Hello, dear friends, loyal readers, and random lurkers. I am notoriously indecisive (just ask Hubby), and I am having a hard time deciding on a final design for my new blog business card. Since you're all savvy bloggers and internet addicts, I need you to tell me what you think of this design, okay? Please share your honest first impressions in the comments. Thank you, thank you! EDIT (7/21/08): Thanks for all of the wonderful suggestions and comments! I have finally decided on a design, and my new cards are on their way! I'll post the winning design, which incorporates some of your excellent ideas, once they arrive. I can hardly wait to see them for real!

This post is all about self-promotion, in more ways than one. First, I'm promoting my post over at Posh Mama, where I do a weekly feature on something tech or geek related. And second, this week's post is about self-promotion! So how's that for a double-whammy of ME? If you're interested, go take a look. I think you'll be able to view the article while it's on the front page, without registering for PoshMama (a free online women-only community -- sorry, dudes). Oh, and the articles I write for PoshMama are "exclusive," so they don't get posted here. You have to go over there to read them. It's fun over there, though, and if you go visit, I think you'll like it!

And there's more!

Also, this is exciting news: My previous PoshMama feature (on the Asus eee PC) was picked up and published at ComputerShopper.com. And the one before that, on the WiiFit, was run by Reuters and the Southtown Star (part of the Sun-Times group). So if you happen to be visiting through one of those sites, I'm sending a big, geeky hug your way! Welcome, and thanks for stopping by!

Hello, friends. First, I must thank you for your patience and support while I dealt with my hosting problem this weekend. As you can see, the problem has been solved, at least for now. I strive to keep my site clean, safe, and fast-loading, and am continually making improvements toward those goals (like the new theme?). I won't bore you with additional details right now. :-) In other news, I've been tagged by Jolene, for the Seven Weird or Unique Things About Me meme. Here we go!

1. I love to put peanut butter, applesauce, and maple syrup, on my pancakes and waffles.
2. I'm terribly afraid of heights. I freeze up and can't move. For this reason, I don't like stairs with spaces between the steps. Yikes!
3. I used to be allergic to red food dye, which would cause me to break out in hives. No cherry Kool-Aid, popsicles, or Twizzlers for me.
4. I am a darn good pianist.
5. As long as I'm bragging, I was also valedictorian of my high school class.
6. I'm just 5 feet tall. I can only touch the ground with my toes when I sit in this chair.
7. I went to Space Camp in junior high, and loved every minute of it. But you already know I'm nerdy like that.

Now I'll pass this on to five lucky people, so we can learn how fascinating they are behind their blogs! techfun, mumsgotta, tipidmeals, fiveblondes, lisa365 Gotcha!
