Last week I flew to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend the 2012 Altitude Design Summit. It’s a professional conference for those of us in social media focused on the design, style and creative space. At least that’s the official definition of it. What really defines this bootcamp for your creativity, design and writing passion [...]

I’ve not met Yuli Ziv personally, but I have followed her business adventures as head of Style Coalition for well over a year. When her book, Blogging Your Way to the Front Row, came out a few months ago, I had it down to grab it and highlight the ever-loving hell out of the pages, [...]

Yesterday, Cecily was alerted to a book that was being sold on Amazon that is a “How-to-Guide” for pedophilia. Specifically how a pedophile might be able to receive a lesser sentence by modifying his/her approaches – but that pedophilia is ultimate okay and should be celebrated.

The other night on Twitter I saw a comment that really kind of shocked me.  It had to do with someone making fun of all the discussions surrounding “What Should I Wear” or “What to Wear” to BlogHer ’10.  It would appear this person wanted to make a point about the “real” way to approach [...]

My old high school friend, Shannon, wrote a thoughtful post today and it has stuck with me. You should go read it. Also say hi to her – she’s awesome. And she’s right. For all the great things social media and this digital age brings there is a side that can feel defeating. Isn’t it [...]

You guys! Want to help me cross off a life list item? OF COURSE YOU DO. While at BlogHer ’10 in New York City, I want to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s not only a Life List item for me, but also right before I turn 40 and, really? I think celebrating in NYC [...]
