Martha Stewart Would Be Proud

It is true some of us are born to be crafty and some of us aren't.

And by "crafty," I am not talking about Jedi mind tricks.

Rather, I'm talking about knowing what to do with oneself in a craft store.

Or in a garage.

Or a kitchen.

Or anywhere else one can come up with an idea (and materials) to make nifty things.

I can't do that. Seriously, I didn't get my dad's green thumb knack for gardening, my mother's knack for home improvement projects or my grandmother's knack for making everything homemade.

But our good artist friend Vickie did - as evident by this picture of the door she JUST made for her outdoor shed this past weekend.

Martha Stewart would indeed be proud.

Snarky Barky Malarkey: Twitter's Detractors

I have to laugh at this article today from MSNBC.com's Technotica, essentially slamming the world's recent obsession with Twitter. I seem to vaguely recall everyone bagging on blogging when it first stormed onto the scene, too.

Yes, okay, so Twitter is the current buzz of the social networking webiverse.

Yes, okay, it makes MySpace looks old school.

Yes, okay, Facebook may - and I emphasize - may be getting nervous and is trying to overhaul itself to compete and win the webiverse buzz back (seriously, Facebook does NOT need to worry).

And yes, there is a lot of useless twitter on Twitter - just like with any other social networking site.

However, there are a ton of reasons why Twitter works well, especially in an environment like the one here at Love Da Pawz - a new company, trying to spread the good word about its brand to as many pet lovin' folks as possible.

I have it on good authority Pawz is getting to know lots of good folks via Twitter - individuals, businesses, activists.

So how can that be a bad thing?

Keep Twittering.

Ignore the snarky barky malarky.

Let the BlogTails Begin

Hi-ho.

Woof-woof.

Meow.

Welcome to the first official post of BlogTails, the new blog from Love Da Pawz.

Now, it should be said I normally do TV blogging over in a little corner of the independent television blogosphere we call Pass The Remote, writing lotsa motsa stuff for those of us who have this unfortunate habit of watching way too much TV.

But, I know the good folks here at Love Da Pawz, and they've asked me to ... well, blog.

About all-things Love Da Pawz.

What they're about.

Why they are pretty darn cool.

And why you might want to join in on some Love Da Pawz goodness.

If you haven't heard as yet, the Pawz folks are in the business of making some nifty clothing for the pet lovers of the world.

Make that "conscientious" pet lovers.

What does that mean?

Well, when you buy their goodies, a portion of their proceeds go back to organizations that promote the health and wellness of animals - like the Best Friends Animal Society, and the spcaLA.

How cool is that?

Cool by me, considering we all do tend to pay a lot more attention to our purchases these days.

Especially when you can feel good in AND about the stuff you wear.

So check out their Web site.

Stop by their online store.

And stay tuned for more blog fun.
