I haven’t been blogging here as much as I usually do. It’s a combination of factors. Work has me writing more right now than I’ve ever written. I’m also blogging over at Thoughtwrestling, and doing more stuff over at Jester Creative’s blog too. I’m writing content for clients, proposals, scripts – you name it. Many…

You Might Have Noticed I Haven’t Been Here…
It occurred to me today that I haven’t been blogging much over here. Sorry about that. Most of my blogging efforts have been going into a new startup project, Ottawa Tonite. Myself and my friend Cheryl Gain, with the help of MANY wonderful volunteers, built Ottawa Tonite out of the need we saw for a…
Making Space in my Brain
I’m not blogging much. It’s not because I don’t want to, it’s because I’ve discovered that my brain, though very capable at multitasking most things in my life, is only good at so many things at once. For the next 6 weeks or so, I’m going to be working on a part time contract that’s…
Why I Blog
Recently, I’ve had a few people ask me why I write this blog. Of course, there’s no one definitive answer I can give. But just the asking of the question has made me sit back and ponder, what’s this all about? Why do I sit down at my computer a few times a week and…
Uninvited to the Social Media Party
There’s an interesting debate going on this morning over at FriendFeed. It appears that Robert Scoble has blocked one of his followers (I’m not going to name names, if you want to find out who it is, I invite you to seek it out yourself. Go ahead. Google to your heart’s content. I’ll wait). You…
Twitter vs. Facebook – The WIIFM Wars
Hubby and I were having a great conversation over breakfast for dinner tonight. It all started with Gary Vay-ner-chuk, and his chime in the other day about Twitter vs. Facebook. In his video post, he talks about how apps like Facebook need to become more immediate and instantaneous or they are going to be eclipsed…
Looking for photos for your blog? Try MorgueFile.
The other day Chris Brogan wrote a post about easy ways to improve your blog. One of his tips was to use photos to break up the text on your posts. A great tip, images can really add a lot of visual interest and help to drive a point home, too. These days, most people…
I Use the Web Differently Now…Do You?
I have been thinking over the past couple of days how much things have changed online in the past several months. Social networks have gone from early adoption stage to pretty mainstream, and now the early adopters of business are starting to really grab hold of social media as a way to enhance their online…
How to Explain RSS to Your Mom
I am a virtual attendee of Podcamp Toronto 2008. Sadly I was not able to be there in person, so this is the next best thing. I just sat in on a session lead by social media guru Chris Brogan. One thing Chris is great at is putting things into a context that anyone can…
Internet 101
My Mom’s best friend just got on the Internet. Yup, she’s got herself a computer, a dial up connection and a web browser. I think its fantastic! My parents, who have been Internet-savvy seniors for the past few years (mostly because both their technology-professional kids made them!) helped her to get set up and showed…
