Here’s a quick list of some blogs that are on my radar as new must reads. This should tide you over while I get to thinking about my next post…

Isabelle Lopez gave a phenomenal talk at the most recent PodCamp Montreal event on “The Self, The Identity and the Internet” which evolved into a group discussion on how comfortable (or uncomfortable) we are with our identity and existence on the internet. Her blog is certainly worth following for her take on social media and society.

Zen Habits keeps me grounded. (that could have developed into a haiku but I stopped it early).

Josyan MacGregor is my new partner in crime in presenting the Montreal Girl Geek Dinners and has a blog focused around marketing and new media written by a girl with a heart of gold. Check her out.

BoingBoing... Sigh. I love this site so much that I gave my fiance a BoingBoing hoodie from GamaGo as his engagement present.

Gwen Bell is my homegirl. I found out about her through the Buddhist Geek circles and she’s since inspired me through her awesome posts and her energy which seems to just project right thorough the computer!

Tara Hunt is just one of the most insightful gals out there and a true hero. It is also awesome that she is a recent pugowner (I’ve been with my little feller for 7 years and he rocks)

I’ll continue to post about blogs that I find special, endearing or otherwise remarkable.

I’m a serial blog-starter.

There I said it.

I’ve been writing on my personal/spiritual blog since 2006 and have found it very helpful in connecting with community and sharing with folks. For some reason, when it comes to social media, tech blogging and blogging about women and tech, these blogs sputtered and failed. The tried and true ‘fridge box is more exciting than the shiny birthday toys’ syndrome perhaps? It’s not that I’m not as passionate about these subjects, I immerse myself fully every time my fingers hit the typepad.

It’s easy to get flummoxed by all of the emerging tools and technologies. Add to that the fact that I’m one complex gal with many interests and you get the picture. A serial blog-starter who could have individual blogs dedicated to music, video games, pug dogs, Montreal, social media, girl geeks, allergies and so on and so on.

Why complicate things?

This site will now be the place where I’ll look to corral my digital fragments.
