Yes, it is both sad and true. It has been over 3 months since my last post and by my count almost 6 since I posted anything of substance.

So what does that mean for my 5 whole full-time readers? – Well, in a nutshell, I suck…What it really means, other than that, is that I have been in some SERIOUS transition.

I have separated from the company for which I was building marketing efforts and product lines. There was just too much of me going in and not enough of me coming out at the end of the day. I had a hard time separating my personal goals from the company goals. This is good and fine if all … Click to Continue →

March, 2011 update and disclosure: Since writing this article I have since left Acuhire and moved. See my latest posts for more information. The reason the company name has been removed is that I can no longer represent the company and therefore want you to take note of the fact that I am no longer affiliated.  Thank you

I have been neglecting my writing here for a few really bad reasons. The primary one is my mad obsession with tweeting. No really. I tweet for social reasons (of course) and for work. I am looking for work, promoting projects and even promoting sites or causes in which I believe. You can see most of my posts on this site, or via my Facebook or Linked-In pages. Yes, yes its true. I really do need the attention.

Lately, I have cut back on my writing. I am no longer writing the Travel Logs and I am not working at Big Green or the sticker company any longer.  I am officially an out-of-work nerd and techno-weenie. Yet, I have … Click to Continue →
