BlogHer, First Impressions
Immediate Impressions (written Saturday night, posted Tuesday night):
On the train, heading North to Milwaukee, post-BlogHer. I missed my original train, and this one is late, so I’m a little tired and frustrated. I wish I would have zipped out of the conference faster, wish I’d dragged all my crap along, wish I’d realized it was […]

Hello from BlogHer07 - Day 1
The bad news: My phone appears to be dead dead dead. I’m going to do everything in my power to revive it Monday.
The good news:

There are 800 registered participants — it’s the largest conference on blogging in […]

DAMN. Double DAMN.
I’ve been having some trouble with my cell phone, a Treo 650.
Maybe I should get that taken care of today, before I leave town with it. Dumb idea. DUMB.

In the meantime, here’s […]

It currently lives, conveniently enough, in Milwaukee. Where we are going after BlogHer. Yes, it was purchased on eBay.
I haven’t blogged about Jill’s […]

Tiring, Fun Weekend (No Deathly Hollows Spoilers)
You probably already suspected that I was one of those people who went out and bought the new Harry Potter book at midnight Friday night/Saturday morning. Indeed I am.
My favorite local independent bookseller is a children’s bookstore with an ice cream parlor attached, and they had a big party. I stayed home and did as […]
