in What’s Your Motivation on Fiction Matters
My motivation? If I don't get it out of my head and "onto paper" (Word in my case), then the characters never shut up. My motivation is requiring peace and quiet now and then. LOL

Now that's funny. But yeah. I totally support and use the serial comma - sometimes it's just needed. Period.

in Redding Road at Lansdowne Drive Turn Improvements - StimulusWatch.org on Stimulus Watch
Something needs to be done to aid the ability of buses to turn from Lansdowne onto Redding at that intersection. It's horrible.

I don't see me Dave!!! I seem to keep slipping off your follow list somehow. It happens to a lot of people - i lose them, they lose me. Is odd.

in Dear Twitter- I'll Give Back SO Much Space on Chris Brogan
I agree with the occasional lack of a trash basket. That's annoying. I also agree with Chris' original post here. It's the same gripe I've had since I started using Twitter.
Another thing I'd like to see is "newer / older" links at the top of the timeline. The ones at the bottom are handy, but having the same thing at the top would go a long way, especially when reading three or four pages of tweets.
Would also like an option to choose whether we see 10, 20, 30, or 50 (or whatever) tweets per page!
I don't think we should have to rely on outside scripts to get Twitter to do what we want or need it to do.

in Own the Crowd With Better Speaking on Chris Brogan
One thing that's helped me a lot and I know that's helped other people is pretending to be more confident than I really am. Public speaking and meeting new people terrifies the crap out of me -- and I admit to everybody, I have panic disorder; I'm naturally 'jumpy'. Even so, I've found this trick goes a long way! :)

in Making Gmail The Center of Your Online Universe on The Paisano
I'm a mountain girl. A Kentucky mountain girl. I was happy to see the "mountain" theme. However, I don't like it and am thinking about griping to Google a little. When I think "mountain", I think "Appalachia" - not Rockies. :(

in Pepsi Reaches out to Digital People in Analog on Chris Brogan
I still miss Pepsi in glass bottles. Nothing else tastes quite the same. I like that new logo, though; it's rockin'! ;) And I don't think it's just sodas that are making kids "obese and sick", just for the record.

The people I grew up next door to raised popcorn. ZOMG that stuff was wonderful! My mom got me a hot air popper for Christmas last year. Now it's Orville Redenbacher all the way!

in Guest Post- On Being Shy on Chris Brogan
One thing that helped me a lot was merely pretending that I wasn't shy, that I am a go-getter and a big people person. As a result, I was (and am) able to get out there and meet people and get things done.

I got to see BNL exactly once and would give my eyeteeth to see them play again. They're awesome. Thanks for this, Chris. I hadn't heard this one yet.

in Etiquette in the Age of Social Media on Chris Brogan
@Len Devanna I agree. I get chastised at times because I refuse to blog about every aspect of my life. I just refuse to be that transparent, to be that public. It's not my place to share something just because Joe Schmoe asked me to.

in Ten Tech Solutions To Improve Your Productivity on Chris Brogan
Am a big fan of Evernote - I may have found it through you, Chris, actually. It's helped me put my daily personal notes and my ever-growing writing notes together in one place, but usable wherever I happen to be.

Thanks
