A Guest Post on Twitter Stars

Thursday, 31 July 2008 2:48 P GMT-06
Mark Davidson invited me to guest post on Twitter Stars, so you should check that out."It sounds like extreme web 2.0 jargon but it has become my favorite things about Twitter. Because of Twitter, I avoid stories that end with, “Oh man, I

Delighted by Laughter

Monday, 28 July 2008 9:22 A GMT-06
I was taken aback this morning to see a comment on the previous post about God laughing at my plans that said, "explore... the real reason why you feel embarrassed, shamed and inadequate."I don't feel any of those things, as a former st

God is laughing at me

Friday, 25 July 2008 2:17 P GMT-06
I think that God is laughing at me. I'm going to keep this incredibly vague for now, but seriously God is totally cracking up and I am the source of the laughter.

For a nice time call...

Wednesday, 23 July 2008 8:43 A GMT-06
So I've been to a few big industry events this week and I thought I would write a few things here about what I think a party needs for people to have a nice time. Granted, this is a very personal list and I know that I'm not always the audien

Changing my Investments

Tuesday, 22 July 2008 8:19 P GMT-06
Today I burst into tears when my new Realtor asked me, "Did you do anything special when you closed on your condo?" "Yes," and I started to sniffle, "I had Ronnie and Cathy over for champagne."I wasn't able to tell h

Oh hai!

If you are here from the Oy! Chicago article or from one of the many fabulous BlogHer wrap-up posts, I just wanted to say hello and welcome! 

Back from California

Monday, 21 July 2008 6:39 P GMT-06
I'm back from a long week on the road for work. Despite staying in one hotel for 7 of the seven nights, I was exhausted at the end of the week to the point of not being to talk to the amazing women I met on Sunday morning for brunch. And apparent

I keep waiting for something familiar

Wednesday, 16 July 2008 12:41 A GMT-06
I got to San Francisco, via train, yesterday evening. I checked in and then traded texts with colleagues until we met for dinner at the Palace hotel. I'm staying in the heart of Union Square which is a far cry from the 3 bedroom that I lived in t

Dear United;

Sunday, 13 July 2008 4:26 P GMT-06
I'm sitting in a gate at O'Hare airport waiting to board my flight to Sacramento. We are delayed. No surprise there, like I said it is O'Hare and a savvy traveler shouldn't expect to leave on time. What is a surprise is that we boarde

And I'm off.

Sunday, 13 July 2008 10:54 A GMT-06
Last night I gave my extra keys to my house, and more importantly cat, sitter and this evening I'm leaving for a week in Northern California. Lucky for me, most of our offices are fairly close to each other, so I get to stay put in San Francisco

Bandwidth and other things

Saturday, 12 July 2008 4:31 P GMT-06
Every day this week, I've been getting warnings from Blog-City that I'm at risk for going over on my bandwidth this month. I assumed that someone had hot linked to photo and was snagging by bandwidth and I told the support team that. Turns

Friend of a friend, turns out to be friend.

Monday, 7 July 2008 11:21 P GMT-06
I got a note from a friend of Ronnie's in LA.  He's working on a movie and Ronnie said I might be able to help with some blogging stuff. This made me happy, because it means that Ronnie finally understands what it is I do. Then I started

How social media ruined JDate for me.

Sunday, 6 July 2008 10:20 P GMT-06
You know how everyone claims they know a couple that met on JDate or Match.com? My rabbi says that 12 of the last 15 weddings he officiated were from JDate. I actually have friends who met and will soon be engaged and JDate was also how they met

Ode to T-shirt Deli

Friday, 4 July 2008 10:56 A GMT-06
For the second day in a row, I'm sporting my new shirt from the T-Shirt Deli. While I've shopped there before for others, this is my first personalized shirt for myself.  I'm a big fan of personalized shirts as gifts. I gave TokyoBoy

Going to BlogHer

Thursday, 3 July 2008 11:32 A GMT-06
Rumor has it that BlogHer registration closed last night, so everyone knows whether or not they are going. I am going for the third year and am looking forward to meeting a lot of the women I've met on Twitter over the last year.I was wondering i

A Bathroom Manifesto in Eleven Points

Wednesday, 2 July 2008 10:02 P GMT-06
After years of squinting in the dark to tell if the seat was clean, stretching one arm way out in front to keep the stall door closed and sitting side-saddle because the toilet paper dispenser was in my lap, I have a few ideas about how bathrooms sho
