New Pug Dog Owners

Gremlin

It is official. We are now dog owners. We purchased this little cute Pug puppy today and have need to find a name for her. We are taking suggestions! We have been wanting a dog for quite some time now (three years or so) but our previous landlords were not in favour of pet ownership for their tenants. But our new landlords insisted we acquire a pet (thanks, Mom and Dad for becoming our new lords of our wee bit of land).

More pictures later but I hope she will give everyone kisses in the near future. We need to start some puppy proofing. Any tips for new dog owners?

And a special thanks goes out to Diane who is the web master of a great Pug dog website called Pugs on the Beach.

Oh, and, why a Pug? It's small and has a pathetic bark which will make our neighbours happy. Also, she is damn cute and has that "Yoda-Gremlin" look going on.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.

events

I do a little traveling here and there for technology conferences and what not. Here are the ones I am going to next or have attended recently.
