I consider myself a rational person. One who relies on logic and reason to come to conclusions about all manner of things. Just the other night I was asked if I believe in destiny, and I didn’t have to think about it long before answering no. (I do, however, believe in karma.) I believe most …

A New Obsession
I research social media tools as part of my day job, and my latest task has been to find the best social monitoring and listening applications. One site that’s come up again and again is klout.com. From the website: The Klout Score is the measurement of your overall online influence. The scores range from 1-100 …
The Curse of an Overactive Imagination, Part 2
I’m saying part two because I’m fairly confident I’ve talked about this before. Yesterday on my way home from work, I took my usual exit off the highway and looped beneath the drawbridge that connects our two towns, but instead of whipping past the river and climbing to the next bridge, I had to swerve …
This is Whatcha Want, Whatcha Really Really Want… to Know
If you missed Wednesday’s post, you also missed your chance to ask me whatever you’ve been wondering about me, but those who did chime in covered quite a a broad range of topics. Here goes! Adam asked “What’s it like being so little?” Also, “What equipment do you use for your graphics work (software and …
Tell Me Whatcha Want, Whatcha Really Really Want… to Know
I’ve been meaning to do a question post for quite some time, but frankly I’ve been a little afraid of what you might ask. Nonetheless, I’m opening up the comments to your questions (as opposed to the usual super-duper secret comments), and Friday I’ll answer them. At my discretion, of course. So… ask away!
The Macbook Has Landed
I have my new Macbook! I went to the store Friday night fully expecting to have to wait another week before getting my baby, but they had what I wanted in stock! As you can imagine I spent the weekend installing software, transferring data, and figuring out how to carry such a honking laptop around. …
A Moment of Silence
My beloved Mac, who’s stood by my side for almost seven years, will be put to rest in the next few days. Starting with that first journey from the Apple Store on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, to a four-day trip across the US and Mexico buried beneath a pile of boxes and clothes so no one …
Long Lost Friends
Over the past year I’ve slowly sorted through the piles of boxes stored in my parents’ garage. (I have a LOT of wine glasses, but no silverware.) I’ve rediscovered photos and games and clothes, but one box in particular had completely vanished. Figures it was the box of my favorite books. Well look what I …
The Winners!
Holy wow you guys! Thank you so much to everyone who spread the word about the contest. I had triple the normal number of hits last week, and I even gained new followers! *waves to new followers* But that’s not why you’re here. You want to hear about all the writers I met this weekend! …
HOOHAH: The Finalists
ETA: Voting is now closed. First, a HUGE thank you to everyone who entered the contest, spread the word, and laughed at me with me in my video. I’ve had a lot of fun with this contest and will definitely be doing more vlogs in the future. (No, don’t go unfollowing me…) Now, on to …
