I love blogging. It has literally changed my life. It has changed the way I think, work, communicate and live. I’ve said it before but even if no one was reading this blog I would still write and publish here. Because of my love of blogging and experimenting with the tools that are out there, I was [...]
As I just noted in my last post, a lot of people have, seemingly, fallen out of love with their blogs. After publishing that last post I wanted to expand my thinking. As I’ve been going through the list of people I follow on Twitter looking to see who has blogs that I should be following [...]
I’ve been blogging pretty seriously here for about 6 years (4 on this blog) and it always amazes me which posts take off and which ones don’t. Sometimes I’ll pour my heart into a post and it goes nowhere. Sometimes I write some little off the cuff the post and it blows up. Some of [...]

I’m not super impressed with the numbers but, with the exception of the Book Giveaway, I haven’t given you much reason to fan or [...]
I don’t have a blogroll like many blogs because I think they get stale and are usually filled with the usual suspects. But there are still many great blog out there I want to take the time to recommend. With that intent I plan on spotlighting 3 blogs every month that I think you should [...]
