Most affairs don’t begin with a person saying “I’m going to have an affair” for the sake of having an affair. That’s just not how it works. Mine began a year and a half ago. The situation practically begged for it – it was that attractive and tempting. And yes it felt wrong. But it …

A Letter to My Mom
Dear Mom, I know time together is the best gift I can give you, right? But I thought this Mother’s Day I’d share with you some of the things you’ve given me… I know you’ve had to work hard and fight for the things in your life, in ways I will never know or experience. …
The Story of 1×57 & A Clean Life
On Monday, August 7, 2006, I started a new role as an instructor for a sabbatical program that is, what I consider, the gold standard for how enterprises should educate and teach its employees how and why to use social, web 2.0 software. I know the date, because 4 days prior, I called off my …

Why I Twitter…and why I am Twittering less…
Recently I’ve come to re-evaluate my love affair with the world’s most perfunctory channel of noise. Several weeks ago, after recovering from a violent case of the stomach flu, I realized that lately Twitter tends to stress me out in the same way diatribic diner menus and multi-level department stores do – too much going …

The Northeasterly
A subtle wind teased, northeast it came down behind around me, reticent and righteous, rife with egalitarian flair, withdrawing at its leisure as if playing with the air. My senses took a notice, of its continuous resurgence as northeasterlies often do, for the subtle winds that blow with ease repeat their acts elusively until you’re …
My SXSW All-Stars
South by Southwest…what can I say that hasn’t been said. I felt like the bumble bee girl in the Blind Melon video “No Rain.” For someone who is unable to sit through a meeting without thumping her leg/foot 98% of the time, who gets lambasted for not following “the rules” on a regular basis, who …
Spying 2.0: What I will & won’t be saying at SXSW
Tomorrow (Friday) I’ll be speaking at SXSW Interactive. I’ve never been to SXSW (yes, I’m a SWirgin) and I have no expectations. The truth is I’m not one of the people you see on the “panel circuit” – in general I prefer to listen and learn – and then assault panelists/speakers with my typical barrage …

The Currency of Integrity and Goodness
Lately I’ve become consumed with a topic I see as an inevitable trend in social software and digital identity on the Internet: the currency of integrity and goodness. First, I thank my colleague Fred for unknowingly interjecting goodness into my ponderance of the notion since my original focus was simply integrity. The fact is, a …
