Some guy named Tim Gunn at BlogHer 09?
I had to reboot my computer so I checked my Twitter stream on my phone and what did I find, sensible, smart, beautiful women squeeing over the fact that Tim Gunn is coming to BlogHer 09. Errr, not really sure why that causes squeeing but I do remember some enthusiasm about him during Fashion Week.
Whatever. I’m sure he’s a nice guy.
I do hope these sensible, smart, beautiful women will keep a level head and not get caught up in the body image and diet battle.

If you are a blogger, BlogHer is the conference to attend each year. While there will be tons o’ learnin’ going on that weekend, there will also be plenty of opportunities for networking, mingling and cocktailing with fellow bloggers. Because it can be hard to keep track of all the festivities, I thought I’d put together a quick list of some of the hotest parties taking place that weekend. If I’ve missed one, shoot me an email (shannanb(@)Gmail.com) and I’ll add it.

I went to California and forgot to Loopt…
Not really. I Loopt quite a bit of my trip, you just didn’t see my Loopt updates because I’m nuts. During a conversation about online security in the Digital Reality Check group, I decided I should change a bunch of my passwords. So I did. Unfortunately, two of the passwords I changed were my Twitter and Facebook passwords… and then I forgot to tell Loopt that I changed them.
So I was Loopting away and the only people who were seeing those were … TW. And maybe Michelle, but probably not since she got a new phone and I somehow doubt she reinstalled Loopt.
I’ve got good stuff in Loopt so I thought I’d do a mini blog update, showing you the photos from the trip.
This was my first trip to the new and improved (they have a kitchen!) BlogHer offices and besides the kitchen, I was loving Liz Henry’s office decor.
The Holiday Inn Express, on El Camino Real, is the hotel I always stay in when I go to RW City. I was a wee bit disappointed that I did not get a free bottle of wine on check in (no I don’t drink) but all was forgiven when my morning newspaper was delivered in a cute little reusable smiely bag.
Good to know that Kinkos in Palo Alto are the same as they are in Gainesville and in Glenview… pretty run-down and dirty.
Fascinated to learn about Lisa Stone’s obsession with the power stapler. Who knew?
I spent the day in a cool office with a cool video conferencing hookup. Unfortunately, we didn’t have the view that our NYC staff had. Here’s ours:
I enjoyed sodas with Jenny and Jenifer and Lisa but as great as that was, it wasn’t nearly as fabulous as having breakfast with Liz at the spot the bad mamas coffee is held… I have always wanted to go to bad mamas coffee.
I got to fondle Liz’s new book.
You’re jealous, aren’t you?

Two more books, yes I’m behind again
First, Dream it! List it! Do it! is a 43 Things book I picked up as a graduation gift for Michelle, while we were at A Room of One’s Own in Madison.
I was really really tired on the flight to Florida so rather than work or read my “real” book, I flipped through this one. It was fun. Just like surfing 43 Things but better because I wasn’t looking at a computer screen and because I didn’t have to sort through crummy lists.
Michelle and I are both “list” people and she promptly put the book in her purse and I saw her pull it out and flip through it several times during grad weekend.
Next, Eat, Drink and Be from Mississippi. I’ve been trying to read this book for a long long time. But the very long work hours and the exhaustion due to work hours caused me to have a lot of trouble getting into it. I wanted to read it, I just couldn’t read more than a chapter at a time. Finally, the last couple of days have left me with more reading time and I thoroughly enjoyed digging into this. I was also very disappointed when it ended. I think I need a sequel.
