Practicing my ABCs and 123s on the internet since 1995.
A topic of conversation lately has been that of receiving “kudos” or accolades. I don’t like public presentation of accolades. I want to hear a genuine, unsolicited response from in the moment. I’ve won a number of awards over the years and that’s all well and good but, the moments I feel like I’ve accomplished… Read more Kudos
I compose a lot of entries in my head. They somehow never make it here. Here’s one that flits in my head often… Throughout my 20+ years as a professional, it has more often than not been men that have stood by me and rallied behind me to get equivalent pay. It has been women… Read more In My Head
I will soon begin a new consulting project. I dare to say it is bigger than any other project that I have ever done. This time I am the one project managing it. I’m a little excited and nervous. It’s a huge project. It is more than twice the size of my largest (which was… Read more Big Things
I made my decision on my business cards and domain. I stuck with my original choice. Josh still isn’t keen on it, but it is my domain. He has his own. Now I am going to just wait for the DNS to resolve. I played around with a logo but in the end I decided… Read more Decided
Today I tested a wired lav mic with my Kodak zi8. We bought a couple for work along with a couple of microphones. One is a hand held Sony microphone and another is an Audio Technica ATR-3350 Lavalier Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone that is clipped on.

Perhaps the title of this entry is misleading. There is no flattery, it’s all theft. I just discovered a site/company/entity is using a photo of mine. While the “credited” me, they did not request permission to use it. The copyright information is listed with the image, but it was still lifted. The annoying thing is,… Read more Theft or Flattery
When I was hired, I had a set task of things I was expected to do. It has been just over two years the scope of my job has changed quite a bit. I’ve been toying around with video editing but because I am just borrowing on of the macs, I don’t have the tools… Read more Scopes
Growing up sucks. I went to school, graduated and grew up. Now I don’t have the time to do the things that I want. Well, I say that but I’m pretty sure if I tried, I could do what I want. I think the responsible side of me out weighs the rest of me. I’m… Read more Growing Up
I am seriously contemplating a return to globe trotting. I traveled a lot in my younger (read pre-teens) and I want to do it again but now with my husband. I’m hoping that recent revelations by my husband about possible discounted travel options lead to awesome adventures over seas. Keep your fingers crossed; we may… Read more Globe Trotter returned
After discussing my history of blogging, this site and its toddler years to a co-worker, I’ve come to realize that I miss writing here. It has always been the stress of work or school, wanting to be with my husband or the stress of having things to do at home that stop me. I suppose… Read more Renewed
