I’m Shutting Down my Blog for A Second

Yesterday, I secured the necessary help in something long overdue – the re-building of KeriBlog.com. It’s renovation time around here.

This current version is popsicle sticks and tape. It’s so broken you can neither search nor leave a comment, the 2 most basic internet functions omg, nightmares literally. I’ve been linking everything up by hand for 8 weeks now, even the kitchen sink is busted. 800 posts need to be re-catagorized.

Tonight I created the new site, installed the new theme, and started in on the sidebar, so PUMPED. I’ve had the theme picked since the summer, it’s so stunningly simple.  It’ll be a nice crisp white, with classic blue links, and a sidebar even more beautiful than the one on your right.

Since I built KeriBlog in 2010, I’ve learned a lot and this version is going to be much better assembled.

And it’s time to fix my LinkedIn and Facebook, ever seen them? Some of the world’s worst. Made them their own post they’re so bad.

Also, I got more responsibility at work that I’m still getting a handle on, and another little job I haven’t told you about yet, couple other irons… I can’t do all of that well, plus spend the time re-building ‘About Me’ pages and rotating widgets…

… so blabla blog updates are paused for a week, until Tuesday February 12

Things need to be up and running looking good for the 14th, that’s media day at the Canadian International Auto Show.

My Valentine is Cars ha ;;) 

Find me still on Twitter and FaceBook (yes FB, I started slowly using it about 4 weeks ago), email anytime, and thanks for always checking in.

TTYS

Until then, here’s a bunch of my face.

Two different eyes.

 

 

It Was a Quiet Weekend

I haven’t felt like living online these last few days.

Happens. Always passes.

Saturday night looked like this.

Glued out, filtering photos while replaying and reviewing the week in my head. I think that’s important to do.

On Thursday I attended a Breast Cancer fundraiser for the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation.

They’re a class act who do important research and run a tight ship. I’ve been inside plenty, the bell is the best part of the whole place ;).  Please give.

My BFF was the evenings’ keynote speaker, then she heated up the stage in the fashion show.

I said nothing online during her treatment, but too bad missy, I get this one time – your toughness is impressive, you wore cancer better than anyone, and I’m so happy you’re back love you.

Internet, this is my favourite cancer story: deep into her treatment her insurance company calls, they’re all confused; how was she at work this much, if she’s undergoing chemo, radiation and surgery? HA she’s that tough.

On Sunday, this.

It wasn’t until I pulled into the same industrial park that it hit me. Then I got all reflective and pensive.

That’s not my best profile pic is it, let’s change that. Done.  Here is the new one.

Classic Keri.  KeriCDN.

Recent outfits.

Picked up fresh flowers this afternoon.

I’ve kept fresh flowers around, long as I can remember. They make a place a home, and don’t have to cost a lot.

I like carnations actually, they’re colourful, cheap and last 2 weeks.

And that concludes this blog post.

 

 

Took A Little Break from my Blog

Since Saturday.  Sometimes I just like to, sometimes I don’t feel like putting things online, so I don’t.

It always passes and I love it again, which is now.

So Hi!

Some things you missed… I dressed quietly like this, and randomly, was driven a lot.

One of My Top 5 Things to Do Ever – Sit cross-legged eating red candy while being driven around looking at stuff

A fancy BFF dinner.

I could have ordered pasta with squid ink. And look at that top menu item under “Chef’s Play”… sorry for the grainy photo, yes I did.

Went to another Hacks & Hackers event.  There was some ScribbleLive which is sick, that’s a great chat by Allison Martell about statistical data analysis, and remember that photo-incident in the Metro, and how well they handled it? This is Chris telling that story.

I remember that well, it was kinda like a “thing” on Twitter. Twitter was different back then.

There’s a huge conference coming up if you’re into online marketing anything… The Art of Marketing… March 7 at the MTCC.  I’ll tell ya more about it soon, but Guy Kawasaki, Gary Vee, it’s gonna be great.

Found that sword, put in car.

From February 2011

Pretty things from Valentine’s Day.

Which I still think is dumb…………. it just makes a lot of people feel bad.

Next video is likely, “The Trash Couture Photoshoot at an Airbase” (working title), TTYS!
