has meant […]
Fun Fall Times
It’s been way too long since I’ve written anything and I miss it. At the same time, I just feel that I’ve totally lost my way with basically all things online. I’ve been waiting for it to pass, but so far, it still hasn’t. I don’t know if it’s just because it’s crazy busy season […]
Help Bring “SMAC! Sock Monkeys Against Cancer” to Life!
I know I never do guest posts, but this is an exception I’m happy to make. My friend Jennifer Windrum, the author of this post, is an incredible person and I’m honored to be able to help her spread the word about her efforts to raise awareness about lung cancer, even as her mother fights for […]
What Verizon Doesn’t Want You to Know About Their Internet Service
So you know from my last post about the troubles I’ve been having with Verizon internet for months. For months, I have dealt with the internet in my house dropping throughout each day. Inconvenient and not ok since I work from home part of the time. My husband and I have spent hours and hours […]
Are Conference Apps Ready for Prime Time?
As I get ready to ship out to Dallas for ASAE’s Annual Meeting at the end of this week, I’ve realized it’s probably about time to plan out my schedule for what I’ll be doing once I’m there. The paper meeting program ASAE sent me a few months ago? Long gone–I am not one for […]
What Does “Have it All” Even Mean?
My feelings about the epic article about women and careers in The Atlantic that has everyone buzzing are thoroughly conflicted. As much as I agreed with and appreciated some of the issues the author raises in the article, as just a regular woman who is neither an ivy league professor nor a current or former […]
Summer Reading and Other Fun, Non Social Media Stuff
Every year about this time I hit a blogging wall and just don’t feel like spending a bunch of time online. Well, more time than the ridiculous amount of time I already spend online for work stuff, that is. And if I had a dollar for every blog post I’ve ever written about being burnt […]
Who “Owns” Content?
Seems like every other thing I’ve read this past week has been about curation and/or content marketing. Call me a snob, but something about the word “content” makes the writer in me cringe just a lil’ bit. Is that what writing has come down to–a delivery mode for marketing messages? Granted, in the context of […]
