A blog on Life, Love & The Pursuit of Techyness
Everything is vying for our attention. EVERYTHING. And in time, maybe we’ll train ourselves to become better at managing the hierarchy of distractions (infographic shoutout!) but in today’s world, the expectations are increasingly becoming that we’ll repond to everything, from wherever we are and whatever we are doing. We bring our smart phones to bed. [...]

I grew up wearing a uniform. So, as a girl, your only way to showcase your personality was through your purse and your shoes, and at my school, it was all about the bag. Many went for the true americana styles of Coach or Dooney, and of course there was the occasional Euro entry (which [...]
I don’t know how I made it through the day before failblog, texts from last night, and fml. But what’s more interesting is the effect these sites have had on my life. Not only do I blog about them, kick off meetings (long meetings with the right people) with a hilarious new video or photo, [...]
If you are a reader of the Techyness, you’ve probably noticed from my numerous Gossip Girl references that I’m a fan. It goes without saying that historically, popular television shows and their casts have made an impact on trends- mainly clothing, hair, jewelry, etc. But today, with gadgets becoming an extension of our personalities (and [...]
I’ve heard a lot of complaining lately about twitter and status updates, but, one thing to think about (and I’ve mentioned this before) is the power of the aggregate data.

A new trend is “de-friending” (removing people from your facebook friends list) and “un-following” (removing ‘friends’ from twitter. It’s [...]
While browsing new posts from my favorite preppy fashionista, I realized that it’s about time to tackle the “Web 2.0 chain letter” that seems to be invading collaborative outlets everywhere. Chain letters have evolved over time… first with cheesy letters, then emails, and now in social media, where one can attach multimedia to answer questions [...]
The Internet builds communities and allows for knowledge sharing on anything from your LAN gaming addiction to ice chewing (i’m not kidding). But there’s a new kid in town… FML, or F*** my life.com. The site first launched in French as “Vie de Merde,” which translates to “shitty life.” According to the site’s blog, the [...]
Last week, I gave a presentation on “Managing Gen Y” to a group of CIOs, and while talking about social media and collaborative technologies, the Techyness came up in conversation. And then I realized something… I’ve been blogging for over two years. 2 years! Here is a throwback to the first post on the Techyness, [...]
