We All Look The Same

I was downtown today and checking out the bookstores along Fort Street. There are a bunch down there and they have many books that I want. I think I am a book collector but for my own personal reasons. I don't want to sell...I just want to collect. They are just a pain in the ass to move. They are good to have though...I like having another world nearby at any time where I can find myself lost in someone else and their problems or concerns. Sigh. I can't seem to escape mine.

Crumbling Difference Between Wrong and Right

Through a door I hear this world cry quietly and the lock holds me out, not able to do anything but listen to the weeping from the other side.

The Freedom of Working

So, like, here is the deal. I have finished school and I haven't a clue what I am going to do. There seems to be a lot of free time coming my way. My parents, however, have different plans for me. I think I will try and avoid them as much as I can. I think, maybe, it is time for me to move out. I have a couple of friends who are getting married soon...well, in the fall and they are pretty cool to hang out with. I am just not sure what I am going to do. Feeling a little "out there" and I sometimes think I need to be studying. It is like a waking nightmare that crops up here and there. I should be writing an essay or preparing for an exam! Ergh! So, I should find a job. Should I? Prob'ly.

About Me

Shane Birley is a blogger, huge geeky nerd, web developer, poet, and creative writer based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He is a partner at Left Right Minds, a web development, arts management, business blogging and on line marketing company.

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.
