30 Days!

Blogging Heroes

Well, I made it to thirty days of blogging.


Somehow I managed to make the last one coincide when I would be out of town.

I have a few ideas on the backburner, but could not get to them over the past two days due to work travel.

What have I learned in thirty days?
1. Writing makes you think better.
2. Writing makes you think creatively.
3. I missed writing but apparently not thinking better or creatively.
4. You can write without an audience.
5. An audience can literally just be yourself.
6. Take your time finding what you want to say, but once you know what it is just say it.
7. Blog writers are EXTREMELY forgiving when it comes to spelling and grammar.
8. Blog writers probably ought to be more discriminating.
9. Finding folks who share similar ideas rocks.
10. Not trying to use a blog to sell crap is rewarding.

I think I can keep up this pace.

I am going to keep trying month by month to do AT LEAST a post/day. You will notice (which I don't suppose anyone will) that I technically did not get 30 in 30 days because the posting screwed up and I only REALLY did 29 in 30 and doubled up.

Considering the number of posts waiting to come out, I'd say I'm doing ok.

Thanks if you ARE paying attention and please, nitpick or comment- love it or hate it.

I can take it, I used to teach.

Slow Death or Rebirth for Myspace?

  Are we really watching the slow inevitable death of Myspace? With the integration with Facebook complete and  the push towards what appears to be a mobile only function , isn't it time to call this one? One report says that Myspace is making $200 million less this year. They are functionally giving up on Myspace Music , which was always their bread and butter. Without the music tie in, why would people BOTHER with Myspace? I'm talking about it because my wife's band has used every medium known to mankind to promote themselves online and Myspace has been nothing but dead weight from the very beginning. Only bands and their most ardent fans go there. The rest are on Facebook.  There is talk of selling Myspace, but who in their right mind would consider it? This will have some interesting implications for bands down the road. Many use Myspace as their de facto website, just pushing their domain name onto the customizable site. Now apparently, Reverbnation , a North Carolin

New Life

  It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening.  Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring.  I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now.  Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat.  I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could. One of the lessons for your life needs to be: you need to b
