On a recent road trip we stopped in Memphis. I’ve never been there and I really wanted to see the Lorraine Motel where MLK, Jr. was killed. It would have been fun to go to Graceland and see where Elvis lived, but it was a tad cost prohibitive for the whole family, so we settled…

Years ago I visited the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. with my parents. You know how sometimes when you know something about a place and look forward to seeing it and then when you see it in real life it looks smaller or less amazing than it did in your imagination? That’s how I…

First of all, I couldn’t possibly write a recap post without mentioning the fantastic volunteers and organizers that made WordCamp possible. The planning team worked their tails off: Ray Gulick, Maralyn…

WordCamp ABQ has been over for weeks now and it is high time I blog about it. Right? Right. We kicked the WCABQ2013 off with a rockin’ hackathon organized by a fantastic local volunteer, Brooks Walsh. Wait, what’s a hackathon? Well, hackathons can take several different shapes, ours is essentially an effort to create a…

A friend of mine at work makes some super cute WordPress swag. This minifig takes the cake though, it’s the best swag so far. Now I want a WP Lego set. I can just picture it: the minifig pictured here, a standing desk, a cute computer with stickers on it. There’d have to be a…

A friend recommended this book to me and I just got it from the library. I’ll be reading it today and very likely my blog will be hearing about it.

This bug was in our driveway the other day. It was an inch and a half long, give or take. Anyone know what it is? My kids would love to know 🙂

Once upon a time, when I was a teenager, I went to the Institute of Art in Chicago. You know how you sometimes have little experiences that you just never forget? I had one of those at the Institute. There’s no other way to describe it. I walked through a gallery full of amazing Hindu…
