Noise to Signal Cartoon Intrepid social media cartooniste extraordinaire Rob Cottingham (seriously, that toothpaste guy isn’t in it) attended the Courting Controversy: Dancing with the Devil panel at the Northern Voice blogging conference, and what you see above is the result. Pretty spiffy note-taking if you axe me. The panel was moderated by Rebecca Coleman […]
You know these people’s mothers are the ones still forwarding the gif-laden chain emails and tending the flame that burns with outrage at Bonsai Kittens.
Well, if my mother was alive, this would knock her on her butt, only my mother was too refined to ever admit she had a butt, so it would knock her on her posterior instead. After a dazzling and glamorous opening party in a romantic penthouse, I got a little carried away by the moment. […]
Image by Kjirstin via Flickr Yes, I’m teaching at WordCamp Victoria again, May 15th. I love Victoria, and it’s an easy day trip from Vancouver; moreso for us carless ones now that the Canada Line connects with the bus out to the ferry terminal. I’m really looking forward to this and to spending another day […]
Uh, Foursquare? I got on the bus once and as I was putting my fare in the box the driver looked me in the eye and asked, “What’s your next-door neighbor’s name?” Well, I didn’t know what that was about, but I’ve been raised properly and part of my training included answering the questions of […]
I’m cross-posting this from raincoaster, because who’s to stop me, eh? But DO note, because you are intelligent and perceptive, that the jokes you enter to win have to be put in the comments on the post at raincoaster.com, not here. Because you couldn’t if you tried, unless you were Matt or some other WordPress […]
The commenters in the thread on BritishExPats seem to think the problem is that this hapless whiner added her boss on Facebook before venting about him. They are wrong. The problem is: she vented in public, using her real name. If you do this, whether on a Facebook page or in a restaurant, assume that, […]
What not to do on Facebook. And don’t laugh too hard; if you haven’t done this yet, you will Grasshopper. You will. Update: the original posting was a Facebook hacker from 4chan, so my Facebook friends tell me. My Facebook friends would never let me make a mistake like this; they’d correct me immediately. Howcum […]
Of all the songs in all the world, I’d have to say that this song has the best odds of being posted to the most Facebook pages. Romance has truly entered a new era, one where pickups are done via text and dumpings by a change in one’s Facebook status (“what does he mean he’s […]
Oh, for god’s sake, Photobucket, that was a promotional image released by the studio and hosted in my Photobucket account for NINE YEARS. And you deleted it now? No wonder everyone uses Flickr now. I’m finding more and more requests for advice on dealing with internet drama, and who, I ask, is more qualified to […]
Here’s my little monologue from last week’s Blogger Meetup at the St Regis downtown. You can read my post on the announcement for background, and you can see videos of the whole presentation on AHAMedia’s page at YouTube. Thanks again to Raul Pacheco for putting the event together, Colleen Coplick for moderating, Shane Gibson for […]
