Feeling the Reach: Stories Around the Web
It’s always a pleasant surprise to get a link back from a blog — especially one that doesn’t belong to a friend, but I’ve had some pretty big surprises this past week, which resulted in some pretty big traffic for this little blog.
First, Cracked.com linked to my wavy facade post — in an article called [...]
Weekly Reading and a New Watercolor
Today, after going to Tuttle and having a lovely Friday morning talking to friends and making new ones, I headed to Hyde park with my watercolors, intent on painting something in the afternoon sunshine. What you see above was my one and only creation — a view of the end of the serpentine, facing the [...]
Tuesday Night London Blogger Meetup
I finally made it to another one of Andy Bargery’s blogger meetup — this time at the Coach & Horses — and had a nice evening catching up with Londonist folks, seeing some people I hadn’t seen in a while and meeting a few new ones, too. I worry that since I know some people [...]
Is the Week Already Over?
It’s been another busy week in London. I’m still writing up stories on Sugarscape, only managed to do one blog for Londonist — “London – Bangladesh? Let the Train Take the Strain” — and started posting on the Workology blog.
Other than that, I also made it to another chocolate tasting, this time at Keith Hurdman’s [...]
The Londonist Eye, Social Media Mafia and Your Weekly Reading
Well, it’s been a busy week to say the least. I started an internship at Hachette Filipacci, wrote a new Entrepreneur.com article (you’ll see it soon) and still managed to write Londonist posts four out of five days.
I also managed to make it to the Museum of London for a pub quiz last night with [...]
Fantastic Londonist April Fool
Just had to give a quick link to the Londonist April Fool’s joke yesterday: “Piggy-Back Plan To Beat Heathrow Congestion.” A little excerpt:
With the situation showing little sign of improvement at the brand new T5, London’s aviation bosses are keen to turn the public’s attention to plans for dealing with the real elephant in the [...]
Weekly Reading: Another Short List for Another Short Week
Well, coming back from Barcelona on Tuesday, it was a short week, though one full of work. The Londonist posts for the week:
Starling Numbers Still Slipping: Lots of Londoners participate in a garden bird survey, and the numbers show even fewer Starlings than ever before, though they’re still London’s most populous garden bird.
Pigeon Promotion Takes [...]
Weekly Reading: A Short List for a Short Week
Happy Friday, everyone. And even happier in London where everyone has Good Friday off, which also means a four-day weekend, since Monday is a holiday, too. Because of my traveling last weekend and today off, I only have three Londonist posts to share, though I did have a Hitched article from earlier in the week, [...]
Weekly Reading: Londonist Posts
As you read this (well, if you’re reading this when I posted it) I’m on my way to New York. I’ll likely be offline for the weekend, but I’ll be back in London Monday and I’m sure I’ll have plenty to report.
But as is current Friday custom around here, check out my Londonist posts for [...]
New Hitched Article: The Family Blog
I’m very excited about my new Hitched article, just published today, called “The Family Blog.” It’s all about how personal blogging can help you stay connected with family and friends and create an evolving keepsake for your family.
Though it focuses more on the technical, how-to aspects of setting up a blog, I wish I could [...]

Congestion Charge a Health Benefit?
Trippier than Towing
My parents are leaving tomorrow, so I’m off for one last afternoon [...]
More Londonist Posts: Tracking the Tube
I’ve done two more posts for Londonist, which has been lots of fun so far. I’m working on sounding more British and trying to remember my extraneous U’s and such. It’s a work in progress.
The two posts are both about the tube, though quite different. Today I wrote about a man who scammed the London [...]
More Writing News: My First Post on Londonist
I had the good fortune of meeting some of the Londonist crew at the Blogger Meetup at the end of January, and I’ll be doing some posts on there while I’m in town. Today, I wrote my first item: “Fuzzy Friday News: Pups Are Musical Snobs.” I’m planning on doing some food writing too, as [...]
