  • Comments About Sarah Lacy, SXSW and the "Apology of the Century"

    Last night at the Twin Tech Party in DC, Sarah Lacy of Business Week and I had a chance to meet for the first time. What transpired has been spun unbelievably out of control by attendees of the party. Phrases like “Battle of the Titans”, the “Apology of the Century” and labels of me being…

  • Michelle Obama Writing For BlogHer

    Seems appropriate that this week is taking the shape of BlogHer week, since the gathering of women bloggers descends on San Francisco in 3… 2… 1…. NOW.

  • Perceptions

    A friend of mine (in real life!) recently made a late night trip to a local diner to grab a bite to eat. He felt like ordering an omelette, but wasn’t sure which kind of omelette. As he looked at the menu, he noticed a Spanish Omelette and a Spinach Omelette. Unsure what was in…
