Re: Getting Down With the Panache Sports Bra

Silona — Sat, 05 Apr 2014 15:25:25 -0000

I have pointy boobs and lots of people say "hey you have pointy boobs" and I normally say "yep they could poke your eye out if you come too close - so i wouldn't recommend it." Though most people do want me to wear a padded bra to hide it because normal bras don't. Everyone constantly thinks I'm cold or excited. I have been told "it isn't professional."
People notice what is different esp on parts of the body that are objectified and sexualized. It's annoying and people often run on the default setting of stupid. I like to say things that pop them out of their stupor and realize I'm real.

when I perforated my intestines...

I was only allowed lean steak, rice, carrots

I think pills w intestinal flora were also good. but couldn't handle the yogurt - milk proteins and fat didn't work for me.

Hope that helps!

Re: Why Speakers Shouldn’t Be Paid

Silona — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:37:10 -0000

I have to admit - I mostly agree.

Mainly because I am now official spoiled by barcamps... for the most part I find it rare that the speaker is any better or useful than the guy/gal I just met in the hallway or brainstormed w at barcamp.

The only time though I have not found that to be true is conferences that are tutorial in nature. I really really want a paid trainer/speaker for those like the catalyst conference. I do want someone that has done the prezo more than once...

Have you read Mike Neuenschwander post on relational symmetry?

I think this is key for obtaining trust relationships for both the creation and protection of data and "privacy" (privacy as societal construct with legal ramifications not obscurity.)

Thank you so much for highlighting this here!

Talking with Drupal programmers right now about how to implement this in Drupal. They believe we can have it setup in a month since Drupal already does pretty URL's.

http://citability.org - is the concept and those that support it!

http://citability.pbworks.com is where we are discussion the VARIOUS implementation of the concept!

Cheers!

Re: Status Update: Plaxo and Facebook are now in an “Open Relationship”

Silona — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:11:20 -0000

Are those gonna mesh w the facebook ones - cause that would make my life a bunch easier!

I am not sure why people are unhappy here? This is yet another avenue of syncing
information sources.

I know I frequently use twitter, facebook and linkedin as points of contact when I have
neglected to record someone's contact information.

Though I hope someday - y'all will do something like friend groups that livejournal
had so that I can parse then by persona a bit easier that just business, friend and family.

Cheers! - Silona
