Ebbs and Blogs

One of the inter­est­ing ses­sions I went to at North­ern­Voice was the Blogs are Dead; Long Live the Blog­ger ses­sion facil­it­ated ably by Chris Lott. There’s a write-up on this wiki; as usual a lot of thought-provoking stuff was said, only some of which I’ve found recor­ded. I’ve noticed changes myself over the last few […]

Bravery

You can see bravery in places you don’t expect it to be needed. In the safe con­fines of a blog­ging con­fer­ence, for example. Read Meg’s post­ing, and Nancy’s response. I was in that ses­sion, and where Meg was brave enough to tape her pic­ture on the wall, I was not. I threw it in the […]

Twitters

I’ve been try­ing to post a little more to Twit­ter, not that I’m brave enough to have a pub­lic feed des­pite the non-interesting tone of my twit­ters (yes, I know they’re meant to be called tweets, but twit­ters sounds more appro­pri­ate to me some­how). And then I noticed some­thing trundling by on the pub­lic feed […]

Energy Deprivation and NorthernVoice

There’s some­thing about these grey gloomy days that saps my energy. I’m still here, just not blog­ging much. I do post occa­sion­ally to my craft­ing blog, that seems easier some­how than this “main” blog. I’ll have to think about what that says about my blog­ging right now. I’m hop­ing that going to the North­ern Voice […]
