BlogHer Conference Calling

I'm on the phone with two of my three BlogHer co-panelists, discussing our session on 'Professional Blogging: Business Considerations Art and Commerce.' (Yawn...also discussing renaming it!) We'll be on July 27 at 2:45 p.m. It's fun listening to these folks (none of whom I've met before), I'm looking forward to the event. On the panel with me are:

• Moderator Nina Smith ("We're here, we're queer, and we're not going shopping without coupons")


• Liz Gumbinner ("We're just a few moms that track down cool stuff so you can stay busy being fabulous"), and


• Kelly Erb, a.k.a. TaxGirl (" Yeah, I’m one of those annoying people that you don’t want to see a movie with… I constantly question the tax consequences of plot lines. It’s a sickness.")

All smart and interesting; this should be fun!

The Big 'P'

7 hours have magically dropped into my week: Tyler's going to preschool. It's a rough transition all around. He associates "the drop-off" with the one in the Finding Nemo story that precipitates all the ensuing drama. On my end, I'm at a loss as to what to do with these new, strange, solo hours: exercise, shower, work, blog? Maybe all of them! In daylight!! It's unfathomable.

You're Absurd, What's A Zune??

I did not know current.tv had an embeddable video feature — smart! Thanks to Amber MacArthur for clueing me in. And for featuring this hilarious little Mac or PC vid:

How bad do I want an iPhone? Bad. Very very bad. For all the latest, follow the iPhone topic at ZDNet, where you'll be able to stay on top of things like the just announced rate plans.

Supernova, Supercool

Brian Solis: "Overall, Challenge Day was a tremendous success on all fronts." (Link added.)

I couldn't agree more. Kudos to Kevin Werbach for putting together such a wonderful event. My only gripes with the whole experience are just a testament to how good it was — namely:

• I wanted all the sessions to last longer,


• I wanted to attend all the sessions in all the tracks, and


• I wanted to stick around for the next two days, which I couldn't unfortunately.

Supernova seems to really be coming into its own, and I'm looking forward to next year.

'No Hands On The Track!'

Tyler and his great-grandma Mary engaged in a bit of table-top racing yesterday:
