  • Social Networking Tools = Employment?

    At the recent Co-Working event held at Firecat Studios the discussion came around to what employers are looking for now in new hires. As a self-employed gal who gladly left Corporate America years ago, normally this type of talk has me going through my grocery list while tuning out. However this time was different. What…

  • Microblogging

    With all the cool ways we have to stay connected to one another it’s no wonder that the simple things seem to win out in the end. Blogging in and of itself requires a bit more thought and planning. Whereas microblogging is done quickly and on-the-fly. It suites my fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants style. I’m able to express…

  • Disagreements

    We all have them. From as early as a toddler there were disagreements. It could have been when another toddler took a favorite toy away. You most certainly disagreed. Each of you felt differently about just whose toy that was and so an exchange of words happened. Granted it may not have been very articulate,…

  • Training for the San Antonio Rock-n-Roll Marathon: Nike+ Style

    As of yesterday a group of us have kicked off the start to our training for the San Antonio Rock-n-Roll Marathon. With November 2008 just a mere 10 months away, I for one am going to need every moment to train. Especially considering the fact that I haven not spent any serious time running since…

  • The Theme for 2008

    Every year we create New Years Resolutions “do better”. Eat less, exercise more, save money, do charitable works, give up smoking/drinking etc… It seems there is a common theme to all of these. They’re usually things we didn’t do well at the year before. And just as there are many resolutions for the New Year…

  • The Blog365 Challenge

    With NaPodPoMo & NaBloPoMo under my belt, I felt I was up to the challenge of Blog365. Yep, you read right. By December 31, 2008 there should be 365 posts between here and some of the other blogs I contribute to (Morning BrewCast & San Antonio Podcasters ). You might be asking yourself, “Wait a…

  • Preliminary Sound Booth Test

    I spent some time today looking at DIY Sound Booth sites. I also spent time checking out some of the pro sound proof material. The things folks use to create a sound booth ran the gamut from carpet to duvets to specialty foam/mat boards. It could be free, using items from around the house or…

  • Clutter Cleared!

    I said I would clear out my closet to make room for a sound booth by today. The closet was cleared by 7pm. I also said I would clear off my desk by today. The desk was cleared about 15 minutes ago. It has been a tough 3 days. It was in fact more difficult…

  • Clearing out the clutter

    With 2007 winding down it’s time to reflect about the years events and consider upcoming 2008. Once of the things that will help bring 2007 to a close and prepare me to dive into 2008 will be to clear out the clutter. By nature I’m a stacker. I have stacks and piles of things in…

  • Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed

    Amazing what an early morning can feel like after a couple of days of sickness. I’m walking around the house with a silly grin on my face. I feel great! No really, really great! Let me see if I can paint a picture of just how I feel this morning. You know when your kids…
