Since I’m an avid reader – otherwise known as a bookworm – and have become a writer of sorts, I’ve noticed I’ve developed a pet peeve.  Maybe it’s being nitpicky, after all it’s just a minor annoyance. However, if you’re writing advertising copy especially for the web, you really should make sure you know how [...]

One of the blogs I read quite regularly is GeekMommy at http://geekmommy.net.  She’s one of the Walmart 11 moms, and often has give aways posted on her blog.  Today, I found a post stating she and several other bloggers were working in conjunction with Izea to give away a trip to Orlando here: GeekMommy’s Orlando [...]

This is more personal than I usually get on here.  Normally, since this site is sitting on the Internet where anyone can see it, I prefer to keep things somewhat casual.
With the class reunion on my mind lately, something else has been on my mind too. It’s been bothering me for the last 8 years – [...]

I’ve been doing more looking at social [...]

My laptop has been OOC (out of commission) for several weeks now.  I think it was just before Christmas when the heat sink & fan died.  I bought one off eBay, but the frelling seller sent me something other than I ordered and I can no longer get a response from him… when I got [...]

Last night when doing some research on Web 2.0 for an article, I decided to join twitter.  Apparently, I joined about 4 hours after my son joined because he was one of the first to be put on the list of people I’m following.  So far, I have 9 people I’m following outta curiousity, including [...]

Just a few notes tonight while I’m trying to wind down.  I haven’t been posting much, but that’s partially the joy and pain of having a newborn around.  I’ve also been swamped between writing assignments for the company I write for and going back to work.  And my laptop has been down for the count, [...]

Just a few random things tonight.  The day after Christmas…
I meant to post a Merry Christmas yesterday, but I was trying to finish a writing assignment a bit early.  Since I couldn’t find any information online, I was getting frustrated. 
I have a new article posted at Associated Content.  You can click here (opens in a [...]
