Thanks to Meez.com, here I am in NOLA, at Mardi Gras, just blogging away!
Once again, another great blog conference way far away in north California… All the sessions look informative and offer the blog basics, still I reviewed the schedules for days 1 and 2 for anything trauma-related [remember BloggerCon had that Emotional Life of weblogs?] and finally saw this: Closing Keynote – Creating Your Platform: Chris Nolan [...]
Yes, you read that correctly… I’d like to preface this by saying I am a sophisticated Minnesota Twins fan, but I had to blog about what happens across the state at the Milwaukee Brewers’ Miller baseball park: weenie races. And it looks like another sausage has joined the group, previously comprised of Italian, bratwurst, Polish [...]
Via Jim Moore, Damien Mulley‘s blog post on “How to use Google to get a girl and get laid.” What a piece of visual rhetoric! P.S. Also from Jim, this tool: Top 10 Sources. I created an account about a month ago but wasn’t sure what I should make a list of, personal or academic. [...]
Sharon is participating in this Blogathon [see FAQ here] and I thought I should give it a plug. I wish I had heard about it sooner, otherwise I’d join her but I think it’s a little late to ask for sponsors. Also, starting Friday I have a goal of writing 2 pages a day of [...]
Which Sondheim show are you? You are INTO THE WOODS! You have big dreams and are determined to make them come true, but be careful what you wish for. Dreams really do come true and definitiely not without a price. You need to face the giants in your life and confront them before they smash [...]
While the Madonna concert was the highlight of the Miami trip, we did go to the beach a couple of times. Let’s just say it wasn’t all picture perfect…
Girls weekend in Miami–me, my friends Sarah and Desi, and Madonna! The concert was fabulous, yet political at times. I liked the images she used during Live to Tell and Sorry but felt that her accusation of people only “talking the talk and not walking the walk” was totally contradicted when she later yelled to [...]
Had an awesome weekend in Miami and will blog about that later. Right now I have more cabinet replacement people in my apt. so I am gonna keep this short and take refuge in my bedroom! Via a comment from Wet Bank Guide, I’ve just been informed of a BloggerCon-like conference to take place in [...]
I have to get on the road for a 4+ hour drive to Miami, but wanted to share the link to the PDF of the newest Pew Internet and American Life Project report: Bloggers: A portrait of the internet’s new storytellers I think it is most interesting that “most bloggers are primarily interested in creative, [...]
There was such an event and I missed it! I read about it here on SophMom and on Editor B’s blog. Here is the link/description of the dinner, which sounds very much like the Friday night dinners at BloggerCon, and which is all the more reason I am kicking myself for not knowing about it [...]
We went to NOLA this past weekend and it was a wonderful trip. Lots of restaurants reopening, musicians performing and other signs of normalcy all around, but this time I saw more of the vacant neighborhoods and gutted houses. Streets and streets are completely desolate and you wonder where all these people are. Every place [...]
I’ve just added more categories to my blog, finally, and hope to make use of them when I return on Monday. Til then, here are a few more links regarding social software and pending legislation: Growing Up in Public Librarians Fight for Facebook
I’ve seen the name Carolyn Ellis on various articles (most likely during my research methods courses) and knew she was at USF, but now that I’m researching and reading more trauma theory-related stuff, I have come across her work on autoethnography and want to meet with her, talk to her, work with her! Her recent [...]

Well lookee here: Facebook may be awash in inside jokes and party photos, but the social-networking site isn’t all fun and frivolity: It’s starting to become something of a force in political campaigns.
Unbelievable game! Watched it with fellow Italians and none of us have our voices after screaming the entire time. Go read and watch video clips here and here. EDITED to include link to official FIFA website and this pic.
I’ve had these tabs open for so long and I figure it’s time to share them. I realize now that they all have a teaching connection, so here you go: Paying Attention to Technology: Writing Technology Autobiographies Defining Literacy in a Digital World both of which were authored by Tengrrl Using Social Software in the [...]
I have already had enough experience from my Masters and PhD English Departments to know that pursuing an English degree or teaching writing is not as romantic an endeavor as Dead Poets Society painted. The essay “Goodbye, Mr. Keating” from the Chronicle Careers section emphasizes that when he writes, “I simply want to demonstrate that [...]
Everyday my boyfriend diligently sits at his computer and writes and writes. I, in the other room, set to the task to read, usually end up watching Young and the Restless. But eventually I do read and more of it has been from the blogosphere than the texts I assigned myself. So here are some [...]
If you didn’t watch, here’s the wrap and the boys in blue.
