I’m definitely thinking of resdesigning in the near’ish future, but what about renaming? I’ve been nycgadgetgirl for such a long time, but these days I mostly post about dogs. “Gadget Girl” doesn’t necessarily suit me any more, although the history of how I got the name is still meaningful to me. The fact that I’m [click to continue reading...]

1. I love springtime in New York… NOT! 2. Chocolate chip cookies w/coffee, lox & onion omelette with cream cheese, or Challah bread French toast are foods I love to eat for breakfast. 3. It seems I’m always searching for more time in the day. 4. SLEEPING is a great way to end the day. [click to continue reading...]
Hello everyone… I’ve recently transferred my site to a different server and made huge version jump in WordPress, so I’m pretty sure my feeds have changed. If you read me through a feed reader and you receive this, please let me know. Thanks!

Therefore, I must promote her newest online presence. She’s moving beyond MySpace and Facebook and she’s BLOGGING. Of course, if you’re over, oh, I dunno, 16, you may not find it very interesting, but I’m promoting it anyway! For those of you who don’t know, She’s actually a pro at this online stuff already. When [click to continue reading...]

1. Snowdrops are annoying. 2. I’m going to build a new kind of canine rescue organization. 3. __(ummm…. I just don’t have an answer for this one)__ is a song whose lyrics have meaning to me. 4. Just one sip and I can’t stop until my McDonald’s chocolate shake is all gone. 5. In the [click to continue reading...]

1. My favorite unexpected event of 2007 was the creation of NYC Shiba Rescue, Inc. 2. I’m most tempted by freshly baked chocolate brownies! 3. Today I want the rain to stop. 4. The last thing I took a picture of was Snickers and Shayna. 5. You and I have memories only of blogging. 6. [click to continue reading...]

1. This year, I’d like to spend more time reading the books piling up in my apartment, figure out a budget I can both afford and live within, and take an actual vacation. 2. Having time to daydream is what I daydream about most. 3. My daughter is a wonderful person. 4. I would like [click to continue reading...]
Follow the link for The Misanthropic Shiba, back when it was still funny as hell.
A few days ago, I logged into Meebo and found this message waiting for me: [12:45] Bibby: Hi, I have been enjoying Snickers Blog for a while. I have a Black and Tan Shiba called Lily, she is 5 months old and we just started puppy classes. Shibas are a new breed to me, I [click to continue reading...]
Check out the box in the sidebar… to the right and down a bit. The gray box that says “chat with me.” YES, that one! Well, what are you waiting for? If it says I’m online, then SAY HELLO!!!
Well, I was planning on coming up with a whole new template, but it just seemed easier to sort of graft the old stylesheet onto WordPress and be done with it. I’m about half done. Give me another day or so and things might be looking good.
Well, as you can see, my blog LOOKS horrible. <sigh> However, looks can be deceiving. I actually was able to get into the old Movable Type installation on the server that blew up and export the old blog. I spent the better part of today configuring a new installation of WordPress (over and over and [click to continue reading...]
This blog is two years old today. I posted two entries on August 11, 2004. One was a picture of Snickers (of course). It was titled What A Handsome Puppy and I was so happy to get a comment on my first post! The second was A Few Other Photos From Saturday and two people [click to continue reading...]
I want to be able to write while I walk. Seriously. Almost every morning on the walk to work, I think of something I want to write about. It’s a 10 to 15 minute walk. I could get a lot of writing done if I could actually walk and write. I’ve joked for years about [click to continue reading...]
After commenting over at Janet’s a few days ago that I’d fallen way behind on my blog reading lately, she wrote me back and just said “it’s called life ” Well, she’s right. Perusing my own blog tonight, I realized that I haven’t had much to say lately and when I have, it hasn’t been [click to continue reading...]
If my blog had background sounds, that’s what you would hear every time you’ve checked here for the past week… busy signals. I had a very emotional Saturday/Sunday/Monday last weekend and a few days of introspection after that. Yesterday and today? TOTALLY BUSY. Tomorrow I have a little down time though. I wrote a LOT [click to continue reading...]
I’ve been afraid to post anything new today because I don’t want to take away from the fabulous discussion that’s been going on in my last post. Therefore, here’s a quickie… 1) Gravatars are cool. Everyone should go get one. 2) Now go read my last post and add your two cents if you haven’t [click to continue reading...]
some of my favorite bloggers write so much that I can’t keep up in the little bit of time I have to read. I end up staying up-to-date on the short blogs and never having time for the meaty ones! I have a BAJILLION drafts where I thought of a great post while I was [click to continue reading...]
I’m just busy, busy, busy these days! I hope I’ll still have some readers when I get back to blogging more than random comments and links. Speaking of links, wanna see a CUTE Shiba Inu? Check out Kishi’s Run for the Money, his siblings and his other pack members.
I think I’m about to take another self-imposed hiatus from the blogworld… at least for a few days. I haven’t been able to keep up with reading my favorite blogs, which drives me crazy. So… I’m going to spend the next few days trying to catch up on my client work (again) and my apartment [click to continue reading...]
I know, I know. You don’t have to tell me. OK, no, I really don’t know. But I’m guessing. Some of you that have been reading me for awhile probably think I jumped the shark sometime in the past couple months. I hope you’re wrong. (Or I hope I’m wrong that you’re thinking that and [click to continue reading...]
I created a Gravatar for myself TEN DAYS ago and added the code to my site to show gravatars for commenters, but I am STILL waiting for my image to be rated/approved. I am annoyed, annoyed, and more annoyed. Edited 12/31/2005: My gravatar was finally approved today, so I’m not AS annoyed as I was [click to continue reading...]
According to this article that I stumbled across after following a link from Jeru Guru’s blog, it is a “blog mistake” to “not stick to your theme for the majority of the entries in your blog.” I’d guess that, other than that, I pretty much “follow the rules,” but do there really need to be [click to continue reading...]
Mad props to my friend Beth Benzaquin who created two nifty neato new logos for me… the one you see above this post and also the new one on my business site. Beth and I have worked – and are currently working – on several web development projects together. She also happens to be the [click to continue reading...]
I need to write an "about me" page. I put up the page, but I don’t have anything on it yet! Any questions? Suggestions? Help! PS Any comments about the shifting format and navigation would be welcome also.
Just happened to notice that my blog is one year old today.
Really, it hasn’t. More to come.
