Look Ma, I’m Yelp famous!

By | January 4, 2012

Imagine my surprise this morning when I checked my email and saw my review of The Cove featured in Memphis’ first Weekly Yelp. ”Yelping you so hard” paid off! Now, of course, I’m inspired to step up my game and write a slew of reviews. I see what you did there, Yelp…

People (including me) reading Tony Allen’s tweets

By | November 30, 2011

So yesterday Kerry asked if she could swing by my office for a project she was working on. “It involves Tony Allen’s Twitter account,” she said. How could I say no? TA’s tweets are my religion. I’m at about the 1:06 mark. Man, reading aloud is tough.

Not yelpful at all.

By | July 17, 2011

My new favorite thing to read on the Internet, besides freaky Craigslist missed connections, is bad Yelp reviews. I’ve always sort of halfheartedly used Yelp — sometimes I’ll get bored and write a flurry of reviews, and I often consult it when looking for places to eat out of town. Most people on Yelp take [...]

Comments from a New York Times debate…

By | July 1, 2011

… about non-traditional nail polish colors going mainstream, which I thought happened in the mid-90s with the Hard Candy line and its jelly rings — but apparently some people haven’t gotten over it. Keep in mind first of all, that this is 2011. Second of all, that this is the New York Times which just goes to [...]

Less than 140-character attention spans?

By | March 14, 2011

A few times a month I get to administer giveaways at work, which is actually kinda challenging, because I don’t want to do it the same way every time, but there are some methods that just plain work better. One of these is a “retweet contest” on Twitter which requires practically zero effort, so it’s [...]

Tweetworks!

By | January 6, 2011

I’ve been listening to J Dilla’s brilliant “Donuts” at my desk this week. It’s the perfect working soundtrack, plus I’ve already wiped out my iTunes library since tomorrow’s my last day here. Anyway, my favorite track is “Lightworks,” and I tend to listen to it several times before letting the rest of the album play [...]

Quick thoughts on ESPN’s blog for the ladies.

By | December 6, 2010

espnW has been live for a few hours now. When it was first announced I was cynical (me, cynical? I know) because the sports world is usually pretty condescending to female fans. I honestly expected a lot of pink and excessive reference to athletes’ appearances: “Isn’t David Beckham dreamy?” Etc. Of course, there is a [...]

NFL Shop FAIL

By | November 30, 2010

Am I more preoccupied with Christmas greed than Christmas giving? Maybe. Sue me. Really, I just didn’t get a chance to visit the ole Black and Gold Sports Shop (or as I call it, the who dat store) last time I was in NOLA and still have yet to purchase any SUPA BEAUXL CHAMPS gear. [...]
