Welcome to my Web site

Hi,

I use this site to host my resume as well as links to my social media presence and blogs. I update this when I can but at present I am not doing much blogging. If you are interested in more about me professionally, check out my resume or shoot me an email.

Thanks,
Kate

One for the Archives

It's been another exciting year for the internet. From Google: 1.2 trillion searches. 146 languages. What did the world search for in 2012?

My personal YouTube favorite of 2012...

Check out the complete list of videos from the Internet Cat Film Festival when you have lots of hours to kill laughing at cats. 

Lastly, 2012 will also remember Gotye as one of the most parodied groups of the year.  Here is "Somebody that I used to Know" done up right...

Inspiration

iWeb to Blogger

It wasn't the greatest but I did like iWeb. Unfortunately with the death of Mobile Me, I found myself offline for a while so I will relocate myself to Blogger.

Pros: It's much easier to update, it comes free with my free Google account, I also run my other blog using Blogger.

Cons: It's just not as pretty as what I could do with iWeb. Doesn't graphic design always get the back seat ?!

Google+

Today I activated my work Google+ account, which led me on a quest to clean up my internet presence. To date, January 28 2012, I have a linkedin account, a personal website, facebook and twitter, a few blogs, and now TWO google+ profiles.

For whatever reason, google insists that my apps for education profile remain separate from my google profile. In theory, I get it...if I leave this job, I still want my personal profile to fall back on. But in practice, it's crazy to think one can successfully manage two accounts at the same. The worse part is that both of my accounts now appear in everyone's search results. So who do you choose? It's like Google wants me to pick "professional photo with fancy business person tag line" for one and "drunken beach photo with hangover advice tag line" for the other, so that the ENTIRE college community that I work for can know which instance of me to encircle.

Anyways, I am now on Google+ twice and I will continue to streamline my internet presence making it easy to find what you need and even easier for me to maintain. Use this page as a launch pad to my other blogs, websites, and internet personas.
