Social networks are like lawns with dandelion problems. They’re very nice, and hopefully well-maintained - but those weeds!
I’ve joined quite a few now, primarily out of curiosity. The value is clear, at least to me, in the better ones. Being connected is a good thing, and finding new people with similar interests, hobbies, careers and […]
It’s been a while since I’ve visited Hugh MacLeod’s blog gapingvoid. I’ve been off in other directions recently. But I was back again today and it confirmed my feeling that it’s one of the best blogs on the web, especially from the point of view of business, marketing, creativity and so on.
And on the subject […]
I’ve been scooting across the Web trying to parse the recent kerfuffle regarding conduct on blogs (which, as one comment on one blog mentioned, is not restricted to blogs but the Web generally).
It has led to a proposed Blogger’s Code of Conduct, suggested by Tim O’Reilly. From what I’ve seen of comments and posts scattered […]
Good grief. It’s already April. Where’ve I been?
Well, as the photo on the right suggests, I’ve been feeding squirrels. (Not really, actually. But a friend put the corn out in the backyard to see what the squirrels would do. Being logical creatures, they ate it.)

As the Web has shown, especially blogs, most of us are critics. We’ve got a lot of beefs and the Web allows us to air them, though not always to a huge audience. (It is potentially huge – […]
I was looking for a program to try out. There was a free trial version available. It was a large company’s site, one you’re probably familiar with. So …
I found the link via Google - a method many, many people use. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person who came to the page this […]
You know, much as I enjoy Seth’s blog, sometimes I hate it – especially when he ends a post by asking a question that makes me squirm.
His post Great writing, unfiltered is essentially about how technology, the Internet, Web 2.0 – whatever you want to call it – has changed marketing and, specifically, writing. Actually, […]
A video appears to be making the rounds. If you haven’t seen it yet, believe me it’s worth a look. (I found it on Seth’s blog, and he found it … and so on.)
I guess you could say this is about how there’s more to what we’re doing here than what it initially appears we […]

I’ve made a few slight changes but don’t have the tools yet to make the changes I need to make … so things look kind of not-so-good. I also discovered tonight that the sidebar gets moved to the bottom of the page for people using Internet Explorer (IE). So I’ll have to figure that problem […]
I have not posted anything on any of my blogs in the last few days and I’ve been wondering why. The answer kept coming back: I had nothing to post about. I started mulling that over.
First, I wondered why I had nothing to post. The answer was that I actually had much I could have […]
