Welcome to My MatrixIf you’re a blogger, a geek, a nerd, or just like to read what people are having for lunch these days, perhaps you’ll notice there is a wee blogger war going on.

I just want to say that this “war” is all in good fun.  Why do I feel I need to “put this out there”?  I got an e-mail a couple of days ago that wanted to join my “empire of blogging evil”.

This is NOT so.  I am not evil.

The Vancouver Blogger War is more of a contest.  Like most contests, they are quick, fast – but what I have learned about blogging is that you need to sustain.  You need to take your time.  You need to look at the big picture and dig in for a long haul.  This is, by far, the best way to gain any type of blogging notice in the static of the Internet.

Thus, are you ready to step up?  Join the Evil Blogging Empire.  Vancouver blogging needs you in its ranks.  Let’s take over and rule the Vancouver blogging air waves and bring order to the Internet in Vancouver.

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.
