It IS all about me

The case of the mis-sized sweater

19 April 2011 It IS all about me

I have a sweater. (Stunning lede, no? Wait, it can only get better.) I’ve had this sweater for ages, four or five years at least. (See, nail-biting drama here. I don’t know if I can contain myself.) I really like it. (Surely this is Pulitzer-quality material?) I’ve worn it at least a couple of times [...]

Suggestions for photo opportunities in Vancouver?

30 March 2011 Away we go

I‘m very excited! On Monday, I’ll be hopping on a plane and heading for the left coast to speak at this social media in government conference. What fun, eh? This is similar to the conferences I’ve spoken at here in Ottawa last June and September, and I got a really great reception (and reviews!) both [...]

More than you needed to know about me?

28 February 2011 It IS all about me

I spent a good chunk of time this weekend updating my résumé, and another little chunk of time writing up a little bio for a very! exciting! project! that I’ve got coming up this week (more soon!) These comprehensive analyses are always difficult for me — I’m naturally self-effacing, but also rather astonished at my [...]

Six years ago today: My first blog post

2 February 2011 It IS all about me

Six years ago today, on February 2, 2005, I wrote my very first-ever blog post: Okay, so I’ve been reading about blogs for quite some time now. At first, the idea was quaintly geeky, which of course immediately appealed to me. But aside from generally knowing what they were, and stumbling across a few here [...]

So far, 2011 is looking pretty damn good!

1 January 2011 How I love the Interwebs

It’s barely 10:00 on New Year’s Day, and (at the risk of jynxing myself) I’ve gotta say, it’s been a pretty damn good year so far. I woke up at a spectacular 6:20 am, almost a full hour later than I’ve woken or been woken up for most of the month of December. As the [...]

You think I’m funny? You think I’m FUNNY! *squeee*

1 December 2010 How I love the Interwebs

Beloved will tell you, there is no living with me right now. Not since I found out that Postcards from the Mothership was shortlisted as one of the five finalists in the Humour category of the 2010 Canadian Weblog Awards. Did you catch that? The HUMOUR category. *swoon* Humour! I mean, I was so honoured [...]

A love letter to Mark’s

16 September 2010 It IS all about me

Dear Mark’s (formerly known as Work Wearhouse), You couldn’t have known when you invited me and a handful of other bloggers and journalists for an amazing makeover day just how badly I needed the break. In fact, my schedule lately has been so insane that I first missed the deadline to reply to your offer, [...]

Five things I’ve learned while selling this house

11 September 2010 5 things

There’s barely been time to tweet lately, let alone blog. Although the craziness of back-to-school week has subsided, there is no end yet on the horizon for the craziness that is selling this house. It’s been two weeks since it was listed and we’ve had a dozen appointments so far to see it, but we’ve [...]

One hell of a weekend

15 August 2010 It IS all about me

Friday morning when I woke up, I was expecting an ordinary day leading into an ordinary weekend with absolutely nothing on the go — a nice break from looping around the country to just take it easy for a change. Despite the best laid (non) plans, after a short-notice appointment to see a house on [...]

Saving the best for last: Photography Q&A at Canadian Family

16 July 2010 My 15 minutes

I was a little stumped as to how to wrap up my week of guest posts over at the Family Jewels blog on Canadian Family’s site. I’d managed on each of the previous four posts to stay more or less on theme with a particular facet of photography, but had so much left to say [...]
