Saddened by the Twitter demise, re-examining Pownce as a microblogging option. Thoughts? http://pownce.com/alizasherman/
UTTERZ QUESTION: I found it as a Stray Utter! So how can I claim it? Is that possible? http://tinyurl.com/2j6592
UTTERZ QUESTION: I just made an Utterz from my home phone, not cell phone. How do I find it? Is it lost in the ether? Where is it???
Something is Technically Wrong with Twitter. Again.
Had a strange dream last night that I was following Heath Ledger around an unfamiliar city. He was wearing a green/blue kilt & cleats. ???
Reviving my Scrabulous games after a long, inactive lull.
Just got a call on my home phone at 7:45am from someone in Arkansas who read my latest book and looked me up on Google. Nice guy but sheesh.
QUESTION: How do you get your home phone number off of Google’s phonebook results? Is the only way with an unlisted number? Damn directory.
Okay, I’m now wasting 9 minutes and 34 seconds… http://tinyurl.com/28a8ad
Moms: What is it about John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt? Baby totally goes gaga over that song! http://tinyurl.com/cwzwt
Ketchup is the best food in the world. It deserves its own food category. And has anyone noticed the catsup in Canada rocks? Better than US.
QUESTION: Where can I find a matrix showing how the presidential candidates are stacking up thus far? I’m not following closely enough.
Heading to East Coast next week. Will be speaking at a travel conference with the one and only @ cc_chapman. We’re totally winging it!

Sitting in Starbucks, just left the Second Life Writers Club meeting in SL to get back to the sunshine. Aloha everyone!
QUESTION: Is there an online service where you can store credit card info in case you are traveling & lose your wallet? Secure, of course.
Getting an emergency credit card on Tuesday. Mooching off my girlfriend until then. But the weather is lovely & pina coladas are awaiting…
Thought my wallet was stolen, cancelled ALL my cards, then found it as I recounted the nightmare to my hubby. Wallet found, cards useless.
Sitting in an internet cafe in Waikiki while my girlfriend does some work online & our babies are sleeping in their strollers. What a day!
@jueL - sorry to miss the show with you and Cyl. Not getting much SL time while in Hawaii. But…we’re in Hawaii & the weather is good! Mwah
shutting down computer to head to Honolulu with baby! Will be posting tweets but also photos at: http://2mommies2babies.blogspot.com
This was surreal. All these people are showing up on Athena but not talking to me, just standing around. They are here for Thinkerer event.
@meerkatje - Sangiro’s a sweetie! Our Ebb has a stuffed pup that he carries around delicately in his mouth. Baby likes the slobbery toy too!
@cherylcolan - I know and love several of the MOU-ites. This was an anomaly but also someone I hadn’t dealt with or met before.
@infinitypro - Thank you for your help & info. I’ll wave to you from one island to another!
New blog post: Business travel…with baby: http://tinyurl.com/239tnh
@meerkatje - we have a labrador, too! He’s black and his name is Ebb but the baby calls him Bubba.
Packing for my trip to Hawaii. Fitting my stuff and baby’s stuff into one small suitcase. Ah the challenges of traveling with toddler.
@akelatal - Do you not like them because they were snotty to me or was it some other incident(s)?
Someone from Millionsofus was just really snotty to me. Trying to figure out how to vote on Spenda & they didn’t like having to explain.
At Orange’s regular Show & Tell event. Hmmm, sounds a lot like my old Show & Tell event. http://tinyurl.com/yofagh
QUESTION: How do you clean your MacBook screen? Mine is all streaky and blurry but I’m afraid to clean it!
Just woke up from a nap. Took me 19 months to finally learn to “nap when the baby naps.”
