A-Listers Here I Come!

My name is Diane Ensey and I am excited to be taking over AListReview for Know More Media. 

Background
A life-long resident of the Pacific Northwest, I graduated from The Evergreen State College with a B.A. in Liberal Arts. While my research paper “Machismo as a Factor in the Cause of the Crimean War” was well received by at least my advisor, my journalism instructors suggested I shouldn’t count on writing for a living. Because my specialization in Victorian history and literature failed to impress would-be employers, I went on to study and then work as a Paralegal in the Tri Cities, finally ending up in the corporate world as a controller.  After fifteen years of being a loyal employee I cut loose, becoming a fun-loving, risk-taking entrepreneur.

I run two businesses – my business administrative consulting firm, Digitalgybe LLC, and an online journal for Virtual Assistants called VA Journal and also write as Washington Bureau Chief for the MicroEnterprise Journal.  My husband and I live in Yakima, home of the 2006 CBA Champion Sun Kings, some of the best flyfishing water in the nation and the heart of Washington wine country. 

AListReview
At heart I am both a techie and a news junkie.  The two aren’t really that different – they both are interested in minutiae that “normal” folks roll their eyes at.  I hope to translate that minutiae into language that most people can understand.  

I also enjoy pulling back from issues to look at all sides from a distance.  The “A” List is full of bloggers with decided opinions (Oh Really?).  By comparing all the opinions and chatter on an object I hope to present you with interesting takes on the current “buzz”.

It won’t be boring!  While not as snarky as Wonkette, opinionated as Winer, or introspective as Scoble, my own point of view will be on display for your comments - adoring, disparaging or anything in between.  Feel free.  I can take it. (Do you hear ominous music?)  

The Beginning
From business to tech, politics to movies, the A List covers it all and so will AListReview.  So hold on folks, it is going to be a wild ride!

Update as of June 20, 2006
This month I resigned as WA bureau chief for MicroEnterprise Journal.  It required much more time than I was able to devote to it.  In the meantime, I began blogging for another KMM blog - DoRealTime - which covers business collaboration applications and ways businesses can work together in real time.

I love this blog already! I'm excited for you, Diane. Welcome to Know More Media.

I hope to finish my master's thesis in Latin American history next spring. Reading about your experiences reminds me that no matter what others may say, I can make it as a writer if I'm determined enough.

That's right, Easton. Just slog your way through 18 years as a corporate wonk and you too can gain the cynical nature (and capacity for drink) so necessary to the professional writer. ;-)

Hi Diane,
A warm hello to you.

Diane, welcome to the team. I love your posts! With you at the helm, I know this blog will be a great place for all things A-List.

Hi Diane. Am looking forward to reading your entries. Should be interesting for all of us :-)

Welcome to the KMM family.

Welcome Diane,

Anyone that has the cool to mention flyfishing in a business blog has got to be alright! Welcome to the team. I know you will be a great addition to KMM.

Steve (the flyfisher)

Thanks so much everyone! Hey Steve - where do you fish?

Welcome, Diane! Whenever you're on my side of the mountains (Tacky-oma area), let me know. I know a great pizza joint that is hoppin' on Saturday nights. We can indulge said "capacity for drink" like good lil writer bees.

Hello Diane! Welcome to the network! Love your posts and keep it coming! Cheers!
