About Me

I am considered a big girl-geek. I love anything Web 2.0 related with blogging, video podcasting, and web design. I'm a little bit of a Apple Mac snob and spend a lot of time using my Macbook Pro, editing videos, downloading music and blogging. I work in real estate and property management and have for the last 9 years. But my biggest passion is to do volunteer work for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) as I am a type 1 diabetic desperately seeking a cure and starting a JDRF chapter here in the Ozarks.

Blogs & Web Sites

This is where I keep my personal blogs and web sites.
  • My Personal Blog/Web Site     [ Preview Feed ] - I talk about everything from my daily-grind job, to fundraising for the JDRF, personal rants, Web 2.0 Consulting services, the work I do for others...etc. etc.

  • JDRF Ozarks - In an effort to establish a local chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), I have created and implemented the web/blog site www.under120.com. Is your blood sugar under 120?

  • Twitter Account - This is my Twitter account. I love Twitter. I often put my blood sugar readings into my Twitter account, so if you are going to follow me...then be prepared to get blood sugar readings too.

  • My Flickr     [ Preview Feed ] - This is my Flickr page. I add all of my random photos here.

  • Tumblr - What comes between Blogging & MicroBlogging? Tumblr. I can post all sorts of rants and raves of my life including photos, videos, text, links and audio. I can also have an entourage of followers a la Twitter style.

  • BrightKite - Bright Kite is a little obsessive, unexplainable web addiction. It is very similar to Twitter, showing posts and checkins of where I've been along with photos. And it goes hand-in-hand with Twitter.

  • FriendFeed     [ Preview Feed ] - FriendFeed is the latest craze in knowing what your friends are "up to" online. Combining my Twitter, Facebook updates, YouTube action, blog posts etc. etc...you can see everything all in one spot.

  • GSBOR Transaction Desk Training Blog     [ Preview Feed ] - When the Greater Springfield Board of REALTORS implemented the new Transaction Desk online management software, I have created and implemented a new help desk blog. I maintain this blog that is designated specifically for REALTORS and affiliates that are associated with the GSBOR.


Social Networks

  • Facebook Profile - This is my personal Facebook profile. I like Facebook and I am on there quite often.

  • MySpace Profile - This is my MySpace profile. I originally created it in the Summer of 2006 because the only way you could get the details of my 10 year high school reunion was to be a "friend" of the Glendale High School Class of 1996 reunion's MySpace page. So most of the people on this page are old high school friends...there are a few exceptions. I prefer to be on Facebook, so "friend me" there and not on MySpace....but it's up to you.

  • LinkedIn Profile - I don't "hook up" in my social networking sites, I "link in". So here is my LinkedIn account that I really do only use for networking and business purposes. However, still link me in, even if we are just friends. :)

  • Digg Profile - I Love Digg! I just created a new profile for my own personal stuff. Everything before I had my own personal profile, I had done under Paul Dizmang's profile in an effort to drive traffic to our real estate and property management sites. Just recently have I created my own personal profile here.

  • Stumble Upon - StumbleUpon! My favorite time waster! Here is the link to my Stumble Upon profile.

  • My Inman - Inman News is the "first word in real estate." With all of the latest real estate comings and goings in news (not listings), I am part of a REALTOR community that helps all REALTORS stay on top of their game by networking with their peers and colleagues in the same line of business.


Work Stuff (Dizmang Properties)

This is where I keep all of my links for my work stuff and profiles I have created for work. A lot of this stuff you will see listed as Paul Dizmang's profile. No, I am not a 43 year old male...I'm just the brains behind these profiles. I have created and maintained them. Yes, that includes his web site too!
  • Dizmang Properties Web Site - This is the real estate and property management web site that I have created and maintained since 2001. It is constantly improving.

  • Dizmang Properties Blog     [ Preview Feed ] - This blog, named "(417) Dwellings!" is the company blog. I am the main writer for this blog, but Paul Dizmang (my boss) also contributes to it.

  • My Personal Work Blog for Dizmang Properties     [ Preview Feed ] - "I Love Rentals" is my personal work blog where I write about my job in real estate and property management. Even though it says that I Love Rentals...I've had some crazy days and sometimes you'll find a rant post on this blog, but what job doesn't have it's ups and downs? ;)

  • Dizmang Properties MySpace Page - This is a MySpace page for all followers of (417) Dwellings video podcast.

Other Sites I've Contributed To

This is all of the sites that I have been a part of, I may not have created them, but I have made some big contributions to them. These are all of the sites that are besides the ones I have done for Dizmang Properties.
  • Late Nite Lawyer - Will Worsham is a good friend of mine who is an attorney here in Springfield. Together, we have produced a video podcast series where Will answers viewers e-mails submitted to the web site www.latenitelawyer.com and then he answers them from a nightclub in video.

  • YouTube-Late Nite Lawyer - This is the YouTube account that I set up for Will Worsham as Late Nite Lawyer for the video podcast that he acts in and I produce. See the web site www.latenitelawyer.com.

  • Jake's Life - My 7 year old son, Jake, loves to type and has now learned the art of blogging. I helped him set up a TumbleLog, which is a micro-blogging platform that is easy for him to use and type in. Remember, he is only 7 and still learning!

  • SOS Marriage Care - My parents (Roger & Denise Friesen) have founded a marriage and family ministry that is tightly knit with their church in Omaha, Nebraska. I have created this blog site for their ministry and help them maintain it.
