About four years ago, I got fed up with the way #FollowFriday was done on Twitter and decided to highlight just one person each Friday. If you spend time on Twitter, you know what I’m talking about.

Our office is officially closed today, but I am taking a writing vacation in exactly nine days so have lots to do! Yes, it’s true. I will be away from here for two whole weeks! But it means I’m taking advantage to most people being off today and getting some work done. That means you get the regularly scheduled Gin and Topics. I didn’t really want ... Read More

I feel like the entire world has been off the last two weeks. Not that I mind – it’s a lot easier to get work accomplished when you’re all running around Disney World with your kids. But I thought, rather than introduce you to someone new today and risk your missing it while you’re on vacation, I’d do a roundup of all of the #FollowFriday recommendations ... Read More

Facebook updates never seem to end. We all cry and moan every time they make changes, but then settle into what’s new like a kid at Christmas. Fair warning: Facebook is at it again. This time they are messing with the news feed. At a big media event earlier this month they launched content-specific feeds for photos, music, and more. According to TechCrunch, the new feeds are ...

Patti Knight and I have been joking all week about spring. On the first day of spring, it was zero degrees in Chicago. Yesterday it was five. Today it is 17. We’re getting closer! My friend Ces Guerra posted this on my Facebook wall last night: LOL! It’s so true. Mr. D’s birthday is on April 27 and 90 percent of the time it snows ... Read More

Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce you to one Ms. Amber-Lee Dibble. Not your typical Spin Sucks reader, Amber-Lee runs Pioneer Outfitters in Alaska. She manages and is a big game guide (which means she hunts and shoots animals much, much larger than she) for the wilderness excursion company and has been for 20 years. But she didn’t grow up in Alaska; she grew ... Read More
