Northern Voice: Missing Big Conversation, Loving Small Example

This is take two of a post I started writing yesterday. I've tossed that post, but I'll sum up: I didn't love the Northern Voice blogging and social-media conference. I enjoyed hanging out with Carol Browne (who also crocheted her badge lanyard), and it rocked to bump into Zak Greant, with whom I'm already...

Nameless Podcast Episode 1: Diversifying with Jenny Ryan

I've decided to call it Episode 1, which would seem to imply I'm planning on having an Episode 2. So, you know. Yay, podcasting. In this first episode, I talk with Jenny Ryan about all the projects she has going on—a truly diverse array. She's blogging professionally, runs the urban craft fair Felt Club, has...

Facebook: The Beginning of the End

This is not another post about the Facebook Terms of Service (TOS) debacle. Well it is, sort of, but the TOS is not my focus. This is about my prediction that we've now entered the era of Facebook's slow decline. In case you've been too busy worrying about your taxes two months early, I'll recap...

Seven Is an Odd Number. Literally.

Sanskrit. (Image via Wikipedia) Several weeks ago Michael from over at Books on the Nightstand tagged me in a blog meme. I was so pleased that he tagged me! I only started reading book blogs a few months ago (it was around the time I started writing more about books here), and I've loved getting...

Twitter at Its Finest: Television Recommendations

I'm going to have this coming weekend to myself, and I'm feeling a knitting bender brewing. Save for going to see Coraline on Saturday, my plan is to knit my heart out all weekend long.
