Digital ADD. I don’t know if this term has been coined by others (I imagine it has) but that’s what I’m suffering from today. Actually I’ve been suffering more and more from it over the past year or two.
Right this moment, I have Firefox open with 18 tabs: Gmail, Google Reader, Meebo, Google Docs, Twitter [...]
The old cliche goes “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.”
I’m beginning to drown in the lemonade but I’m hoping for a lemon shortage in the next couple of weeks.
I’ve been on the internet little the last few weeks and have neglected not only the blog but twitter, facebook, friendfeed, seesmic, etc.
I’ve been told several [...]
Hugh MacLeod, better known to some as GapingVoid, has announced that he has deleted his Twitter account.
MacLeod - cartoonist, author, blogger, all around Renaissance man - will be sorely missed by his legions of followers. You can subscribe to his blog to keep up with him now.
It seems that the more popular Twitter becomes, the [...]
“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.”

While I understand the motivation, Drew Beatty had it right in his blog post yesterday when he suggested that the energy used for the big events was ridiculous [...]
While preparing to move for the first time in nearly 12 years I realized that there are many easy ways to cut down the mountain of possessions I own to a more manageable molehill. I figure the less I have to actually pack and move the less stress the process of moving will be.
The last [...]
I’ve mentioned in previous posts my plans to change my life in many ways. I’ve also mentioned my goal to move in about 10 years time to somewhere with a moderate climate, possibly the south of France although I’m considering several options.
Last night I got into a heated argument with a very dear friend about [...]
A couple of days ago I saw an absolutely incredible teapot on Etsy and shared the link with an online social group I’m involved in.
My friend Seana said, “Oh my god, Merlene likes teapots! Let’s all buy her teapots!”
She’d remembered a teapot story I’d told a couple of years ago.

A funny thing happens when you become involved in the social networks. After a while those strangers you’ve networked with start to feel like friends. A few even begin to feel like family.
I recently took a break from Twitter and Facebook for a week or so while some stresses in my real world were getting [...]
A few days ago inspired by Jeff Pulver’s Bucket List meme I wrote a “Bucket List” for 2008. A list of things I want to accomplish.
Today I give you my “Fukkit List”. All of the things that aren’t working that I’m working to remove from my life:
