Time for a quick blog update!

I just want to share my amusement with Google Analytics. I just set it up on this website about a week ago and have been thoroughly enjoying seeing the data roll in. Thank you all for following my links on Twitter and/or Facebook, randomly googling me or looking me up from the link I have written in on my old business cards (I promise I’ll get new ones soon >.<) GA is exciting and a little creepy to be honest…I mean, I’m seeing hits from states where I don’t know anyone from, finding my blog. Common people, who are you? leave a comment, say hi, I don’t bite! Granted the average time spent on my site is about 2.5 minutes…and that’s alright, I don’t have much of interest up here yet…it’d just be fun to know who’s looking.

who are you people? don't be shy, say hi!

On another note, I have some wonderful exciting news to share with my vast number of readers…*cough sarcasm* I got an externship lined up for the Spring Semester with EatonGolden. Yay *happy dance* My final step in the process of graduating is soon upon me and I’m so excited to take on this challenge. Working with John Golden in my Psychology of Social Interaction I got to learn more about usability and web functionality. So when my class got to tour their office I was terribly excited when I got to have a chat with John and Emily about what I was looking for in an externship and they said they wanted to bring me on. I couldn’t be happier. It’s going to be a lot of work but I’m all about it.

Last night I took part in a Women Helping Women networking group meeting at the Medina Entertainment center. The keynote speaker was Dave Meyer of Bizzyweb and he spoke about Social Media use for personal and small business use. I had a lot to add to the conversation and very much enjoyed learning some of his professional strategy suggestions. Might even end up doing some freelance work for him soon. It was great to finally have the opportunity to go to the group that I’ve been helping Melissa get going. She’s done such a great job putting this group together and I think it will do a world of good for the women who get involved. I can’t wait to see it grow.

Tomorrow night I think I’m going to catch the Bella Koshka show at The Whole on the U of M campus, haven’t found anyone to go with yet but I’ll manage. Should be good times all around. Perhaps I’ll get to catch up with Hilary (the violinist of Bella Koshka). Can’t wait to get that project going, but more to come on that later I think.

That’s all for now, time for some Project Runway!
