  Internet Famous? At What Price? Attention, Blog, Blogher08, Geek, Personal Branding, Remarkable, Tech, Truth, entrepreneurship |

  *** "What is fame except amplification?! It amplifies who and what you stand for now...the good and the bad. All your shadow parts are out there in the world for all to see. We want to be famous to show what's "good" about us...instead the "good" and the "bad" both are amplified. That's fame." -Mathew Gerson of Econscious Market fame *** This morning, reading the latest issue of Wired nearly put me into the fetal position. Julia Allison laced up in rhinestone-encrusted stilettos, legs crossed, hand on her face, voluptuous legs, breasts, the hair. The works. ...

  Questions You Asked During BlogHer 08. Answered. Blog, Blogher08, Creative, Geek, Personal Branding, Tech, Travel, Truth, Women |

  Q. What DON'T you do? This one was asked at the swap meet. I was lucky enough to share a table with Mary Margaret. She came home and wrote a post that made me cry...and think. Well, the short answer to this question is A LOT! One thing, I didn't make all those lovely charms. I was representing Aimee' Oelke...a multi-talented crafter who made them all by hand. Find more on her shop if you didn't have a chance to buy one at the BlogHer08 swap meet, which was so well done, I can't ...

  You are a Superwoman Attention, Blog, Blogher08, Geek, Personal Branding, Remarkable, Startup, Tech, Women, entrepreneurship |

  "It's not about the wine." Daring to be Remarkable It was late in the evening, well past midnight. We were standing in the back wine cellar at Corkscrew in Houston. The Caroline Collective had just wrapped up its opening night. Those of us that weren't majorly buzzing off the Green Drinks (provided, as I'm sure Monica Danna will remind us, courtesy of Beavers) that I thought, being organic, would also (wrong!) have a low alcohol content. Now, lest you think I'm just a drunk that just flies all over the country to party and that ...

  What We Do: DIY Content Syndication and Promotion There are now so many ways to get your word out, that every blogger has to make the decision: how far and wide do I want to distribute my content? Do I want it to be automated or selective? When do I start to feel like a spammer, not a sharer? Which tools are really effective, and which are just taking my content for free? How do I track my words, once I've set them free? How do I still protect my content? What about audio and video? We'll be talking tools like ...

  The Nintendo Party: Taking it to the Next Level* Creative, Geek, Nintendo, Personal Branding, Remarkable, Tech, Women |

  Nintendo + You Like many of you, I was in elementary school when I started playing video games. I remember that grey box, by today's standards an unwieldy hunk of retro plastic...the cartridges were more than double the size of my tiny hands. I'd slide Duck Hunt in with a click and shoot ducks with a plastic gun to my heart's content. Flash forward twenty years. Two years ago I stood in line at Yodobashi near Yokohama station with hundreds of beskirted Japanese schoolgirls...all of us awaiting the release of the highly anticipated Nintendo DS Lite. We were ...

  MicroBell 2: FAIL! Daily, Geek, Tech, Truth, entrepreneurship |

  A current meme in the tech world is as insidious as spam and twice as malicious. It can be summed up in a single word: fail. Last week Firefox released the latest version of its browser, Firefox 3.0. Their goal was to get the most software ever downloaded in a single 24-hour period. The servers crashed with all the folks downloading it. That's when the insults started flying. Suddenly Firefox, the browser many of us techies are using and enjoying for free became an object of scorn, a virtual whipping boy. Technology has long been ...
