Happy April, friends! Spring is finally here and I’m darn happy. So happy I created another wallpaper in Canva, with an image by Allan Carvalho via Pexels. Click on the image to open it in another window. Then do whatever…
Rabbit Rabbit! Happy March!
I’ve been more and more inspired by how cool old-fashioned blogging used to be, back when we weren’t instructed to end posts with a question in order to inspire conversation and inevitably monetization. Back when posts were smaller and some…
Happy 22nd birthday, blog!
Twenty-two years ago today I used Blogger to add a blogging section to my website*. The first post was truly profound. When I exported from Blogger, multiple posts on one day came over alphabetically instead of chronologically so even though…
Twenty years of blogging!
I loved the concept of the Internet from the first moment I learned about bulletin boards and email in college. At that time I didn’t have a real computer at home, opting instead to write my papers on a portable…
Autumn Webkeeping

Chocolate Chip Thursday
Day two of “business professional” and I adeptly scaled it back down to fit in, although I still looked sharp. “Sharp as a dart,” my grandmother would say. Mom says I’m a lot like her when I become impatient and…

May 2007 LGN stats and Second Saturday
Figured I’d start screenshotting this, since my continued writing of these terms are most likely skewing the search engines. May 2007 brought 30,070 page views (+80.8% to last year) /15,900 visits (+56.6% to last year) to my little web abode….
Yeah…I think I'll keep you around
I just renewed kimberussell.com for 2 more years. LadyGypsy dot com is owned by a guy who sells subliminal hypnosis tapes and “magick amulets.” I once (very politely) contacted him so I could take over the name, since it’s never…
Shameless attention whoring (what's new?)
So I was browsing my usual list of blogs and found this internet meme on my buddy Brian’s site. (Well, it’s really a LiveJournal but I won’t judge, since I have a MySpace I barely look at.) It looked interesting…
