Where’s Erika?
Greetings and Salutations!
Chances are, you landed here by viewing my profile on Twitter because of a recent tweet or because I’m following you and you decided to check out my profile when you got the e-mail notification that you’re being followed. Of course, the other option, is that you got here because of a recent blog post and decided to check out the little tabs at the top of the page. Either way, thank you for visiting.
Lately, I’ve been blogging compulsively, so you may have seen a lot of tweets. I also have another blog: The Editor’s Blog, which is the companion blog to theWAHMmagazine, the only content-driven digital magazine for work-at-home parents that I publish. Aside from being a publisher of a bi-monthly digital edition, I’m also a freelance writer/blogger and editor. I run Red Pencil Editing Services, of which theWAHMmagazine is a subsidiary and my third book will be out soon. I’m also the host of the Cyber Savvy Show at Passionate Internet Voices Talk Radio, which airs Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Please note though, that the live show will be on hiatus for the summer, as it’s election season and I happen to be a political wife. Not just politically active and involved, but committed — my husband’s running for public office for a higher seat than he currently has. But you can listen to the archived podcasts of previous shows, and I’ll be back on the air in the fall. And I started the Digital Editions group at MediaPost.
I’m also a mom — a WAHM, to be specific, and I’m dedicated to helping other WAHMs (and WAHDs), hence the reason for publishing theWAHMmagazine. I tend to be in the writing/editing, parenting and WAHM-related circles when it comes to social media and networking. I think of Twitter as a great combination of both. I think that Twitter’s a pretty nifty thing. So please, stick around, check out my blogs, and if you decide to follow me on Twitter, please send me an @emsgeiss message to say “hi,” and introduce yourself. Looking forward to meeting you. Oh, and if you see me around the Web, I either go by egeiss or emsgeiss when I’m using my name and wahmwordsmith or wordsmith when using a “handle.”

Hi!
My name is Tristha Ramamurthy. I’m a student at Stanford University, and I’m working with a team that’s trying to help families to incorporate eco-conscious computing into their lives. One of the things we’ve heard from many parents is that while they work really hard to get their kids to turn off the lights and not leave the water running, they often have a lot of trouble instilling the same behavior on the computer. This not only has big impacts for wasted electricity (thus, utility bills and the planet), but also means that many kids are missing out on a chance to learn a simple, responsible task of shutting down the computer.
Our team is trying hard to do something about this. We’ve recently developed a tool that greatly simplifies the process of shutting down a computer in an easy format for children- all it takes is one click on the sleepy moon! It is still in its early phases, but we think it’s got a lot of promise.
If you think your readers might be interested, the site is http://www.turnofftool.com. We’ve got some information there…let me know if it looks like a good match for your readers, and I’d be happy to answer any questions.
Thanks!
Tristha
