Follow me on Twitter!

Hi everyone... wow. I'm sitting here, glued to the TV, watching election results come in. I can't even say how happy I am to be living in the US, living history. Once the night has come to a close, and the results are in, I'm going to write about today. I want to remember everything about the day, where I was and what I was doing as history was made.

For now, though, I wanted to let everyone know that you can follow me on Twitter - I'll likely update that daily or at least several times a week.

It's back!

What's back? The SPPNTCJ -- The Society for Preventing Parents from Naming Their Children Jennifer. Also known as a site I kept between 1996 and 2000.

I'm still waiting for some application approvals for adding site advertising, etc., and can't wait to get rolling with the Jennifer stories, Jennifer links, and SPPNTCJ members pages. So go on, have a look, and be sure to add the News page feed and the Jennifer stories feed. If you like it, please spread the word!

Airline fever, and a note about The Great Walk to Beijing

Hi there everyone! It's been a very busy week over here. I'm a little wiped, just got off plane #10 in 5 (or 6?) weeks in the wee hours of yesterday morning, coming back from Chicago! I was there for Internet Retailer Conference, which was a great experience to have, both booth time and sitting in on speaker sessions.

Right now, though, airports, airplanes and I may need a bit of time off from each other. Or at least for this weekend! ;) I am getting a really good sampling of a lot of the airlines in North America, though! In the last 12 months, I've been on flights (sometimes more than one) with all of the following: Southwest, Northwest, American, Alaska, US Airways, United, Air Canada, and WestJet. Otherwise known as my list titled "These are the ~~Daves~~ airlines I know, I know, these are the ~~Daves~~ airlines I know." One day I'm going to have to write up a post about things to do on an airplane when you're grounded on the tarmac for an hour without Internet access and mildly bored out of your mind, that won't get you kicked off the plane. Tip #1 is to make sure you've rented a movie from the iTunes Store. I watched "Stardust" on my flight out to Chicago, and girly as it's going to sound, absolutely LOVED it!

I'm on lunch right now, and as we head into the weekend on this beautiful Friday the 13th, I wanted to make a note about a good cause I'd love for you all to support, if you're able.The awesome Aussie boys of Juke Kartel are taking part in a cancer research fundraiser called The Great Walk to Beijing, which will support both cancer research and funding for building the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia. You can read more about the centre and its purpose here, and can make a donation or sponsor walkers at the site. To sponsor Juke Kartel's walk, you can click here or on the banner below to be taken to that section of The Great Walk to Beijing site. It's sad to say, but we've all lost either relatives, family friends, or family pets (or all of these) to this horrible disease, or know someone who has. Even if you can only read up on the centre, the stories, the strides being made and what the event's all about, education is a great thing. If you'd like to support cancer research and treatment, all it takes is $10, and you can dedicate your donation to those you know and love who've battled cancer. Thank you.
