Preach, Sigourney

You go, Sigourney. I love this quote. So much, in fact, that I had to dress it up and put it on my blog. You can read the entire interview actress Sigourney Weaver gave NPR here. 

Time for a reboot

I’ve been neglecting this blog, and it’s not right.

I could list the multitude of reasons why. But there’s one reason that trumps all others: This blog doesn’t inspire me anymore.

I am publicly resolving to change that.

Originally, I created this blog for professional reasons. I wanted a place where I could house my resume, provide links to my writing, and then blog about my professional passions, such as social media, in order to contribute thoughts to an online community that has taught me so much. Not to mention, I wanted to show I could regularly string multiple sentences together in a cohesive, helpful and hopefully entertaining manner.

I was fortunate enough to be named the lead blogger for Digital Pivot back in October of 2011. It’s a gig I thoroughly enjoy and would like to continue with for the foreseeable future. I’ve been re-blogging those posts here for a while.

And I think that’s been my mistake.

I’ve been thinking for a very long time now that I need a creative outlet. It’s time to stop thinking and start doing.

So, I’ll be revamping this blog in the coming weeks. I’ll still find a way to provide links to the Digital Pivot work, but those posts will stay exclusively on that blog, where they belong.

I’m pretty excited for the reboot. The hope is to pull an “Amazing Spider-man” and be unexpectedly better than the previous versions!

Does the World Wide Web make you your own ‘media outlet?’

If you hop online, sign up for a blogging service, and start writing paragraphs grouped together and published on a regular basis, does that make you a journalist? According to U.S. District Court Judge Marco A. Hernandez — um, no. He slapped blogger Crystal Cox with a $2.5 million fine after he found one of […]

The amusing irony of ‘Profile Graveyard’

Maintaining social media profiles takes time. For many people, all that posting and sharing and commenting gets to be too much. It stops being fun, and accounts are abandoned. That’s where Profile Graveyard comes in. This site is pretty darn hilarious. It’s a tweak of the nose at social networking in general, complete with a […]
