  Sk*rt is Now Kirtsy: Proof You Can Deal with Dicks & Come Out on Top Attention, Creative, Remarkable, Truth, Women, entrepreneurship |

  My obsession with domain names goes back about five years. I realize I'm late to get on the bandwagon, but now that I'm on it, I'm freakishly excited by purchasing them. 9.95 to "own" a piece of the web? Shit, I spend triple that on a pair of earrings. Last week I bought three new domain names, each one yet a tiny flame of an idea in my mind, but a flame, nonetheless. Owning the domain, to my mind, is the first step in mastering another corner of the web. Today sk*rt, one of my favorite ...

  Top 8 SxSW Creative, Design, Geek, Remarkable, SXSW, Tech, entrepreneurship |

  Back from Austin and South by Southwest. It's a challenge to say what I loved most about SXSWi 2008, but if I had to narrow it down to the best 8, for me, it would be these: 8) The People of SX The first morning I got to Austin, Laurie from sk*rt let me know I could come meet her and the rest of the girls at Halcyon, where Dooce's very own Heather Armstrong was holding court (alongside Jon, one of my design heroes). I got there to find a line from one end of the cafe to the ...

  2007: Out of the Ashes & Into the Fire Blog, Mobile Lifestyle, Projects, Remarkable, Tech, Truth, Yoga, Zen |

  I learned one major lesson in 2007. We can change our reaction to our circumstances, but we can't bend the world to our will. This simple lesson came home, literally, on May 30th when my house burned down this year. May 30th is the 150th day of the year. Another fire starter, Joan of Arc, was burned at the stake on May 30, 1431. Maybe it's a good day for fires. In February I wrote, One thing I've learned [from all this travel], (besides how to pack), is that it's a beautiful thing to be able to carry, ...

  Interview with Caroline Donahue - Get Inspired to Start! Creative, Gwen Talks, Projects, Remarkable, Startup, Truth, Women, conversations |

  Caroline Donahue and I met on a breezy (read: so sticky our clothes clung to us like peels to bananas) evening in Chicago. We were both attending BlogHer and clicked instantly. I knew I loved Caroline because she has the passion, the wisdom and the guts that I admire in people. She writes about becoming an entrepreneur, gives awesome advice/inspiration for budding creative careerists and owns Remabulous Creative Career Design. She lives in sunny LA. Lucky girl! Our conversations are always uplifting and educational as this one in which we discuss entrepreneurship, money and doing what ...

  Guts Daily, Projects, Remarkable, Truth |

  "Ok, you gotta take this equation, rip out its guts, string it in a line and then eat it!" Overheard a ten (+/-) year old say that to her friend last night as I ate dinner at my local co-op. She prefaced it by saying, "my math teacher has gotten really weird lately." Your personal brand has to be that remarkable. It should be a visceral experience even for those that have never met you. If you don't know how people describe you when you're not around, ask a few close friends to help you by typing out the first three ...

  Personal Branding Tutorial: Create the Stream of Your Dreams Attention, Blog, Geek, Projects, Remarkable, Tech, Truth, Women |

  Writing a tutorial on personal branding is weird because it's...personal. And "branding" has these odd connotations thanks to marketers. Putting all that aside for a moment, I don't think it's a stretch to say that most people in my inner circle see their brand online as a reflection of their personalities. I would also suggest that most of them strive to live up to the personality or "brand" they display online in their real lives. And that isn't always easy. Continue Reading...
