gater snacks
26 Jan
Just what you’ve always wanted, right? Right! The {new!} weekly round-up of some of the yummy snackages I’ve discovered around the web. Have a click.
- {Blog love} – Walk Talk Chew Gum
Y’know when someone starts a project and they hit the ground running at light speed? I introduce you to Sara Davidson, a whip-smart woman who just started her blog and, well, just go check it out. “Just Stop Faking it Already!” speaks to authenticity in marketing and the social web, as well as self-honesty. It’s gold. I am looking forward to more of Sara’s projects and writing. [And when she and I get to meet IRL, I have a sneaking suspicion we're going to be BFFs Foreva.]
- {Behold the power of the Internet} – Love Harder
I unabashedly believe the social web is a supportive, idea-rich and ripe social sphere…one that is capable of amazing friendship and compassion. And the social web came together to support Brandy and her man and the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. Read this first, go check out the video put together by some awesome (and funny!) bloggers, and send some positive thoughts (or $5 to MMRF!) to Brandy and her man.
- {Project} – FAILweek on The Think (here) Blog
Jason Markow is working on some good stuff in entrepreneurship and challenging the status quo. I’ve been fortunate to connect with him and I’m going to be participating next week in FAILweek: writing about failure, sharing on Twitter, reading others’ stories and opening a dialogue about what it means to fail. In a good way. :) If you have a [failure] story to share, I suggest you do the same. From Jason’s FAILweek project:“The first week of February is ‘#FAILweek‘ where entrepreneurs and bloggers of all industries, experience levels, and from every corner of the globe come together to celebrate their past failures.”
- {Photograph} – Walls (via Bear)
Yes, yes indeed.
- {Tune} – Sacrifice from The Roots
This is a long-time favorite song of mine…and one I’ve been listening to quite a bit lately. Good message.
OOH YAY! I love this new weekly concept. Cute tagline for it too<3
THANKS honey! I was completely inspired by TILT and (now) {Link Bytes} on your delicious site. ^_^
Awesome feature! Thanks for pointing out all the awesome :)
No YOU’RE awesome.
cute feature! great links too! i hope i make time to read them all!
I know you’re one bizzy lady…There’s some good stuff here, hope you get to enjoy/peruse it as much as I have. :)
Snaaaaaaaaaaaacks!
Nice list, lovely!
I figured you might like the name! ;) Thanks so much, Redhead!
Love, love, love this! A weekly dose of awesome by Ms. Awesome herself. Woot! <3
Oh Sarah — thank you!! I hope the links I share are fun, useful & enlightening. :)
I love lists. I always have Friday Linky Love (now a year and going strong) but I really like how you incorporate music, ideas, photography and blog posts. Loves it. Yummy snack!
Grace, thank you so much!
I adore lists, as well. I was inspired by your Friday Linky Love (which I totally <3), Liz Franco’s Link Bytes, and Matt Chevy’s Friday Quick Hits. While Twitter is a great feed for finding new blogs/music/etc., discovering the links that are hand-picked by people I respect is always SO much more fun. Thank YOU for being part of the inspiration!
I’m with Grace. I love that you incorporate other things in addition to just blog posts into your “Gator Snacks.” There’s something to be said in our fast moving worlds for people who can consolidate good stuff and point us in that direction. Thanks Cali!
Ryan – thank you very much for stopping by. I suppose I’ve already stated it in my reply to Grace above, but I completely agree with you that it’s such a treat when friends/cohorts/fellow-bloggers point you in new directions. Such is the “web”! :)
