Robyn dancing her way to a nom!: It’s pretty damn criminal how overlooked Robyn’s sensational Body Talk albums have been, but FINALLY, some vindication for one of the album’s best tracks — and one of the best pop songs of the year — “Dancing On My Own.” Robyn has some stiff competition as she vies for Best Dance Recording against Lady Gaga, Rihanna, La Roux, and Goldfrapp, but a nomination is a good reason to hit the club for an all-out ass-shaking celebration. The Lows: No Christina Aguilera!? You truly lost me!: So Bionic wasn’t Christina Aguilera’s best work and it disappeared from the charts faster than a slice of cake from a fat man’s plate but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t at least a few Grammy-worthy gems on the album.

Yet another fine article on the subject came from jaimeclewis on Higher Highs, Lower Lows posted earlier today, entitled A whole new method for stalking people on the internet. « Higher … which is also definitely worth a look!
So many of us perform widely varying roles from day to day. For instance, I’m a wife/mom first, but I also write about food/wine/beer/travel, volunteer in my community and keep this blog for your reading pleasure. Sometimes I wish I had a digital business card that encapsulated all my different roles into one place. Enter About.me, a new service I learned of from Maggie Mason at Mightygirl.com.

” Whatever. I think of my About.me page as my home page, where ANYone who has ANY reason to work with me in ANY capacity can find me. Here, have a look. What’s this “digital business card” good for, you ask? Well, I plan to add it to my e-mail signature first. Then I’ll post it to my Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages. And THEN, I’ll paint the URL on the side of our house.
