Top, Top, AllTop…

Last week I went to hear Guy Kawasaki at the Houston Technology Center here in Houston, where he spoke about the Art of the Start. It was AWESOME. You may not know this about me, but I’m a total marketing and sales junkie. My all-time favorite job ever when working for someone [...]


Mac vs PC - No Fight Gets Bigga…

I have to confess … I am quite in love with my Mac. I still miss the right click though, but at least the two finger tap on the trackpad fills my need for the right click love.


Ed Schipul…

This interview with Ed Schipul is quite fascinating. I love that he covers the future of the internet, where people might be missing the boat, things like NetSquared and just a variety of topics. Ed himself fascinates me every time I’m around him - I’ve never been able to quite nail down what [...]


Correction…

Regarding the article in today’s Business section of the Houston Chronicle, what I actually said was that it was my *last* great moment of geek fame.
I actually had many other moments of geek fame before that, owning a blog hosting company, being a very active blogger, having my websites written about on Yahoo!’s pick of [...]


Technology Bites…

The Windows computers in our house are out to get me.
We bought new Macs back at Christmas, and two weeks ago our desktop computer decided to freak out in response. Yes, I am convinced that the computers know and are revolting because we have betrayed them. The main thing I used that computer as [...]


A Study In Computer Users…

Now that Mike & I both have new computers, it is interesting to see how we use them from the ground up. The night we opened them, we spent the same amount of time on them - doing very different things. He went right into downloading things, getting it all set up just [...]


Bitter, Snarky Happy Mac Users…

For YEARS people have said to me, “So, you’re a photographer - so you use a Mac, right?”
Uhm, no? They make all the same software for a PC, and I that is what I’ve always used. I married a PC geek. We have lots of Windows machines in our house. More [...]


Get Your Knit On!

I just have to share the love - great books at awesome prices!
Interweave Press announced today its annual, highly anticipated hurt book sale, beginning today at 10 a.m. MDT at http://www.hurtbooksale.com/hurt. More than 125 craft books will be deeply discounted and sold online only on a first-come basis until inventory runs out. This is a [...]


Informal Survey…

Surfing through a zillion photographer sites for inspiration, I need the opinions of others to find out what you like in a photographer’s website.
Do you like sites that have nothing more than a pretty pretty picture or Flash slideshow on the home page? Or do you prefer them to have tons of information there too?
Do [...]


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 [...]


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 [...]
