Your Clients Want Social Media

I’m so tired of people doubting social media. I’m tired of people judging whether or not it works or not wanting to use it “because it’s scary/uncontrollable/etc.” I mean really, if we stopped doing everything that was “scary” or only did things we could control, how boring would life be?

Oktoberfest Zinzinnati

B, B’s brother and I made the trip down Friday night [...]

I just finished a great book. If you love learning about social media then I definitely recommend Here Comes Everybody by Clay Shirky. Not only did I learn more about how my favorite social media sites got started (twitter, Wikipedia, flickr, etc.) but he also writes about the history of “communities” in society.
The book starts [...]

Great weekend

I’m sure my last blog post left you on the edge of your seat wondering, what will she do? How will she survive B’s birthday? Since you’ve been eagerly awaiting (I’m sure) I’ll update.
Birthday went fine! Better than fine – Great!! I stopped stressing over a gift and ended up with a great gift:

Birthday Boy Blues

It’s that time of year again- stress, anguish, anxiety and confusion. It can only mean one thing: September and therefore B’s birthday.
Why do I have such a hard time getting him a gift? We’ve been dating for a few years now (and living together for 1), so you think it would just get easier. But [...]
