Playground Politics? Really.

January 4, 2012 – 5:17 am

Mamacita says: Let’s start the New Year with some opinionated rants. I am not an A-list blogger/social network updater. I’ve always been more than just a little bit quirky and nerdy, and I still am. I don’t care. I’ve never been cool. Not then, not now. I don’t care. (much) In my Reader/friend list/etc. are [...]

I Go To A TED Presentation & Come Home A Better Person

May 15, 2011 – 6:57 pm

Yesterday, I attended TEDxBloomington. I learned more in one day than I’ve learned in the past 20 years. Well pootie-doo, they removed all the videos! When they put them back in again, I’ll show you my favorite one. Add to it the fact that I met several old friends and made several new ones, and [...]

Every Day Is Grammar Day

March 5, 2011 – 12:17 am

Mamacita says: Every day is grammar day for people who know how to use their own language correctly. This, of course, should be everyone who lives in any given country, and it is, for most countries. Except ours. The sad fact is that far too many Americans don’t know beans about how to use their [...]

Elevator Etiquette 101

February 18, 2011 – 1:55 am

Mamacita says: These are, of course, Things Nice People Already Know. Basic Elevator Etiquette for Dummies: 1. Push the appropriate button. If the button is already glowing, do not push it. If you repeatedly push an already-glowing button, everybody will know what you are. 2. Stand back. LEAVE ROOM FOR PEOPLE TO EMERGE FROM THE [...]

Army of Women: Dealing with Life’s Lumps

October 1, 2010 – 12:05 am

Mamacita asks: What does an Army of Women look like? It looks like you. And why should you be interested? Because it could have been you. Maybe it was you. Women remove their bras for many reasons. You know them, so I won’t list them. But I will add this one: so we can check [...]

Agog Amidst A Gig

August 11, 2010 – 12:58 am

Mamacita says: I love to attend conferences; I don’t know how people “keep up” with all the new “stuff” in any profession without going forth and finding out. Quite honestly, I believe that to fully appreciate the honing of one’s skills by attending conferences, we simply must attend more than one kind of conference. In [...]

Get Thee to a Conference, for Those Who Hone Not Their Skillz are as Useless as a Shoehorn in a Proctologist’s Office

June 9, 2010 – 12:40 am

Mamacita says: Whatever you do for a living, and particularly if you work in education, I think it is of vital importance that you try to keep up with what’s going on in that area. I work in education and social media, and I go to every conference I can afford, and even some I [...]

Scheiss Weekly: Age Six

April 13, 2010 – 11:06 pm

Mamacita says: I’ve been blogging for six years now, and it has changed me. Even the way I blogged in the beginning has changed. I think that part has changed for a lot of people. When most of us first started putting bits and pieces of ourselves “out there” for “strangers” to see, we didn’t [...]

Quotation Saturday: Heroes

January 24, 2010 – 4:51 am

Mamacita says: Heroes are all around us. We don’t know who they are until something happens and they leap into action. Ironically, the heroes don’t know they’re heroes until something happens, either. We all hope that we’ll react heroically, but the fact is, NOBODY knows until after the fact whether he/she will even do the [...]
