(Your sponsorship here)

I’m back from BlogHer 09 (which given my tweets of the past few days, I am surprised I did not automatically call #blogher09 here) and starting to process what went on.  I have a unique perspective, in that I attend BlogHer both as a blogger, and a female (dare I say “Mommy”?) blogger, but also [...]

HOPE = the “Anti-BlogHer”

While I was attending BlogHer this past weekend (“Really?  You were there, because I haven’t read all that much about it on your blog or anywhere else!”) my colleague David was attending what was billed as the Last HOPE conference.   We both had the time of our lives at our respective conferences, but as we [...]

I blog, therefore I am

I guess Dooce’s post was more inspirational than I thought…this post has been brewing for a little while now, it’s about time I got it up here. 
When IT Boy was born, I started a blog.  Not this one, but one for family only, to view pictures of him and sister, and to hear about what [...]

BlogHer Business Day 1

Well, I survived to tell the tale.  I’m not talking about the most excellent BlogHer Business conference in NY.  No, I’m talking about commuting home on MetroNorth.  Mr IT took his usual 5:30 train, and I took a 6:15 train, figuring I would take a cab home from the train station.  Once we got out [...]

A Case Study in the Making

At SXSW, I had the good fortune to connect with a lot of people.  One of them was Wendy Piersall, aka eMom.  She made a point of telling me that she’s been spreading the word about Wiley.  How we understand how bloggers operate and really seem to want to exist in a Web 2.0 world.  [...]

You say it’s your birthday…

A big giant “happy birthday” goes out to my pal Patricia today.  I’m not normally one for marking the tick of the clock in this blog, but it’s as good an excuse as any to direct you to her blog.  For someone who just started in the blogging game, she’s already made an impact.  She’s [...]

Welcome to the Blogosphere – PVE Design

Recently, I gave a talk at a Wiley Lunch and Learn session where I demonstrated the technical aspects of setting up a blog.  The example I used was a local mom and friend who is an incredible artist. 
Well, the blogosphere will be happy to know that the amazing woman behind PVE Design has her blog up and [...]

If I had more time…

This isn’t going to be some philosophical post about life and loss, or what the holidays mean to me, or any crap like that.  No, this is an egotistical and self-serving follow up to our Lunch and Learn yesterday.
Basically, I had 10 minutes to talk about the mechanics of how to set up a blog.  I used [...]

Lunching and Learning and Wishing and Hoping

Today is Monday, a day that normally finds me in PJs and bunny slippers working in the home office.  But I made the trek into the main office today, because it’s a Lunch and Learn (!) day. 
What, you may ask, is a Lunch and Learn?  It’s an opportunity for our marketers to get together and [...]

Work is a four-letter-word

This week is a busy one in IT Land.  My company is involved in our tri-annual division wide sales meeting.  It’s being held at a hotel not far from our offices, but it still presents many challenges in terms of commuting and child care arrangements.  I decided not to stay in the hotel, because I [...]
