I’ve always written about that which was currently going on in my life. It’s easy to tap into that source and come up with plenty to talk about, it got me through my first two years of blogging, but now… now I’m stuck. What if what’s going on in my life isn’t something that needs [...]
That’s right, I hereby declare this day, June 17th, “National Thank Your Commenter Day.” You guys are basically the life force that keep me blogging, carrying on the conversation to a level that I cannot do alone, you guys make my blog worth reading. Often times we don’t think about the commenting section as the [...]
It appears that blogger/podcaster Josh Brown has all but entirely given up on Web 2.0.

I feel the need to apologize here. It was my intention from the start to avoid using advertisers on the blog, but I gave in today. A bit of history: About a month and a half ago, I was on the verge of shutting down the blog. I didn’t quite feel like I was bringing [...]
