Why Buy A Kindle + How To Read More

First, the obvious: there are a gazillion devices out there, and we're probably all feeling like we're teetering on the brink of insanity and bankruptcy. But before you abandon ship, let me make the case for adding a basic, inexpensive Kindle to your lineup! Now believe me: I am an obnoxious fangirl for all things Apple (did I tell you about that one time my home and office workspaces were featured on The Sweet Setup...?) and I get through my day with the help of many a Mac, iPad and iPhone. ...

How (and Why) To Set Up Branded Links

WHAT ARE SHORTLINKS, ANYWAY? I first started really noticing shortened links on Twitter in 2008. I vividly remember thinking: brilliant! It made perfect sense: tweets were limited to 140 characters, so to send someone to a particular article, a short permalink was helpful (example: t.co versus https://support.twitter.com/articles/109623).

10 Foodie Flicks To Devour This Summer

Summer is scrumptious. The days are long and languid while the nights are a little bit calmer and more relaxed. Even those of us who no longer have the luxury of a summer “break” typically find ourselves slowing down, relaxing, lowering our shoulders from our ear lobes and taking an extended exhale. The evenings stretch out like we don’t have a curfew or responsibilities, and tomorrow seems w a y too far off to worry about right now. It’s the perfect time to shrug off kitchen duty (snacky ...

How To Develop A Podcast Habit

Podcasts have had their moment, but now they are really having their moment… there’s a sudden resurgence, and I think that’s partially in response to many of us beginning to feel overwhelmed by all the content dancing before our eyes. I love podcasts for three reasons: I can deeply explore a specific topic or niche that is currently fascinating to me. I’m able to turn off all the overstimulation by simply listening (and giving my eyeballs a break). Listening lets me multitask - I can ... View Post
