I was on a media panel today

This is cross-posted from Hack Bend (I was there in a "Hack Bend" capacity) because it’s cool and I’m just narcissistic enough to post multiple times: Last month I had been invited to be on media panel at the Deschutes County offices, as the resident blogging expert representing how blogging and "new media" are becoming… Continue reading I was on a media panel today

Six years of blogging

It’s been at the back of my mind recently that this month marks six years of blogging for me.

March hangover

Not a hangover in the literal sense, but it sort of feels that way because I’m not sure where March went and I’m sitting here looking at the calendar thinking, "Where the hell did April come from?" Like it’s already starting out with that thick, muzzy-headed pounding that you have with a hangover. Seriously, what… Continue reading March hangover
