what Sandra said, according to the Houston Chronicle

In today’s Houston Chronicle story Texas AG: Children need to be protected from Net predators, my one paragraph claim to fame:

The Houston Public Library system has filters on all computers, spokeswoman Sandra Fernandez said, though adults can request that the filter be removed for their sessions.

I’m trying to remember, old person that I feel today, when I became “spokeswoman” and am drawing a blank. Is memory the first thing to go?

do what I say

I’ve spent years helping people get online. I’ve worked on getting small businesses and nonprofits online. I’ve worked closely with my IT group in developing, launching and maintaining online projects.

I didn’t have my own Web site.

I used to have one, back when online journals were all the rage. I used to have one, when I was first learning html and needed a venue to test my newly-acquired skills. I used to have one, once upon a time.

I thought it might be time for a new site.

These days I can quote you chapter and verse on the importance of social networking. I know about the rise of podcasting, the real power of blogs, and the ongoing debate surrounding the best ways to monetize content. I can give you examples of good online communications, ways to improve your message delivery to your clients and why distributed news sources are actually a good thing.
