Bridget Botelho writes about an experience she had at the New England VMware Users Group: My “outsider” paranoia was made poignantly clear when the older gentleman sitting beside me during lunch asked out of sincere curiosity, “So, why do you write about technology? Wouldn’t you rather be writing about fashion or something?” My imaginary response was […]

#Amazonfail
A few weeks ago, I bought a new Kensington Expert Mouse to use at home. A friend helped me out, by having it shipped to her address in Washington to take advantage of a really good deal Amazon.com was offering to US-based customers. I ended up saving something like $60.

Catherine is an authentic blogger
And she updates her site all the time. Seriously.
Sickgue: backups are spiffy!
I’m sick. Sure, I’m getting over it now, but it’s been a couple of days. I’m not actually sure what I have, only that it sucks. So far, I’m pretending it wasn’t due to my walking to the pharmacy in the rain the day before I started seeing symptoms. No, that’s crazy talk. Recently, it seems […]

So I’m at Northern Voice this weekend! Friday’s agenda is MooseCamp: the “unconference”. This morning, people seemed interested in a session about Second Life, so I signed up to run one after lunch. Now even more bloggers know about Goreans, furries and lag. Mission accomplished. Today’s highlights included: Realizing that it’s at the main Point […]
To My Web 2.0 Valentine…
This is what we came up with at Social Signal for Valentine’s Day this year. It’s the perfect way to say “I love you” to that special someone with 800 pictures on Flickr. See? It’s not such a bad holiday after all!
