In the spirit of getting ready for Blogher (yes I'm probably the only guy going that doesn't blog about being a dad), and IzeaFest, I've decided to freshen up my look, and get some new business cards designed. And thanks to the marvelous workings of my Twitter friend Jeff Peak (you can follow him here), I have a new design, that truly stands out from most other business cards.  I, of course, made a few minor text changes myself. Your Thought...

You may have noticed that I've been no where to be found for the past 2 weeks. I've not been on any social media sites, there's been no blog posts, no commenting, etc. It's not because I've given up on anything... because I haven't. It's because I'm trying to expand by getting smaller.  Or more like, going local. The Results Of A Split Personality It seems I have two passions in life when it comes to what I want to blog about. Mak...

Most of you know that my wife is pregnant with our second child, and while many people look at this as an exciting time, myself included, there are some expecting mothers who aren't so happy with having gotten pregnant in the first place. These expecting mothers often-times turn to abortion.  Some get depressed about being pregnant and turn toward drugs or even suicide.  And even some who are excited about having a new baby, may be in a toug...

Social media has played a major role in the 2008 presidential elections, but it hasn't just stopped there. Today, Inauguration Day 2009, as we watch CNN, we are met with yet another social media tool. Facebook is helping to play a role this year by giving people all over the world the chance to talk about the inauguration as it's streamed live. Twitter is also playing a big role in the elections.  It plays such a large role that users a...

Blogging is my business, and when you're trying to run a business it always helps when you can have every tool you need right at your fingertips. It's for this very reason, I sat down yesterday and created what I call "My Digital Dashboard". It's almost like having your own personal secretary to run and get things for you when you need it. I tried using bookmarking websites, the bookmarks toolbar in firefox, and many other tools, but nothi...

I've started writing already and have a general outline of the topics I want to cover.  And here's where you come in. Your Role In My Book I'm not interested in writing a...

Wordpress 2.7 has been officially released to the public since late last night or early this morning. Just like with any other upgrade I was a bit hesitant in fear that it would mess something up with my theme or plugins.  Especially since there was a database upgrade. But through gritted teeth and crossed fingers, I clicked upgrade using my Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin, and slowly stepped through the process. Everything, just...
