Scrapblog Away!
I just spotted the link on the Scrapblog site – their Scrapblog Builder is available to the public!
This is what they have to say:
As you visit us and create your scrapblogs, please bear in mind that we’re still tidying up and tying up some loose ends. We’re a small team that has worked incredibly hard [...]
Stop Cyberbullying Day…
Do you have a presence online? Do you have kids that use the internet? Then you should stop and think about this.
Maybe these headlines will catch your attention:
Cyberbullies scare schoolgirls into stripping online.
According to iSafe, 43% of the youth population report being bullied online.
Yeah, you thought it was just a geek thing, didn’t [...]
Scrapblog Update…
I mentioned when I returned from SXSW that I had learned about Scrapblog while I was there. I had this total fangirl moment when I met Hugh MacLeod, and after I settled down I then spoke with Alex and he explained to me somewhat how it all worked. Of course, it didn’t make [...]
Cyberstalking and Fear Online…
I joked last week with Erica that she is like Christine 2.0. You see, I used to blog a lot more than I do now, and my posts used to be different in nature than they are today. I’m working on getting back to that, on becoming Christine 3.0. Or Web 7.2 [...]
Get Your Snazzy Icons!
I signed up awhile back with IconBuffet when I bought a set of fabulous icons for the Fresh Photography site. After that, I discovered a whole world of FREE icons that they offer up. Free, beautiful, lovely icons.
Collecting fonts and icons, to me, is so much fun. I don’t know why – [...]
Flickr Notification – At Last!
I’m doing the happy dance right now, as I just discovered that Flickr has added the option of getting an e-mail whenever someone comments on your photos, or once a day with a comment summary. Sweet! It is one of those “wishlist” items I have had for a long time with Flickr.
There are [...]
So Much to Say, So Little Time…
My life is a list of bullet points recently, it seems. Not really – but that is the easiest way to sum it up here.
- I have taken on a contract assignment at Schipul to assist with some site migrations. I’m knee deep into using Tendenci and all I can say is … [...]
Overwhelming Cuteness…
I tried, but I couldn’t resist posting this one. The cuteness overwhelms me!
Last Minute Road Trip…
Bluebonnets, taken along the side of Highway 290, between Brenham & Giddings, Texas.
This weekend was the weekend for seeing people from out of town. How fabulous! Kathy was in town from Dallas for her friend’s son’s first birthday, so we got together at Elaine’s to watch Rumor Has It and hang out.
Saturday was [...]
Sweet, Sweet Baby…
For the record, I adore newborn babies. This child was just 15 days old on Tuesday when I met him. Right after the bottle break that had me photographing the cat in the last post, his father came home for lunch and we took a quick opportunity to capture this shot with him. [...]
Really, You ARE Fabulous…
“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”
– Mark Twain
Web 7.2…
Over the past few weeks (ok, years, but it has been really heavy the past few weeks), I have heard the term Web 2.0 tossed around a lot. Thank goodness for Wikipedia, I finally found a definition:
Web 2.0, a phrase coined by O’Reilly Media in 2004,[1] refers to a perceived second generation of web-based [...]
Tapping into My Creative Geek Side…
Before I started knitting and went back to school, I used to post a lot about geek related topics. Over time, between the crafty side and school work, my focus on that has dropped off – at least on this blog. (In reality, it is not something I can let go of – [...]
Pearl Links…
I will be expanding this post in the future, but as I find handy things for the Pearl that I like, I will post them here on my site. So far we have:
- How to put Video on your Pearl – It is Katherine’s fault that I own a Pearl now, because she told [...]
Pearl post…
Testing writing a post from the Pearl. Why does WordPress refuse to remember me?
In Houston? Get Refreshed!
Refresh Houston is meeting on Monday night; a special meeting with H-Town’s very own Photomatt! (We still get to claim him even though he lives in California now, right?) What is Refresh Houston?
Refresh Houston is a community of designers and developers working to refresh the creative, technical and professional culture of new media [...]
Pick a Phone…
Samsung Blackjack, Blackberry Pearl or a Palm Treo … which one would you pick, and why?
Please discuss.
Things Are Changing…
I haven’t been feeling the BigPinkCookie love for awhile. In part, probably because it has changed so much from what I used to write about, and after SXSW I realize how much I miss the things I used to talk about.
Basically, life has gone full circle, and I want to go back in some [...]
Crafty Geeks!
I don’t normally cross-post between this site and Pointy Sticks, but I had to share my crafty goodness from SXSW. This is normally a geek festival, and I went in part for reasons related to the podcast and in part related to Fresh Photography. It ended up being so very, very much more. [...]

Cookies on the Side
Hi! I'm Christine. I've been blogging here since 2000. I am married to Mike. I have a son, Jason. We have a cat, Mona. We live in Houston, Texas.
I love helping other photographers and other small business owners improve their businesses. Most of my posts here are related to that, although sometimes I write about personal things as well.
I am currently available for business & blogging consulting and assisting you with WordPress. Contact me for more details.
I am a wedding and boudoir photographer and I'm available both in Houston and for travel worldwide. I would love to be a part of your wedding!
You can buy prints of my photography.
In addition to photography and geek things, I sometimes knit. I even used to have a knitting podcast, PointySticks.
