8 July 2010 How I love the Interwebs

Last night was the second annual edition of Ottawa’s premiere (and only!) showcase for local blogger talent, Blog Out Loud Ottawa. This year’s BOLO was a smash hit — you only need to skim the twitter feed to see how energized and excited and plain old happy everybody seems to be after last night’s event. [...]

Ottawa Rocks!

24 June 2010 How I love the Interwebs

Did the earth move for you, too, baby? That was pretty cool, eh? I’ve been through one other minor earthquake that I remember, when I was a kid, but the one yesterday centred just north of Ottawa was much stronger. It was the first quake during which I was aware at the time what was [...]

My blog and pony show

22 June 2010 How I love the Interwebs

Back in late 2005 or so, I went to a Communications Community Office presentation on blogging. The CCO is a government communicators network, and the speaker was one of the leading experts on blogs as an emerging communication medium. I remember watching the presentation and thinking, man I’d love to have that gig some day. [...]

Blog Out Loud Ottawa – the 2010 edition!

15 June 2010 How I love the Interwebs

It’s coming! Just three weeks remain until BOLO 2010, Ottawa’s most fun bloggy meet-up. What is BOLO? In the words of BOLO’s irrepressible and endlessly creative founder, Lynn of Turtlehead, “Blog Out Loud is an Ottawa-based get-together for bloggers, lurkers, and anyone who likes to hear good writing.” And starting today, Lynn is teasing us [...]

An unexpectedly delightful guest post: 32 things about Latinos in Canada

3 June 2010 How I love the Interwebs

I was procrastinating on Twitter instead of writing the blog post I’d been hoping to write, and sweet Guillermo took my pathetic whimper about writer’s block to heart. To my absolute delight, the following appeared in my in-box just a little while later. You really didn’t think I’d post it, did you Guillermo? But really, [...]

A new Flickr group for Ottawa photographers and dilettantes like me!

7 May 2010 How I love the Interwebs

While I’ve been on Flickr for more than five years, it was only in the last year or two that I really started participating in the social side of the medium, posting my photos to groups and participating in group discussions. I’ve learned so much about photography, but I like to think I’ve also learned [...]

In which she shakes it off and sucks it up

11 March 2010 Meta-blogging

Okay, bear with me for one saccharine minute. Please? I promise, it’s no worse than yesterday’s introspective moaning. (I swear, I blame it on Douglas Coupland. I still credit Generation X with getting me motivated out of a bad marriage, and I’ve spend the last three weeks reading The Gum Thief. He gets into my [...]

The post I wasn’t going to write

10 March 2010 Meta-blogging

Last week when I put up the quick post with the TtV tulip shot, I mentioned that I felt I’d been neglecting the blog lately because I’ve been so crazy busy and “feeling a little unsettled.” Bless her observant little heart, Angela picked up on it and asked me “Why unsettled?” Sigh. It’s been about [...]
