Sweet, tasty news!
Firstly, I've taken on the responsibilities of Portland Chapter Provost for the wildly successful Beer and Blog. This position is akin to the one Julie had on the Love Boat, only with no boat or Capt'n Stubing, but plus beer and Justin Kistner. Okay, yes it's much more than that. I write on the blog, generate ideas, support the team. You know what? I've just decided that I need a clipboard. Yep. And also just decided that someone should buy me a beer at the next Beer and Blog. It's just curteous, for the Love of Pete. And also, that we should make it a tradition. Whee, this job is FUN!
Next, I need to confirm a rumor I've heard is a-flying: It's true, I will be the month of July in the Naked for a Cause 2010 charity calendar, which is now available for pre-order on their Web site. The calendars are expected in the flesh late next month. (Oh, yes. I went there.) My image was taken by film whisperer Aaron Hockley. So, go get one and help P:EAR, the PCC Multimedia Club and Free Geek, this year's funding recipients. (By the way, my fragile ego wouldn't mind at all if you asked for an autograph. Just putting that out there.)
Finally, and this is a big one for me folks, next month I'll be co-teaching a class with Melissa Lion. She'll handle the part on writing narrative for blogs, and I'll be yammering on about social media tools and blog promotion and the like, until I'm told my time is up and can I please shut the hell up now? I'm a bit nervous about this. Will I be able to shut up? (Note to self: practice shutting up.)
I hope to see more faces at the Beer and Blog, a great surge in sales of the nudie, er, tasteful simulated nudity calendar, and butts in the seats of my class next month.
Come on! I'm putting myself out there, after all.

Putting myself out there (literally)

7 Tell me you love me:
When we were trying to come up with position titles for CubeSpace, we decided that the front desk staff were Cruise Directors (aka Julie) and David & I were Captain Stubbing. It took us ~ a year to realize that none of out staff under 32 had any clue that we were making a reference. They just thought we were being weird.
Our schedules continue to list the positions by their Love Boat-derived names, but they are just not as much fun when only David and I get the joke.
You have been warned.
Then I expect you to be either wearing your uniform, or wearing nothing every time I see you.
And congrats! You rock. We love you!
The MOMENT I get my financial aid moolah I'll be reserving a couple of those hot calendars!! Considering mediachick got her nakeditity on in my kitchen (thank YOU) it's the least I can do...
atta girl... oh and I'll sign yours if you sign mine?
just wanted to say: this is a very well-written post, the conversational, engaging tone. you've got talent.
Eva - I find myself infinitely amusing, so if my Love Boat reference sails over heads (Oh! I'm on a puny roll!) I prolly wouldn't even notice. ;)
