A month or so hiatus can be restful. Or so they say. I say, blogging is restful. A chance to clear the cobwebs and the air, and whatever flurry of ideas are running rampant in my brain. But, I have to admit, that since I started working full time, I have been cleared out of [...]

Women on Writing Women
This article spun out of a series of Tweets from Susan Orlean. It’s a great view into the life of a writing mother: http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/feature/2009/06/11/susan_orlean/index.html

‘Think Before You Tweet’
I love this article from today’s USA Today about the evolving etiquette on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Here’s an excerpt: “We’re in the ‘whee!’ stage of social networking. The trend for 2010 is that everyone is going to cut back, filter, decide whether we really need to follow 1,000 people if they’re [...]

Watch Those Thumbs!
From NY Times: “Based on our experiences with computer users, we know intensive repetitive use of the upper extremities can lead to musculoskeletal disorders, so we have some reason to be concerned that too much texting could lead to temporary or permanent damage to the thumbs.”

Twitter vs. Facebook
“The more I Twitter, the less I Facebook.” I follow @susanorlean on Twitter, and this was her deft post today. It caught my eye because I am the opposite. The more I Facebook the less I Twitter. But what comes next is interesting. She wonders if she Twitters more because she would rather blast out [...]

Facebook Nation Part III
This will be my last post regarding Facebook, at least for the time being. I promise. In the meantime, here is some background. Pretend it is 2002 again. Yes, that is seven years ago. What were you doing? Who were you friends with? What were they doing? Me, I was joining Friendster. You probably never [...]

Facebook Nation Part II
So, about 36 hours after venturing into Facebook land, about 12 of those hours have been spent on Facebook. The other hours, obviously, I did much more insignificant things, like child rearing, graduate school paper writing, eating dinner with good friends, working out, getting therapy. You know, the mundane things in life. My Facebook time, [...]

Facebook Nation
I have just crossed over into the dark side. That is, I have just joined Facebook. After all my hemming and hawing over the ruins of Facebook and social networking sites, in general, last night I broke down and signed up. I can already feel it sucking the life blood from my veins. I feel [...]
