Can you believe 2011 is almost over? I hope you have enjoyed this year as much as I have. My last Friday Favorite is oh-so-appropriate: a very cute YouTube video by two of my favorite people (at least, whom I’ve never met) – Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt: So…What Are You Doing New Years Eve?
There is been some debate about whether the era of tech blogs is dead. Of course, there is always some debate about whether things are dead or dying, such as the mouse, the keyboard, Starbucks, photography, even Justin Bieber. (This happens on Twitter at least twice per day.) I won’t re-hash what the original blog [...]
I’ve been working from home for a year now. I’m planning on doing a much more elaborate recap of this past year later this week, but I was reminded of what working “from home” is like upon seeing a retweet of Oatmeal’s classic post, “Why working from home is both awesome and horrible.” Here’s a [...]
I’m a natural brunette. I have some serious red undertones, but there is nothing “blonde” about this girl. That said, I have envy of girls like my little sister and a few of my friends who can pull off platinum like they were born that way. Recently, I decided to undertake a mission to gradually [...]
Flashmobs are quickly becoming the key indication that your brand is big – everyone from Michael Jackson to Lady Gaga has been immortalized by flashmobs directed and executed by their fans. Even a volunteer chorus directed by the Seattle Symphony burst into Seattle’s Nordstrom last year. Last week, T-Mobile surprised their own customers, and other [...]
I’ve got 99 problems, and they’re all because of Pinterest. Is it the next big thing since Facebook? Is it the solution to all of your “delicious” problems? Should Twitter be shaking in their venture-funded pants? YES. Pinterest is essentially a way to share interesting anything with other Pinterest users. You can categorize the things [...]
Still shopping for that perfect gift for that special someone? What if you could give a gift that also gave back to one of your favorite causes? Gifts That Give is a new shopping site that allows you to purchase that oh-so-perfect gift while also directing 20% of your purchase to a charity of your [...]
This week has been really busy – not only for me, but in the social media space and blogsophere. Facebook officially rolled out Timeline for everyone and Twitter updated their entire UI, including a brand-spanking new version of Tweetdeck (finally, version 1.0!). Unfortunately, it kind of…well…sucks. (More on that next week on LockerGnome.) There were [...]
For most I’ve my life I’ve battled some form of anxiety or depression – or something like it. I’ve actually been “diagnosed” a wide range of “things” but in the end, sometimes I just feel like the blob in the Zoloft commercials. As a result, I’ve sampled several types of prescription medications, which have led [...]
I find so much cool stuff throughout the week, so I thought I would start devoting Fridays to sharing the cool blogs, videos, pictures, and other interesting things I find throughout the week. In no special order (except in perhaps what I remember them,) here are my favorite things from this week: Texts From Bennett [...]
Kelly is a 20something blogger and social media and marketing type based in Seattle. She loves good products that solve real problems, good design...and a good cup of coffee, too.
