When Nerds Attack
I wrote a post over on PCMech a few days ago about Firefox 3. I called the browser a memory hog and I posted a screenshot of how much memory it was using. Little did I know the nerd shitstorm I would unleash. Even though I run a Mac, I have found that bashing anything [...]
What’s So Great About Toluu?
Warning: The following post will be seen as some as a party foul.
Sometimes I can’t help but wonder if geek bloggers just get excited about everything that comes down the pike or do they really look to see what the value is first. Case in point: Toluu.com.
Now let me be clear: I’m not [...]
Everything You Need To Know About Writing Blog Headlines
Attracting readers to your blog is very often all about the headline you use for your post. Yes, this has been said a million times by other writers, but I thought I would simply state what goes through my mind when I write a headline. These are 5 questions I often ask myself when authoring [...]

Life as a Pro Blogger
I am a professional blogger and have been for some time. What I mean by that is that I make my living and pay the bills through my online activities with my blogs. Most bloggers out there are not pro. Many would like to be and are trying to get to that point. But, what [...]

Last weekend, I was at Harris Fellman’s place in Scottsdale, Arizona. I was out there because I bought Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula through him and he set up a sort of retreat at his place for others like me as well as some people he invited. Harris Fellman is a classic internet marketer. He [...]
New Blogging 2.0 Paradigm: What Is It?
I saw Louis Gray’s post about Blogging 2.0 Causing Friction with 1.0 and it spoke right to a thought I have been having for the last few days. I sent the link to Rich (who writes for me over on PCMech). This is a compilation of Rich’s remarks from our chat:
The single largest problem with [...]
Why Do Bloggers Use Mac?
We’ve all been there. We go to a tech conference of some kind. If, for some reason, you wander up to the front of the room and look back, you see a sea of fruit. A bunch of Apple laptops looking back at you with their signature apple logo glowing on the back of the [...]
Debating Disqus - Seems Stupid
I’ve thought about it. I checked out Disqus and pondered the idea of using it for this blog. I see that some other bloggers are using it. But, it is a bit of a scary proposition at this point. Why?

No, Links are NOT Dead, Scoble and Gillmore
Yesterday, in the FriendFeed noise pool that I started with my post on FriendFeed, Scoble reacted to my post and ultimately ended up posting a well written response on his blog. That’s great and all, but I noticed (and pointed out to him) that he decided to link to the FriendFeed conversation rather than my [...]
