A-har mateys!

If you're reading this on September 19th (which, incidentally, is my half-birthday), you might notice that my whole website has been auto-magically translated into pirate talk.

How, you might wonder? And why?

Well, the why is because it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day. And the how is thanks to Richard, one of my beloved Bryght Boys, who wrote a module for Drupal that makes it happen. God Bless Richard. (How many times have I said that? Really. Richard is the man who answers all the support questions at Bryght. Richard rocks.) (Also shouts out for walkah, who installed said module onto the site tonight. walkah wocks too.)

I actually have a great story about last year's Talk Like a Pirate Day, when I was preparing for Web of Change (which starts on Wednesday!) and needed biographies from everyone, and hadn't had one from Kris yet. And so went to Bryght.com looking for it... and found all the bios in pirate-speak... and thought it was just Bryght trying to be all hip and cool and write their bios like they were too cool for school. I didn't actually figure out what had happened until months later... and by then I knew that yes, the Bryght Boys really are that kind of cool, but no, for 364 days a year their bios are in normal English. Ha.

So anyway. Have a spin through the archives! Things are sure to be entertaining. :)

About this Site

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
