I have not been using an RSS reader for months. Lately I have been trying to look at my NetNewsWire again, but there are a couple of things that frustrate me.
The first is that it is not easy for me to share items. I used to be able to clip them, but now that NNW [...]
Remember the good old days when you had something to say and you wrote a blog post? If it was a topic you were really hot on it might end up being a few posts. The very act of writing the post would help you form opinions and thoughts. If you were lucky it [...]
I have been neglecting my blog. With more and more web conversation taking place outside of the “blogosphere”, it is a refrain I am hearing from more and more people. The thing is, people seem to be bummed that their blogs are going neglected. I am thinking this is going to result in a resurgence [...]
I have been invited to a meeting about the Netroots in Nashville tonight. I feel honored to be invited and am looking forward to going. The thing is, and this is a little embarrassing to admit, I don’t really know what “Netroots” is.

Sabrina and I packed up the kids on a whim last night and are in Atlanta. It is going to be a long time before we can take a vacation, but getting away for a night is a nice change of pace.
Lately I have [...]
Man. jaxn.org has been stopped up worse than an AARP Founders Day without prune juice punch. Sometimes you just gotta get things flowing anyway you can. The only way I am able to do this sometimes is with a little verbal diarrhea. Think of this as a laxative post if you will. Hopefully it wasn’t [...]
I just saw a great byline quote in an article in this months Entrepreneur magazine:
“Numbers that are tracked and watched are numbers that grow.”
Personally I believe a key to successful business is knowing which numbers to track and watch. Then again, I also tend to believe that you can spot most problems in those numbers [...]
At the beginning of the year I predicted that 2008 would be the year of the editor. In that post I said:
