I Figure It’s About Time

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.

But what comes next is interesting. She wonders if she Twitters more because she would rather blast out [...]

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.

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 [...]
