My husband found this on Digg, and shared it with me. Yes, English is crazy, but we love it anyway. 🙂 It’s no wonder that we have translation issues with it sometimes!
Watch this video and enjoy:
I could’ve have sworn that I had the video below posted somewhere on this blog as well, but I couldn’t find it. This one is great as well.

Four years ago today, April 3 2010, was launch day for the original iPad. Some said it was ‘just a giant iPod’ while Steve Jobs hailed it as a ‘magical and r
I personally love iPads, as anyone who reads this blog knows! I’ve promoted its use in education quite a bit, and still believe it’s a great educational tool both in and out of the classroom. My son uses mine frequently when doing writing assignments and looking up math information on the Khan Academy app. In four short years, the educational app market has exploded with lots of great educational tools for all to use–adults and children alike. iPads have changed the way we compute, much like this article says. It’s more tactile and interactive than a laptop (although laptops and all-in-ones are starting to get on board with touch screens and using app-like programs to run on them).
We were truly brought into the 21st century with this invention. Even if you like an Android tablet better, you still have to give credit to the iPad for starting it all.
Happy Birthday, iPad! I couldn’t live without you!

Hello, friends! 🙂
If you didn’t figure it out by now, I’m not going anywhere. My post, “Sayonara, TechCommGeekMom,” was an April Fool’s Day prank. I was put up to the task by none other than Al Martine and Connie Giordano, editors of TechWhirl. They approached me with the idea to add an article to their annual April Fool’s Day edition of TechWhirl. It was actually Al’s idea for me to write a send-off for my blog, and hopefully, I succeeded in my first attempt at writing satire. The scary thing is, much of that article wasn’t that far-fetched! I wouldn’t mind having a PhD in either History or Tech Comm, working at a yarn store (I do know how to knit, and I actually do understand the differences between types of wool), or pursuing genealogy as a profession. The reality is that none of that is happening anytime soon, and I’m not giving up tech comm or this blog. (Although, it seems that my “demise” garnered many hits on my blog. I’m hoping that it’s because you’d all miss me!)
If anything, I’m more dedicated than ever to keep this little blog going.  It’s been quite the journey already, and with the all-time hits approaching the 20,000 mark, and over 600 curated and original posts here, I don’t want to lose momentum. In my eyes, I’m still growing this blog, and it’s still a baby.  Would I like to attain the kind of readership that someone like, say, Tom Johnson, has? Absolutely. Tom has a head start on me, having been a tech writer for a longer time, and also having kept a tech comm blog for a longer time. And that’s okay. Tom is totally cool, so if I can be like him in eight to ten years of growing my blog, I’m good with that. We’re not in competition anyway, as we don’t necessarily address the same things.  He’s also earned the top tech comm blogger title because he provides insightful and helpful information. Over time, I hope that I am providing that same kind of service. (Hey, I was just thrilled to death when he recognized me at the Intelligent Content Conference last month!)
So, no worries! I’m still here. I’m going to be continuing to write and curate information about blogging, technical writing, e-learning, m-learning, and any other cool tech-geek stuff that I can find that I feel is worth sharing. I’m always open to ideas on how to grow my blog, including having guest bloggers, discussions, polls–anything–to keep ideas fresh and discussions flowing. If you’d like to see a topic covered, let me know!
TechCommGeekMom continues to be built on the concept of creating a tech comm and e-learning community, where newbies like myself could converse with more experienced technical communicators in a relaxed and casual atmosphere, sort of like friends hanging out at the kitchen table at Mom’s house. In this case, it’s TechCommGeekMom’s table, so pull up a chair. I’m sure I’ve got some snacks around here somewhere.

We all tiptoe around the f-word. Failure, that is. Though, if you haven’t failed in business, you haven’t tried.
This is an interesting perspective on how to view social media, and it’s definitely worth reading. I think we’re all afraid of failure–I sure am–but there are some things to keep in mind when measuring successes versus failures. This article talks about that, especially in the view of social media exposure. My goal, as he summarizes, is to connect outside of social media, but use social media as the conduit to make that happen. Take a look at this article.

I found this article thanks to Guy Kawasaki on Google +. I am glad to be reading more and more articles that talk about the quality of a blog instead of the analytical quantity of a blog. This article talks about influence over analytics. The three main points listed in this article are three things that I try to achieve with my blog for the long-term. This is definitely worth a read for anyone who is thinking of blogging.
