Another Child Out In The World

Well, I built a computer today for a client. It is an amazing system with a lot of good stuff in it and it will serve them well. It is like giving a painless birth (if you don't count the cuts on my knuckles). I have created something that will live out there and provide years of service without too many problems...parts wear out, you know.

I build the system, teach it what it can do, give it some tools and then sent it on its way. I am a father in a way. Scary, but true in a bizarre, science fiction kind of way.

But, the thing is, now I feel un well. I came home and didn't feel too hot. It was like I picked something up in my travels. Anyway, off too bed.

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses  - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.  

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

podcasting

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.

events

I do a little traveling here and there for technology conferences and what not. Here are the ones I am going to next or have attended recently.
