The Police

I went to The Police concert tonight at GM Place and had a great time. I often wondered if I really like concerts. I enjoy music and enjoy watching it performed in some kind of intimate setting like a coffee shop or pub - but huge concerts like that just are not my thing. I feel somewhat like a dork because I should be feeling like I shared something with people or with the band or something.

Ah, whatever my brain says, it doesn't take away that the performance was great. Two encores, listening to music I really like - it was worth it.

Of course, the people I went with are awesome but I felt bad that I wasn't fully immersed in the experience. It is something I will have to work on. Are there any suggestions on how to "let go" and "boogie woogie"?

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.
