So, Meg is starting a blog and we're talking about blogging and also my trip to South Africa.

Here's an example of a link.
Here's an example of how to add a photo.

i really like this post from tara hunt about mojo.  nice reference too to evelyn rodriguez's slow marketing.  i need to drink the kool-aid on that one.

especially since all i want to do is register immediately for this conference, and then convince lisa stone to let me work the registration table.  i love schmoozing so much it's scary.   plus it would give me an excuse to make my yearly pilgrimage here for cut and color.  lisa, i swear i would have my shit together this time and know who the CEO of blogher is before analyzing her conference with her for AN HOUR by the pool. 

maybe i should save my pennies and think about this instead.  but that would be scamming two trips to ny in one month if i count my trip with meryl.  hmmm....  that's a lot of ribbon for one girl to carry home.  especially in light of this recent project.

also, since this is my tech blog, i would like to say that i can barely move today from boxing dave on nick and jess's wii. 

must go kick the kids off the ps2 so i can get ready to kick dave's butt on ddr tonight.

enough for an entire weekend

Josh, as I should have known, already knew the answer to my question here.

I am addicted.

Doesn't that sound nice?  You'd go to your RSS feed and there'd be a list of blogfeeds set aside based on what's in your feed already.  Or what about a Netflix type recommendation service where you give a recommended blog a thumbs up or thumbs down and whatever results you give help the service offer you better recs in the future.

Does something like this exist?

That would be me (blushing).
I gave a talk a few weeks ago for a group of post-digital age newcomers (read: 45-65yo) about how blogging can expand your opportunities to share life experiences and wisdom.  The group was delightful and one of the attendees invited me to give a similar talk tonight to a support group of caregivers focusing on Alzheimer's.  I was happy to say yes!

I'll be talking about how blogs are changing the ways people are able to support one another through all kinds of major life events.  I'll tell stories about my own experience as someone who has been able to offer support in tangible ways as well as receive help from a warm (and wide) blogging community.  Feel free to join us tonight at 7PM here.

Here's my running list of blogs for people particularly interested in the experience of providing care for loved ones with Alzheimer's and/or dementia.  Please feel free to add others!

The Alzheimer Scarer  A woman from New Zealand illuminates the caregiver experience.
The Yellow Wallpaper  A beautiful account of mother-daughter connection, dying, Alzheimer's
The Mom and Me Journals  A definitive, elective journal of an unlikely caregiver
Mighty Iris An American family's experience with Alzheimer's
The Tangled Neuron  This site offers a layperson's search for scientific answers and cures.
Discovering Mom  One daughter's journey to care for her mother with Alzheimer's.
Dementia Blues  A writer's perspective on loving two parents with dementia.
Fading From Memory A family from Australia talks about providing care for both parents with Alzheimer's.
Memory Lane One woman's experience learning how to love parents who can no longer love you back because of Alzheimer's.
Had a Dad  A record of thoughts and feelings about having a father with Alzheimer's.
Mondays with Mother  A chronicle of one woman's weekly visits with her mother who has Alzheimer's.

For beginning bloggers--especially those of you who are looking for some place easy to start your blog about the caregiver experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Vox.
