active rain: How Do You Spell Relief? - 04/15/08 08:23 AM
Try "N A R R O W" (the browser window, that is).
While I think all the creative efforts going into Active Rain blog customization are great, in my information-overloaded-world, filled with too-much-sound, too-much-stuff, too-much-to-do, and too-much-in-general, I was finding all the different brightly colored AR blog backgrounds were just simply … (12 comments)

active rain: Just Another Meme - 08/06/07 06:38 AM
Bob Carney tagged me for a meme. "Meme" rhymes with "dream" (sort of), or at least, that is what I think I remember reading in someone's blog somewhere.
Here goes:
My just completed book meme probably tells you almost everything you might ever want to know about me. <s>

Last week I joined Facebook, just like many other AR members. It wasn't long before my News Feed and Mini-Feed were filled with notices of stuff posted by my friends. And other than "My Wall" I couldn't see how the heck to post anything.
