My Short Love Affair with Seesmic

This is a story about my short love affair with seesmic. I had a seesmic invite/account two or three months before I actually used it because I didn’t have a webcam. Clarence of DYKC.com was kind enough to send me an extra iSight he had. When I received it in the mail, I logged on…

What Twitter Means to Me

I love Twitter, but sometimes; ok a lot of times, I forget that just because I know about Twitter and actively use it, doesn’t mean that everyone I know is doing the same thing. I forget that not all of my friends and family are total web geeks such as myself. So when people ask…

Events and Meetups I Attend

I’m thinking about adding a calendar or something to this blog so I can share various social media, podcasting, blogging, film and video meetups and events I attend. Someone in the DC/MD/Va area may have an interest in attending. Maybe I’ll add an upcoming or 30boxes widget to the blog, whichever one works and looks…

Criticat: I can see the value in this

How many times have you looked for jobs and wanted to have the ability to contact someone who works for or has worked for companies you are applying for jobs with? I know I have wished for this. You apply for jobs and you go on an interview and you then you get the job…

Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity (so funny)

1. At Lunch Time, Sit In Your Parked Car With Sunglasses on and point a Hair Dryer At Passing Cars. See If They Slow Down. 2. Page Yourself Over The Intercom. Don’t Disguise Your Voice. 3. Every Time Someone Asks You To Do Something, Ask If They Want Fries with that. 4. Put Your Garbage…

What to Do – What to Do

I want to change my Tales of a Single Parent blog. I am currently running it on Blogger, but quite frankly, I have grown very tired of Blogger which is why I moved this blog to WordPress (by the by, I absolutely love WordPress and am very happy I switched). I am not sure if…

I’m Ready for My Close-up

Some of you from twitter know that I want to start adding video to this blog and my Podcast; Tales of a Single Parent. I have a budget of $250 and am looking for a mini camcorder; one I can carry around in my bag. Some twitter friends recommended the FlipVideo, but after researching it…

Pizza Hut Makes it So Easy

I’ve been using the online ordering feature at pizzahut.com since they started and I love it. It’s so easy, so simple. When the kids and I want pizza, my first instinct is to always get online and put in my order, not to call in my order. So tonight, the kids and I agreed that…

DIRT on FX: I’m so addicted

DIRT is definitely one of my favorite shows and is on my Top 5 list of must see shows. I don’t have FX, so I had to rent Season 1 on DVD. Totally watched it in its entirety in one setting. Courtney Cox is so manipulative, cunning, vain and hardcore in this show. I LOVE…

Jill Scott on the BBC

Catch Jill Scott on BBC One in a new drama: The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, which premiers Sunday 23 March 2008, 9pm – 10.45pm. This drama is a story chronicling the adventures of Mma Ramotswe. Jill is certainly doing her thing. Doing more acting and of course laying down some of the smoothest grooves…

BBMNATION: I don’t get it

I got an invite for BBMNATION back in January I think. So I signed up to see what it was all about. Bbmnation is a social networking tool that allows you to connect with the people around you using BlackBerry Pins. So I signed up and completed my profile and started trying to figure out…
