Just a quick post to tell you about my favorite new widget… Love my Skribit.So what’s a Skribit?It’s the cool little box over there -> -> -> ->Right on the right sidebar -> -> ->Scroll down a bit moreYou see it?Now ain’t that cool?You get to tell me what you want me to write about.Ask me a question… Any question..urrrh… maybe not any question, but anything of the PG nature.You even get to vote on what others suggest.Now for part two of my Skribit love fest.

Check out my Cool Google Friend Connect BarI love having this widget at the very bottom… kind of like the Facebook bar. Very easy to use and doesn’t clutter up my page.If you’re not familiar with Google Friend Connect and it’s many benefits, it’s a great way to make your site more interactive. Friends can recommend you to their friends and comment directly in the bar or even add video. Way cool, and a great way to keep up with your favorite sites. Stop by Google Friend Connect for more great features and benefits.So how do you get this cool friend connect thingy on your site?

The Lies we tellToday, March 20th 2009, is my 54th birthday… WhooHoo for me!That’s my real age…. Once upon a time, I use to lie about my age.When I was 21, I told everyone I was 30. I did it because no one would take me seriously in business as a 21 year old blond with big boobs.When I was 30, I told everyone I was 40. I did it because I was so burned out from my wild 20′s, I felt old. Everyone said.. “You look fabulous for 40″.When I was 40, I was so miserable I didn’t tell anyone it was my birthday.

The St Patrick’s Day Bailout – Karen Kramer StyleI must admit, I am way behind on all this news stuff, but I’m trying hard to understand all these bailouts…. so after much consideration I asked a couple of my Twitter friends, Eric Gehler (@bigebiz), Alexander Alaric (@alexander13) and Gabriella Parker (@GabriellaParker) to help me put together a quick video of what all this here bailout stuff is really about.

Sorry Ed Dale… I should have ListenedI should have listened.You have never steered me wrong in the past.I thought I knew better.I was afraid of others calling me names or getting mad at me.I was wrong…. You were RIGHT.Now here I am desperately trying to follow 1006 people on Twitter, while 1144 try to follow me back.Meanwhile, I’m living with a dark secret.  By using Tweetdeck, I am actually blocking 1044 of those followers.  I never see any of their tweets.  Oh the shame of it.  I am a true Twitter Snob but what’s worse is… I pretend to be so nice and caring.
