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 […]
I needed a change, and thanks to the fabulous talents of Derek Powazek and a little code-fu of my own, I have one. Code-fu which even involved CSS, because the center column wasn’t 500 pixels wide, so my photos were messing up the page. 500 pixels is the default medium size from Flickr, […]
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 […]
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 […]
So Google is at it again. A few weeks ago, I noticed a sudden drop in my Google pagerank on this site. Seems Google didn’t like that I had text link ads on my sidebar. Now? If you do a search for something that should bring up ScriptyGoddess as a result, […]
First, I didn’t want an iPhone.
Then they lowered the price, and the gadget geek in me started to toy with the idea. I mean, just think! I could use it to show people my portfolio, no matter where we were! (This may be completely unrealistic, because I have no idea how it […]
Years ago, I set up WinAmp to generate a list of what I last listened to that then uploaded itself to my server and displayed on my blog sidebar. It was pretty sweet. Now I almost never listen to music through the computer since I work at home, so there is no point. […]
I know the geekosphere is clamoring for the iPhone. Everyone seems to want one. Well, everyone but me.
I don’t want one, and it is for one very specific reason - the reason that Apple says is the cool thing about it. It has no buttons. No keys for dialing a number. […]
I adore Twitter. I’ll admit it. I liked sending updates from my phone while I was at SXSW this year, and I’m now hooked. If you don’t already follow me on Twitter, feel free to add me so I can add you too! And now, if you can’t get enough Twitter, […]
In today’s climate, it is very important to have a personal brand. It will make you memorable to the people that meet you, and networking is very key no matter what you do for a living, and even outside of work.
I came across two items today that can help you define your personal brand, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 - […]
