I wrote my last post with a sense of urgency. My parents went balls-to-the-wall forwarding my email to friends whose email addresses I didn’t have, and yet, after three extensions, I still didn’t meet my own deadline.
I wasn’t worried about not meeting my own deadline, because 1) I’ve been busy, and 2) I thought I had time to fundraise.
I was wrong. So very wrong.
I found out this week that I have JUST A FEW DAYS to...
[UPDATE (5/6/12) - Because I sent the corresponding email out late, and then my parents forwarded it to their friends a little later, I'm extendng the "help me hustle, watch me hustle" deadline from EOD Friday, May 4th, to EOD Tuesday May 8th. So if I hit at least $2085 by then, the hustle video idea is STILL ON. Thank you to all my recent donors, especially in the past week! You rock!]
OK, here’s the deal — I haven’t posted...
Well, apparently I’m shaping up, and that’s a good thing.
I don’t exactly feel it, but a few weeks ago, I could barely do the elliptical machine for 3k without feeling like I was going to die. Last Monday, I was able to do 10k and felt like I could’ve done more but I was on a time crunch. I made it to my first Wednesday spinning practice, and we were outside, which was nice. This past Saturday morning, I was a bit late,...
Let me just get this out of the way right now, because we’re not fooling anybody here — I’m afraid of commitment. There. I said it.
I have a hard time committing to anything. AN-EE-THING. I changed majors in college a dozen times (and still regret not sticking with my first choice — veterinary medicine). In relationships, it’s not the guy, I’m always the one afraid to commit (the term “settle” is...
Way back in July 2010 (which is light years in internet time), the “create-your-own-social-network” platform Ning decided to nix its freemium model in favor of a tiered pricing plan. Even though its lowest tier, for groups under 150 members, was only $2.95 a month, many small nonprofits, civil service organizations, and other groups already strapped for cash that were using the Ning platform as their main hub were up a creek with...
While everybody’s having their usual post-Facebook-changes anyeurism, where they kick and scream about a service they don’t pay for making changes as if there isn’t anything actually significant going on in the world, I’d like to take a moment and talk about the privacy issue.
No, not the usual “Facebook just changed/simplified/complicated/sold-your-shoe-size-to-the-government” privacy issue that occurs once...
I really thought I was done writing about “social media.” I’ve been bored with it for a long time, over saturated, jaded, stick-a-fork-in-me done. Yet recently I had a conversation with a new online friend of mine that reminded me of one big reason why. (And in my usual ironic fashion, I thought I’d write about why I’m done with writing about it. However, consider this the last post before a big shift.)
Anyway, back to my friend....
