I've been a bad blogger. I haven't been posting lately. I need to get better at this! It's been a busy busy few weeks! Whew! My Birthday... We traveled to Eastern Pennsylvania for a few days for several reasons... My cousin was coming to visit from Wisconsin, my other cousin just had a new baby who I got to meet (What a lil' cutie!), I missed playing with my nephew and it was my birthday. To

Once again I am up late. I enjoy the quiet of the evening and my time. The house is still, there's only the soft noise of the tv that's turned down low and a single car engine here and there as it passes by my house in the "sticks"... as people who actually live in Boston & Boston Metro refer to "out here".I've been like this since I was a kid. Rearranging furniture in my bedroom while everyone

Here's a little excerpt for who it's for and why... (and GO DO IT for all of us!) Over 12,000 people filled out the survey during its first 24 hours online."Designers, developers, project managers. Writers and editors.

Seriously I could post a little more often than I do. Well... At work we've come up slightly for air. (Ya, I'll blame my lack of blog postings on that!) Our team recently had a press release for our product - the Monster Career Ad Network. YAY us! A long time coming! Dee did a really great job getting the word out and apparently everyone in our world is buzzing a little over it. This is my

Hi ya, Yes I am actually alive. Had an awesome Christmas hanging out with the family. Many stories and hilarious antics - as usual if you knew my family! So getting back to the usual grind again, cleaning up the house and disposing of christmas decorations yet dealing with 70 degree weather! This is utter insanity in the Boston area! I'm gleefully wearing flip-flops today. Is the weather aware

The duh design award of the day goes to whomever designed this one! I should really come up with some sort of logo/certificate to hand out. Anyway... A woman I work with comes over to my desk hardly able to contain her giggling. Of course she comes to me knowing I raise the stupid flag in laughter a lot and I am going to get what she's about to tell me immediately. See, we've just moved in to a

Hi all, I just LOVE finding newly redesigned pages!Don't know if this is live 100% of the time or if I randomly stumbled across it this evening but check it out! Impressive as compared to previous versions as of late. They were getting kinda hodge-podgy. (Monster archived pages on the Way Back Machine) Looks like a great new focus on user experience and career focused job seekers. You can get in

There he is! I figured it might be cool to show exactly how cute the new little guy is! His first picture on the interweb. Um, and his mother will most likely never see this. When I told her I had a picture of him on my blog she asked "what's a flog?". Uh... there's not much more to say there. I love her, she's my sister, so I just giggled and explained what a blog was. I'm telling you she was

So cute, so sweet, so little... and how many times do you hear AWWWWWW!It's unbelievable how someone so little creates such a stir not only in their parents life but everyone around them. I have and will continue to be sucked into the vacumn known as Jackson. (I however am NOT as bad as his grandfather - dear lord help him!)Anywho...

I realized something interesting the other day after interviewing this kid that I was quite impressed by. I looked at his resume and college coursework and realized something fascinating probably only to me and co-worker whom I chatted with. This young kid had taken pretty much the same courses I had, only he received an Interaction Design Major. Now, I was in college in the mid nineties (92-97

I saw Landis' press conference... and heard Lance's comments... also heard Greg Lemond's... I'm still holding out hope. Let the B sample come back alright. I must say I was rather turned off at Lemond's comments though. He seems so ready to call everyone out for doping. I don't know, I've watched a few tv specials and such on him and think he was an awesome cyclist but I'm kind of sick of hearing

So I went to 1800 flowers today (for my parents anniversary tomorrow - ARGH!!) and got a sneak peek at their new redesign! I like it! Here's a screenshot if you're not seeing it on the site. It looks like they're using some ajax technology, and it appears, from a user point of view, a much more responsive and faster site overall. Rollovers, drop down navigation, click on Login and a box pops

ClickZ Article on it - July 17th. The redesign is officially live...The redesign has been in preview mode since May and was designed to balance advertisers and user's needs. Much more customizable and interactive. (sounds google-esk and MSN-ish to me!)It's in limited areas so here's the link to check it out.To be honest... It looks a lot like AOL.com and a little itunes-y to me. Maybe it's the
