July 2nd, 2009

Email ‘n Walk

June 7th, 2009

I spend about 2 hours a day walking my dog. In order to ensure that this time is used effectively, I usually listen to a podcast on my iPhone. If it’s not raining, I’ll also use the phone to check email, send texts, surf the web and Twitter.

Taking it for Granted

May 9th, 2009

I’m a Person Not a MacBook!

April 29th, 2009

If I was a company or a product I’d be rebranding myself. If I was a pop star or an actor, I’d be reinventing myself. I’m neither of these but today I decided to change my Twitter avatar.
