Tech I love and hate
I don't think I've eaten at Arby's since I was in college. I liked their little meat and bread balls when I was kid too but never really frequented the establishment much. Since college, the chain got associated with fandom as a cheap and easy place to go eat fast food. I wish I knew the … Continue reading Arby’s and Their Brilliant Targeting of Fandom
I have two Instagram accounts that I use to experiment with content and their algorithms. I started running a VPN on my phone after some of the big data breaches as an added layer of security for myself. With the app update on September 18, 2017, I began to see errors when I tried to … Continue reading Instagram Hates VPN, Except When It Doesn’t
I've finally had time to update my site & set up a my domain and getting it all working with a new template. I'll eventually load old content here from other pages and sites to fill it out a bit. I'll definitely start post more often than I was before since I own everything here. … Continue reading I Finally Updated My Site
It’s not a major issue but I found this UI bug super annoying. Over the last week or so, I’ve spent a few minutes here and there scheduling some posts for my @fabric_lover twitter feed. I created posts out until October and I’m happy to have that done and out of the way. BUT I … Continue reading I found a UI bug in HootSuite
The Mr. is a long time Product Designer and artist so we have a TON of equipment for making things in various ways. 3D Printing is pretty awesome and he has a FormLabs 3D printer. I sort of suck at 3D creation tools – despite my previous history as a sculptor (way back in college) … Continue reading 3D Printing – Do It Yourself Jewelry
Previously, I shared some of the free platforms for social media automation. Since I have worked [and do work] with really large corporations, I thought I’d share one of the tools I’ve used for social media publishing previously. You can get quite a bit out of just one automation platform and I recommend it for … Continue reading Social Automation: One of the Big Boys
I am a BIG believer in automation of social media wherever possible. If you post on one feed, you should post where ever else is relevant. Take this blog for instance… When each post is published, it shows up on my twitter feed and my Tumblr (well, it was actually posting to the wrong tumblr for … Continue reading Social Automation – Free to Use Platforms
I've always collected fabric, even before I could sew. I love the patterns and the way it drapes, so so pretty. So a long time ago, I decided I give a try to pattern design. Now whenever the bug hits me, I have a place to feature and print them. I use spoonflower, though I … Continue reading Crafty: I’m Fabric Nerdy Too
Editing to add Jan 2024: Spark is now Express and the interface has changed quite a bit. Still an AWESOME app. Adobe has a new desktop design tool for all of the social media people out there. It’s called Spark – and it is super simple to work with. I’ve had to make social graphics … Continue reading Adobe Express – Make Social Posting Easy!
Many, many years ago a lovely little game came out called, Chrono Cross. It’s been so long that I barely remember playing it. The one piece that has stuck with me is the music and that is where Yasunori Mitsuda comes in. He is the composer of the fabulous music in the game. I listen … Continue reading Fangirling: Composer, Yasunori Mitsuda
