The Reports Of My Death Have Been Greatly Exagerated

About 2 months ago, I tackled about 7 big projects all at once, the biggest being a move across the country to Raleigh, North Carolina. It has been an interesting ride…
I will be open and honest with you: I almost quite this blog. It may have seemed to so of you as if I HAD [...]

A Lot Has Changed

As I am sure you have noticed by now, there are lots of changes going on here.
We have a new url, a new theme, a new mission, heck, a new name.
I have about 10 posts lined out, but want to make sure there are no hiccups with the new design. I will be testing throughout [...]

Talking ‘Bout A Revolution

Life has a way of changing. It was John Lennon who said that life is what happens while we make other plans, and the older I get, the more I think John was right. As I look back across the winding road that has led me to this point, I see many places [...]

Wendy Goes Prime Time

It is no secret that I am a big fan of Wendy Piersall. Truth is, she just plain rocks.
Well, earlier today she announced the expansion of her emomsathome brand; she has expanded into a full blown media empire, with a total of 7 blogs and 9 authors all under the emomsathome umbrella.
From her announcement:

Blogging Victory (sorta)

Yes, I know I said I was done worrying about stats and from now on I was just going to crank out good content and let things fall where they may. That is still the case, but you do like some external validation when it happens.
Way back on May 25th, I wrote that my goal [...]

Just a note…

…to say thanks for all the votes of support and confidence you have all sent me. I am fine, just working my tail off on quite a few projects. I have some big announcements coming up, so stay tuned.
See all ya’ll later in the week.

True Blogger Confessions, and the Way Forward

Over the last two weeks I have taken a break from this blog to examine my options, to decide the direction I want to take, to see where I want to go with it. I was not happy with where I was and I did not know what to do about it.
In the past, I [...]

Matt on The Cost Of Freedom

Over on Matt’s Blog, he wrote an incredible response to a question about people removing attribution links. It is one of the most powerful explanations of the power of open source I have ever seen.
Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the [...]

Congrats To A Dear Friend

The first person I ever knew with a blog was a travel writer named Jen Leo. She had just edited an award winning collection of short stories about women’s travel misadventures called Sand In My Bra (it is a very funny book) and she was on a tour of the country doing book signings. By some [...]

Hoping to Make Blogging Fun Again

Ahhh, the pressure of blogging. It all starts innocently enough. You write a few posts, submit to a few blog carnivals, get picked up by a few mid list bloggers… the next thing you know, 4-500 people a day are stopping by to read your stuff, you have folks subscribing to your feeds, people emailing [...]
