Out With The Old, In With The New…

I started this blog back in 2007 with little expectations of it being the next big hit on the web. I mean, c’mon, there’s over 2 million blogs out there. I would blog every so often and not about anything in particular.

Then came Twitter. The knife in my blog’s back. Not only could I just send out a quick thought in under 140 characters, I didn’t have to go through the hassle of logging in to the blog, starting a new post, write a magnetic headline,  etc. I could just knock it out, bam! There’s my thought/tweet, enjoy, move on. Basically Twitter, like the house-hold calculator, made me lazy. Quick, what’s 123+98! Uh….

Anyway, I’ve learned a lot since 2007. I’ve been more active in the web community, attended various social events and conferences, and most importantly picked up this thing called, “reading”. The more I read other people’s blogs, the more it got me motivated to write. Then I started picking up these things called, “books”. You know, those rectangular-shaped things with a bunch of pages glued together. No, not your Teen Cosmo with the latest dish on New Moon, the good stuff like Jeffery Fox’s “How to Become a Great Boss” (recommend by my own boss Gene McCubbin) or my latest grab, Trust Agents by one of my favorite bloggers Chris Brogan.

So, I’m back. Never really left, just took a hiatus I guess. Some things to look forward to: my takes on social media, the future of the web, coding and some taboo stuff like politics & religion (gasp!).

Update: I decided to bring in some older posts that really liked and got good feedback on.

Join me for the ride, stick around and subscribe (once I have stuff worth coming back for — of course), follow me on Twitter; all that jazz!
