On July 27, 2010 I addressed the Social Media Club of North Jersey on the Individual and Business user experience within Foursquare. There’s a recap of the event (along with a photo that has shamed me into rejoining Weight Watchers) available at the Axiom Media Service blog. Foursquare by M.

I don’t know why it seems to take so much energy to update this blog. Maybe it’s because I’m trying to run a community blog (http://www.postcardsfromnj.com) at the same time as I’m trying to start a photography business (Girl+Camera LLC) at the same time I’m trying to hold down a full-time desk job, all while

Just applied for a blogging position at Yoga Journal, doing a Sex Diaries type blog about returning to yoga after time away. I also applied last week for a Huffington Post editing position, though I feel a bit shaky on that application. Finally, because I can’t make it sound like I’m succeeding at all, my

The LJ 10 Year Anniversary book was announced today. I did not make the final manuscript. National Novel Writing Month was also a rather large failure for me. Out of 50,000 words to write to my goal, I wrote 3,200. It’s really not even worth mentioning, but there it is. I’m trying to re-focus. Tomorrow

1. The illness I live with is: Treatment-resistant Depression 2. I was diagnosed with it in the year: 2009 (officially, but I’ve known for years and was first treated in 2002 for what was thought to be anxiety disorder) 3. But I had symptoms since: I was 12 or 13 years old. 4. The biggest

Am only a finalist, not a winner, in the Culture Now essay contest. Supposedly, with things like this, it’s an honor just to be nominated. I don’t feel particularly honored. Second attempt at Tweet the Meat was also a failure. Supposedly, rejection gets easier the more often you experience it. Don’t believe the lie. Sent

First things first, I am a finalist in Culture Now’s Zeitgeist writing competition. That’s kind of nice, since I spent two hours on that essay about two hours and forty minute from the deadline. A bit like being back in high school, I suppose. Second, I’ve made another submission to Tweet the Meet. Hopefully, this

Rejected for Tweet the Meat — not sure why, as the one they chose that went up a few hours ago makes no fucking sense what so ever. Anyway, new submission to Culture Now went out a few hours ago, on the topic of singularity. It started out humorous, but I think I lost the

It’s unseasonably warm today, the sort of sick, sticky humidity that rots your lungs with every breath, weighing down your chest like lead. Nuala, our Birman cat, lays under a chair as the sun slowly moves across the floor; she scowls at the coming sun, then pulls herself from the floor and skulks to another,

I suppose, as is the nature of the internet, that I should make this first post some fumbling attempt to seem challenged by the entire idea of writing online, or about myself, or about myself via a public forum with such immediate feedback as this. Usually, the posts involve some sort of amazed acknowledgement about
