While in the middle of my weekly segment on Talk1410am my computer screen flickered and my Gmail turned blue. Thinking something was amiss, I immediately signed out of my account. Once I logged in again I took notice of a little message at the top of the Gmail window - hello themes!.

Parsing through my Delicious links this morning I came across two articles that John sent me (yes, I become giddy when I notice my husband tagged something for me in Delicious).

The Five Things Meme

Taking a break from the municipal and provincial election coverage to engage in some silly entertainment (see last night’s post about sweet, sweet 80s tunes) I’m going to complete my mission after being “tagged” by Tyler Ingram yesterday.

Last night I probably did the most Twittering I’ve done in a few months while watching and tracking election coverage.

Over the last four years I have profiled almost 30 local bloggers and posted 74 link fests to other sites. It’s taken me far to long to share another great part of the digital media realm, to which many of my good friends belong.
Digital photography is a big part of any social media event, stroll [...]

When I was interviewing local filmmakers Colin Cunningham and Madison Graie earlier this month I used Matthew Good as an example of an artist that has had great success with iTunes since they were excited about their short film’s premiere later this month.
