Collapse and think and remember and thank.

October 14, 2016 by robin2go Leave a Comment

This has been one hell of a two month sprint. My timecards show me out more than I’ve been in. My Asana dashboard consistently, insistently shows me multiple tasks overdue. I’m hit and miss on email because Slack keeps me hopping on the critical tasks that need to be addressed. I’ve even taken to saving my […]

It’s a wonderful life.

December 31, 2015 by robin2go 1 Comment

It’s the last day of the old year, a time that generally encourages introspection and thought. In the middle of Pennsylvania, nature has no idea which end is up. My forsythia has begun to bloom, the spring bulbs are starting to push through the ground, and chickadees are out happily picking through my despondent planter […]

Overheard.

September 4, 2014 by robin2go 1 Comment

I’ve been on Twitter a long time — almost eight years now. (Wowza!)  We were perfect for each other from the beginning, and it’s been my go to social network ever since. But even in the most solid relationships things can start to feel a bit stale, and you start looking for ways to spice […]

The only way out is through.

Today is is the last day of February, and it has been bitter cold. So cold you feel it deep in your bones. So cold you think you’ll never get warm. To be honest, it has suited my mood. I have struggled this week to maintain my game face, but inside I am a bitter […]

Painfully transparent.

January 27, 2014 by robin2go 1 Comment

I am painfully transparent. If you’ve met me, you know this immediately. Talk about a great idea and I get enthusiastic. Describe the minutiae of your life and I am bored. Tell me it’s my turn to clean out the refrigerator and you can practically hear my eyes rolling back into their sockets. At least […]

Eye of the storm.

July 30, 2013 by robin2go Leave a Comment

Yesterday, the deluge hit Happy Valley yet again. This time it isn’t actual rain that buffets our waterlogged town — which, given the last few weeks, is a welcome respite — but instead the Sandusky scandal, which once more reigns the airwaves and news channels. The current storm stems from preliminary hearings for three former […]

Guilty social conscience.

April 11, 2013 by robin2go Leave a Comment

Today’s Growl message reminded me about a friend’s birthday tomorrow. I haven’t seen her in ages since she moved away to teach in another state, so I thought I’d tweet out to her just because she was on my  mind. Then I realized, in a moment of panic, that I didn’t remember her Twitter handle. […]

Lighten up, Francis.

October 3, 2012 by robin2go Leave a Comment

The weather is crisp, the leaves are turning colors, and there’s mud and opinions being flung everywhere — the telltale signs of fall in an election year. I must be getting older and more jaded, because I hate election season with a passion. Ironically, I worked in the political arena for three years while I lived […]

The good, the bad, and the really ugly.

July 11, 2012 by robin2go 3 Comments

I’m a huge fan of the internets. I’m also a huge fan of community and the awesome power and influence they can wield when they are inspired by a cause. I can personally testify to witnessing firsthand the power of these communities when they rise to the cause to do good on the internets. I’ve donated money to […]

Plus one.

June 30, 2011 by renegade element

After months of rumors, yesterday Google launched their Google+ project. Project, mind you. Not product. We’ll talk about that later. But for most of the day my Twitter feed was on fire with complaints of not having access to Google+ (we geeks are a wh…

Buffalo winging it.

May 18, 2011 by renegade element

I’m sitting in a pub house in Buffalo, New York, drinking a beer and waiting. Waiting for my food, because I’m suddenly ravenously hungry after not eating since breakfast this morning in State College, Pennsylvania. Waiting because I’m en route to PSE…

One of my favorite pastimes: text trolling @shelleyKeith.

It’s Election Day. If you haven’t done so yet, get out and VOTE. It’s your planet, your country, your right, and your voice.
