  • Wash the Walls, Environmental Graffiti

    An environmental graffiti artist in Brazil went into a tunnel and began washing the walls of the grit and grime created by millions of tons of pollution created by automobiles passing through the tunnel. But instead of simply washing the walls, he “etched” skulls with his washing. That is, he drew skulls on the wall…

  • Apples and Oranges, the Rise and Fall of Women Bloggers

    I have sat on this post for the past few days because the last thing I want is this post to offend. I’ve tossed around the best way to approach it constructively and in an encouraging way. I’d like to consider myself a “friendly” for women bloggers, so with that context, I hope it is…

  • Search and Findability

    I’m at WordCamp San Francisco 2008 today and had the distinct pleasure of giving a talk on Search and Findability. Distinct pleasure because it was the first session of the day at 9am. And if any of you know me, then you know that I don’t do mornings well. :-) My session was about Search…

  • Will I See you in Boston? Or in San Francisco? Or in Boulder? Or in Vegas?

    Just a quick note as I’m getting ready for a meetup in my honor tonight in Boston. If you’re in the Boston area and don’t have any plans for tonight, would love to see you at Boston Beer Works across from Fenway Park. Michelle Wolverton gets all the credit for organizing and pulling the event…
