Devirginized by Python: A Young Girl’s Guide To The Best Monty Python Sketches

November 11, 2011

Last night a friend of mine, a one Samantha Leopoldi, confessed that she had never seen any Monty Python sketches.
Now, this would be a cause for concern amongst anyone, but Sam is a young lady of specific nerdish inclinations that made the revelation doubly shocking. She attends ComicCon, loves sci-fi and fantasy, and is a [...]

Friends, I am in love. Yes, yes, this happens to me on a regular basis, but sometimes cupid attacks from a strange place, and this time he got me via my spam folder.

Seven Deadly Sins – updated for online use

April 3, 2010

After having an hour of productive time disappear after getting sidetracked in some Wikipedia articles, I tweeted out “It’s official – in the Seven Deadly Sins they’re replacing “Sloth” with “Dicking Around On The Internet””.  It was retweeted enough I thought I’d try my hand at updating the rest of the Seven Deadly [...]

March 3, 2010

I’m a long time Improv fan, being a former member of the most excellent Oxymoron’Z Troupe, and a founding member of the Jester’Z Troupe here in the Valley. I haven’t performed in ages, but the topic still nibbles at me, which is what led to my interest in Improv + Social Media.  So I was [...]

Social Media Stupid Metaphor Exercise (bel Grande)

December 9, 2008

I’m prone to random ideas, and last week it struck me that just about any danged crazy thing could (or has) been used as metaphor for Social Media, Web 2.0, or whatever you want to call this stuff. I had some time waiting for a program to install, so I threw out onto Twitter for [...]

Halloween Post: Poe’s The Raven… twitter version

October 31, 2008

Once upon a Tweetdeck dreary, while I Twittered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious snurl of meme-passed lore,
While I groaned, nearly bailing, suddenly there came a failing,
As of something poorly scaling, scaling on some maxed out cores.

Do you have the skills for Social Media?

September 17, 2008

A long time back I set up some job alerts at different career sites like Dice and Monster.com for Social Media positions.¬† I hadn’t received an email alert from Monster.com in a while, and I’d almost entirely forgotten I had it still active.
Until this week.
Monster.com is either drunk out of their minds, or there is [...]

Goin’ Tom Cruise Crazy!

January 16, 2008

If I ever go so nuts I’m fully Tom Cruise Crazy, I hope someone puts me out of my misery and sends me back to Xenu.¬† Fortunately, Jonathan Coulton (of Portal theme fame) has boldly gone where I hope never to go… and wrote a song about being Tom Cruise Crazy.¬† It’s a year + [...]
