While I was on The OBX I received a very interesting e-mail from Tom at We Love DC: My condolences on the loss of Metblogs… Wait a minute. What happened to DC Metblogs? I was busy getting my tan on to notice that something was going on to the place where I write about DC-centric [...]

I’m really honored to have been asked to contribute to the NMS Blog last week. Today my first post is up- where I respond to a question I was asked at last week’s Clarendon Alliance mixer. NMS Blog: I Don’t Know Where Social Media Will Be In Ten Years (But It Doesn’t Matter)

One of the bright sides of last week’s busy week was that I met a lot of new people between my new co-workers and a new cast and crew. I spared no expense in quickly adding them on Facebook. A recent conversation with a friend of mine led me to wonder about how social media [...]

Even though I love to get snail mail, last week I received two “last issue” warnings for a couple of magazines I subscribe to. For both I ignored their request to re-up my subscription, even though one of them was a trade magazine that I got for free. I used to devour my magazines days [...]

I don’t know who Brandy is. She doesn’t know who I am. But that’s ok. She’s a blogger and a teacher up in Canada who recently received some bad news: her boyfriend was diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer. It is the kind of news that breaks your heart, I have had loved ones [...]
