Personal
The New DavidRisley.com Office
A little over a week ago, my family moved into another house. It was a major hassle (obviously) and it happened to come right in between two business trips, but I think it will be worth it.
One of the major reasons we made the move was for my office space. I was working in a small space in the last house. I was thinking about renting an outside office, but then we got to looking at it…
2010 Annual Blogging Income Report – And The Year Ahead
My wife’s grandmother thinks I’m a drug dealer.
Well, she did. I don’t know what she thinks now. She comes from a time and place (back in Russia) where the very concept of what I do for a living was completely unheard of. When she came and visited us a couple years back, she asked my wife if I was into something shady. From her viewpoint, I sat there and pressed buttons on some strange machine (my computer), and yet somehow our bills were paid and my wife wasn’t working.
My wife’s grandmother has since passed away (God bless her). She has one grandmother left, and who knows what she thinks it is that I do.
Bloggers, We Love Our Coffee, Right? [Giveaway]
Today, I’m doing something different. Instead of talking about blogging and/or making money, I’m going to talk about something that some people think is even MORE important…

Random Updates: Income, #bloggerdiet, Travels
Today, I thought I would write up a little “random update” post. Instead of getting on my soapbox.
October has been a busy month. So, here we go…
On Being A Problogger… And A Dad
I was sitting there in the delivery room. My wife and I knew it would be soon, but I can’t say we expected to have to leave the house at 1AM and go to the hospital. We were waiting, but we knew it would happen soon. Anytime now. Just waiting…. waiting….
I sat there and tried to sleep in a really uncomfortable chair, cursing the hospital staff for not thinking of us soon-to-be daddys. Of course, my wife has a job on her hands, so I probably shouldn’t complain. My part was easy. The least I could do was just suck it up and try to enjoy my little six-pack of cheese crackers I got from the snack machine in the hall. I’ll just call it…. breakfast.
Later that morning, it happened.

So, I did it and came up with 25 Random Things You Probably Didn’t Know About David Risley. Several months later, I guess I did it again: 25 [More] Random Things About Dave.
