This weekend a number of my social media compatriots are in Las Vegas at Blog World Expo, the largest US based social media/blogging convention there is.

Why I don’t include myself in that fanaticism I have no idea, but that’s the way it’s always been. Not every personal promise is [...]

Although things like posting to my blog were shunted aside, I’ve managed to keep up the forward momentum and get what needed to be done, done. But these last two [...]

Shiny new WordPress (under the hood anyway)
I just upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.6 and hope to spend some time playing with the new features later. If you need to upgrade yours, don’t be afraid! It’s not so bad. Maybe this will help.

Shea Days
This afternoon Pat, the boys and I are heading into NY to see the Mets play. It will likely be the last game I attend at Shea Stadium before they tear it down in favor of the almost-finished new Citi Field. Thanks to the influence of my grandfather, a NY Giants turned NY Mets fan, [...]
