My New Job with Phase2 Technology

Yes, I am leaving my current job for a new one.

This Friday will be my last day at the US Government Printing Office as a Program Planner in the PMO and on Monday I start at Phase2 Technology as a Project Manager. As with any job move, I am appreciative of the valuable experience I [...]

Web 2.0, Help My Family

So, today I started a Google Doc and shared it with some people. This may seem like a normal thing these days – but I realized that this is pretty significant. This particular document was about my family history and I shared it with some family members. I am trying to get as much of [...]

post-Asia, pre-Europe

With a great trip to Asia (the Philippines and Japan) completed, I am pretty excited about heading to Europe (UK, Austria and Poland). So, before I have more pictures, I thought I would post about a few of my Asia favorites. Who doesn’t love pictures and stories?

Tam-awan Village near Baguio, Philippines: Rainforest in the mountains. [...]

Women Contributors on Tech Blogs (and the lack of them)

I was reading the post on the Solutions Are Power blog (Network Solutions) about women in social media and it got me thinking about my experience as a female in tech. Christina Warren makes a good point that girls are perhaps discouraged early on from joining the tech industry. I don’t want to dive too [...]

Personal Branding and My Brand

With all the talk about PR and personal brands, I have recently wondered how it is that one approaches creating their own brand. Do most people develop a personal brand strategy? Do they just analyze in passing on the Metro or do they actually write a strategic plan for themselves? And what drives them to [...]

Web 2.0 and Being One

So much of Web 2.0 is fundamentally different then how I remember the web initially. I remember clever screen names, self describing email addresses and having the freedom to represent yourself as whatever online personality you desired. And now, in the era of Web 2.0, we are just online extensions of our regular selves.

However, I [...]

I Would Prefer My Centralized Me Reside Here

First, read this TechCrunch article.

I am a fan of multiple online services and the creation of new services. However, I have a bit of an issue with the idea of my profiles and content reside in multiple places in multiple forms. It has always felt like a necessary evil in the field. So, I have [...]

I am now on Twitter

I sometimes hesitate just a bit to join new services because I don’t mind letting others be the first adopters. Then if I hear it from enough people or become substantially convinced that I can or want to put the service to good use, I join. So, I am now on Twitter: www.twitter.com/liz315

But don’t expect [...]

Posting again: a blog entry about blogging

I have wanted to post again for a while. But I haven’t. And at this point I am pretty sure none of the ten people who used to read my blog, still do.

So, I write to the empty internet space.

It is the internet space itself that intimidates me to my core. How do I compete [...]

endings and beginnings

Well, the semester is coming to a close. For me that just means a variation of “summer vacation” – in other words, just full-time work!

It has all been worth the work. Check out my completed online project here.

The official title is: Balancing innovation, fair use and copyright protection in digital media: debating the Digital Millennium [...]
