I'm the digital editor/social media for The Des Moines Register, mainly managing our efforts on blogs, Twitter and Facebook and managing dmJuice.com, DesMoines.MomsLikeMe.com and DesMoinesFrugal.com. When I'm not doing that, I'm getting my master's. Or bartending. Depends on my mood.
You can also find me at twitter.com/Cavan.
At least when it comes to graduate school work. After years lamenting the closing of the coffee shop down the street from my house, I'm trying to spend a few hours after work at Amici Espresso downtown to study.
My favorite part? The signs promoting their Twitter, Facebook and MySpace pages. Companies that incorporate these into their traditional marketing messages make me happy.
Watching this generate was a lot of fun, although I'm not sure how some of these words sneaked in there. I'm hoping it was a mix of tweeting breaking news for The Des Moines Register and the sentence "I know absolutely nothing about sports."
The idea: This shows you how the Internet sees you. It's part of the Metropath(ologies) exhibit, currently on display at the MIT Museum by the Sociable Media Group from the MIT Media Lab.

I created a card.ly account today to put all the social media communities I work with (almost) in one spot. It's a mix of my own accounts as well as the products I work on for The Des Moines Register. Here's my card.
Have you set up a card.ly page?

You can't ask for a better senior photo than that. This is Leslie Hall, a musician who can pull off the neckbrace/tiara look with ease, even in high school.

Why, yes, that is how great my high school hairdo was. Don't be jealous.
This is part of a contest we kicked off today to get readers to share their senior photos with us. The person with the most votes gets a mini high school reunion, complete with a Bud Light keg and bottles of Boone's Farm.

Ed Helms is going to make Iowa cool again. I mean cooler. He's starring in "Cedar Rapids," which Alexander Payne (who has filmed several of his movies in Omaha) is producing.

If I had to make a list of products not to try, I bet a gin martini in a can would be really high on it.
