Obviously you will only be reading this if you share my joy of reading about America’s Pasttime. Apologies otherwise, and please skip to another post.
This is great. I just about passed out when I discovered this site: The Baseball Bookshelf, the creation of Hank Brockett.
I offered up my own list of favorite baseball reads awhile [...]

Huge WOW props to Karen Reddick, owner of V-&-E Services and a long time member of IVAA. Karen was recently interviewed about the Virtual Assistance profession by NBC Today Show. Her interview is scheduled to air later this month!
This is a major accomplishment for a respected colleague. Keep an eye out here for that [...]

Many International Virtual Assistant Association members will be off to the annual VA Summit in San Francisco in a couple of days and will find renewed vigor for their work in the stimulating company of colleagues. Unfortunately, not all of us VA’s can attend the Summit this year.
Meanwhile, there’s a great discussion unfolding over at [...]

February, March and April are prime knitting months here. When the pollen count is high, I stay inside and knit whenever I’m not working. Recently OFF the needles is this little baby sweater, made from Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande (color=1310), my favorite yarn of late. Thick, soft, cozy, perfect.

In lieu of an interview today, I direct you to a [...]

Wendy Piersall at eMoms At Home gives us a Moday Motivation blast every week.
For general sanity and calmness, I always look at Beth Dargis’ Weekly Simplicity Tips
. I actually take her list everyweek and place it on a stickynote on my monitor and pat myself of the back when I remember to use her [...]

This is what I did to my nice rankings… it seemed time to find a new theme that I could experiment with, but FIRST, I needed to upgrade to Ella (I was running v. 1.5).
The upgrade went just fine, as I followed the very explicit instructions found at WP. After that, I went a [...]

I wrote a few months ago about the great wealth of “Digital Asset Management” to be found in Peter Krogh’s excellent book, The Dam Book.
Now that I have spent a few months using his process of preparing images for storage and retrieval, I was ready to take a second look at what cataloging software is [...]

I’m still on my first. I treat it like a cherished heirloom. It gets most of its workout in the car, when hooked up to iTrip. As a recording device with iTrip clipped in place, it’s proven its worth over and over as I conduct onsite interviews for clients’ press releases. A real trooper, my [...]
