eBook Test Kitchen
I spent a great deal of time this past weekend testing recipes for my upcoming ebook which currently has no name because The Supermarket Vegan was taken. After tweeting that fact, I got some great suggestions, so it’s time for a poll (see sidebar)! Choose the one you like best, or if you have a better option, please suggest it! Poll will close on March 9th; watch this space for the winner! Even after discovering the loss of my beloved title, I thought gathering and perfecting the recipes would be the hard part, but it is so not! I’m almost finished with @sisterdiane’s ebook Write, Publish, and Sell Your Crafty eBook which is a phenomenal resource. My stumbling block is the tech – I know, how can this happen to a tech teacher? Well,...
Interview: Jennifer Lambein
Many people see very little value in LinkedIn beyond the ability to post your resume and recommendations. When looking for a job or freelance work, it can be one of many resources people use, but I’ve met few people who find value in the networking aspect of LinkedIn. I belong to a number of groups on LinkedIn and receive daily summaries of activity on and posts to those groups. Probably once or twice a week I click on a link in the Animation Educators group or the Women in Digital Media group. However, I always read through the daily digest from the Blog Zone group and find at least one useful link. I don’t always comment, and sometimes once I arrive at the link, it’s not as useful as I expected, but more often than not, I learn...
Trashy Valentine
This episode of the podcast is a bit late due to my guest vegan valentine’s day segment on aplayfulday’s podcast along with changing semesters and our school art show. I do come back with a vengeance, Bruce Willis style, with 50 fun filled minutes packed with film festivals, trashy novels, knitting adventures, ebooks, and what it means to be from New Jersey! I mention two additional podcasts, so after you listen to mine, go check Amanda and her CraftLife podcast out, along with Sister Diane’s Craftypod podcast (more about Craftypod below). Falling to Pieces, the Zombie Romantic Comedy filmed for the Project21 Film Festival Summer 2010 will have it’s New Jersey Premiere at the Garden State Film Festival in March. I’ll update this...
Sky Scarf Update!
I mentioned in an earlier podcast that I started the Sky Scarf, a conceptual knitting project by Lea Redmond at Leafcutter Designs. I started a thread on the ravelry group for others to join me in this adventure over the coming year, but sadly, I’m knitting alone. If you are inspired to knit a scarf that records the color of the sky in your part of the world over the next year, join me! Or you can join this ravelry group started by Ms. Redmond, or join both! I’m using 5 colors, all from Peace Fleece: Negotiation Grey, Father’s Grey, Galooby Blue, Antartica White and the most beautiful turquoise blue ever, Blue Jay. It’s hard to differentiate the Blue Jay from the Galooby blue in this picture so I labeled it. I have yet to select...
Vegan Valentine
When GreenTriangleGirl from the APlayfulDay podcast asked me to do a Vegan Valentine’s Day edition of her “Munch, Burp, Slurp” segment, I immediately thought, “Hey, I have no significant other, don’t want one, how’s this going to work?” However, as she says in the introduction, GreenTriangleGirl recognizes that I can’t resist a challenge! So I cooked and baked, recorded and begged my daughter and her friends for their opinions, and thus, a Vegan Valentine’s Day podcast segment was born. (My son even tried the cake and rated it as “pretty good”.) On the menu? Mushroom Walnut Pate from Veganomicon by Post Punk Kitchen, Orecchiette with Basil-Mint Aioli from Veganize This! by Jenn Shagrin, some...
