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.

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. [...]

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 [...]
