You've Got A Friend In Me

Haha! Have you ever had one of those times where everything just seems to keep floating along and one never feels they have every been getting anything done? I can't understand why my motivation for getting ahead is at an all-time low.

Well, I woke up this morning and knew that time was a predator. Heard this one before? Let me see if I get this right...time is a predator that stalks us all of our lives and then finally makes the kill. Or the opposite is: time is a companion that goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because they will never come again.

I suppose I can get a little sappy at times, but what is sappiness? It is a concept created by the negative people of this world. If we just said what we thought without worry of being attacked after saying it, I think the world would be a better place to live in. Ah, well. I will stick to my personal guns and not let those outside of my heart to destroy something I have worked so hard to build.

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.
