In the past few months, I’ve been blogging less. However, I’ve not been writing less. And I certainly haven’t been thinking less. I’ve been furiously scribbling at every opportunity I get, with ideas wrestling around my brain at three in the morning like they’re having a round of Rock’em Sock’em keeping me awake. (Or maybe [...]
Seven years of blogging
I was about to leave a comment on Robert Scoble’s blog when he posted that he was celebrating seven years of blogging, and looking back at what had happened in that time. Having blogged for about the same length of time, I’m also amazed at how much things have changed. Thought I’d write my own [...]
8 Random things about me
After a few quiet no-blogging days, I thought it was time for a light-hearted post, while I’m sitting in this hotel lobby in Helsinki. I’ve been tagged by Whatleydude, a fellow mobile industry colleague and iPhone addict. But first – here are the rules: We have to post these rules before we give you the [...]
I’ve been tagged: Five things
Only four sleeps left until Christmas. Motivation to do anything is rather low. Distractions are welcome. And then I get tagged by Matt! Well, how could I resist? Five things you (probably) didn’t know about me: I once went straight from an all-night rave to singing in an early Sunday morning classical concert at the [...]
A Meme – It’s been a long time
A blogger’s guilty pleasure, filling in a meme. I’ve got an immense backlog of things I want to post, as many personal ones as great marketing finds and business ideas. But it’s like having the choice between a double spiced rum and coke or a glass of water, I’ll choose the one that pickles my [...]
Do you del.icio.us?
If you don’t, I’m not in the mood to explain what it is, so visit the site and figure it out. But if you do…
I love and I loathe
This used to be on the About Me page, but I’ve decided to move it and make room for other stuff on there. Just like I can’t bring myself to throw out anything that could potentially be useful when doing a Spring cleaning, I can’t bring myself to delete posts altogether, so I’ve moved it [...]
Seven things
It was Lisa‘s idea… so I thought I’d improve on it and add another category to make it a 7×7. I could post something wittier tonight, but it’s simply not possible. The mental power gets used at work these days, which leaves me feeling like a braindead drooling idiot in the evening. Or maybe that’s [...]
Just go!
Something m-c said (in two different posts) has been making me think… Wanting to be perfect, people just end up doing nothing. There is a balance one must find. But whatever it is that i feel like doing, for sure there will always be someone else to do it better than i do. When I [...]
Meme quiz for a Tuesday morning afternoon
I sort-of borrowed-and-adapted this from Girl Afraid because I’m a bit too braindead and bored today to write a proper entry, even though I’ve got tons of things I *want* to write about later. THREE THINGS I AM WEARING RIGHT NOW: 1. Black and grey striped boatneck top that I luuurve 2. Black jeans 3. [...]
