Blog Tag and Oversharing

Hey, bloggers are playing tag and I’ve been hit by Angela Mackenzie of Honey Flower so now I’m playing by the rules and passing it on because I too want to feature some folks and overshare.

Here are the rules of Blog Tag:

*************************************************************************
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
**************************************************************************

5 facts:

1. My desk is an utter mess, and I kind of like it that way.
2. I wrote a book called No One Knows Everything. It’s being published by a European open access publisher early next year so you might actually see it in book stores, but you can read it here: Risa Dickens - No One Knows Everything - PDF
3. I like to wear clothing that triggers conversation, and I wear some things way too much right after acquiring them because I have garment love, I can’t help it.
4. I mostly work on Indyish from home in my pajamas sitting back to back with Elran. We joke that it feels more like head to head.
5. I am a rabid multi-tasker and one of the few things that gets me angry (typically in a soft-spoken and likely unthreatening way) is wasted time.

Blogs I’d like to feature (but I understand if they don’t have time):

1. Mashable. A huge blog and resource on on social networks that Elran introduced me to, makes a good browse always and is doing something for the comments that’s interesting and funny given we’re in the midst of this conversation.
2. Quirky Australian Prof’s perspective on Social Networking, just found it the other day: http://silkcharm.blogspot.com/ I don’t always agree but she sure makes a great read.
3. Unrestrained and lovely music writing: Said The Gramophone
4. Dave’s new blog - Cool’s Corner - his mission is not to destroy record labels, but to help musicians see other ways of having a music career. He’s eye-opening, empowering and believes small is beautiful I think, but in a really ambitious change-the-world way. And I feel that.
5. The new Worn blog - Coco’s Blog. She just started but I love how she writes about clothes. I’ve learned a lot from working with this writer on Worn.

Ok! Honey Flower also tagged the Team, so watch for something from them maybe coming soon. Games ahoy!
