Keeping busy as usual. My Quick and Dirty podcast name has changed from Small Biz Tech Girl to The Digital Marketer. And check out my twice weekly blog posts on Web Worker Daily and Entrepreneur Mom on WorkitMom.com.

Oh, and moving to Tok, Alaska in December. You will be able to follow my life in rural Alaska at my new Living In Tok blog.

Keeping my ear to the ground and fingers on the keyboard!
