A Post in 140 Words: Catherine Remembers Events Accurately

By Catherine Winters | Published: June 16, 2010
I’m told certain people have trouble keeping their writing punchy and to the point. Apparently. As I recently told Renee, what Twitter’s done for me–yes, beyond all the espresso machines people keep trying to give me–is force me to tighten up my writing. I wondered if Twitter’s limit of 140 characters helps me keep my [...]

Catherine Winters is not the top hit for “Second Life Vancouver”

By Catherine Winters | Published: July 31, 2009
This week, the Georgia Straight’s Stephen Hui interviewed me for Straight.com’s weekly Geek Speak feature. I just finished reading the interview and I’m happy to confirm that I didn’t sound insane or say anything terribly inappropriate this time. I find I do have something of a tendency to do this. If we’ve spoken in any [...]

Blogathon 2009: The morning after.

By Catherine Winters | Published: July 26, 2009
Well, I like to think I came close to making it, anyway. Unfortunately, my ability to hammer out posts dried up shortly before I literally tipped out from exhaustion, so those of you at home missed out on the effects of that. Thanks to those of you who donated directly and to those of you who [...]

Blogathon 2009: What does Marcellus Wallace look like?

By Catherine Winters | Published: July 25, 2009
So I’m working on a single-serving site to finally make use of my other domain. Functionally, it’ll be a business card of sorts, featuring a more coherent bio, with links to the various ways I can be contacted online. Ultimately, I suspect I’ll roll this site into it. Anyway, while the art style I’m using is [...]

Blogathon 2009: What kind of site do you think this is, anyway?

By Catherine Winters | Published: July 25, 2009
So I was checking out my Google Analytics stats just now to gauge the impact Blogathon is having upon my site traffic. Answer: lots. Obviously. However, I couldn’t help but notice a number of interesting searches by which people are coming here. Okay, that’s different. Other bewildering search terms people used to arrive here include: [...]

Blogathon 2009: To WordTwit or not to WordTwit?

By Catherine Winters | Published: July 25, 2009
So I hadn’t tweeted announcements of my Blogathon blog posts for fear of totally spamming the hell out of my Twitter, but everyone else seems to be doing it — and in fact, are surprised that I’m not. So what the heck, let’s do this.   I’m told WordTwit is the “dear Twitter: I posted on [...]

“Down with spam! Up with Vioxx!”

By Catherine Winters | Published: July 9, 2009
If you blog, you may have noticed that you tend to get lots of spam comments. Lots. Possibly even three or four orders of magnitude more spam comments than legitimate posts. (Use WordPress? Run Akismet. Seriously.) Speaking personally, in my comment moderation queue, I see that Ab, Ada, Addie, Addison and Azox have taken offense [...]

Catherine talks to the ladies

By Catherine Winters | Published: August 4, 2008
“Anyway, I met that guy at a blogging conference,” I said. She cut me off: “Flogging conference!?” she exclaimed, seemingly both intrigued and alarmed. After we cleared that up, I mentioned an idle interest in video blogging and suggested I might try my hand at it at some point. “So what would you talk about?” she asked. I [...]

Aren’t all blogs supposed to have one of these after an extended absence of posts?
