I’ve recently been looking for better ways to connect my blog into the social sphere. I feel the easier my readers can connect with me, talk with me, ask questions, etc., the more personal my blog becomes. You’ll notice I’ve added some pretty little icons to the right that show the networks I belong to […]
Read more...How I use Google Reader
I’ve been on the Google Reader band wagon for a long time now. I currently subscribe to about 150 feeds, and I read or skim over probably near 1,000 or more feed items a day. Reading my feeds is how I stay up on the latest and greatest, and how I am able to give […]
Read more...CrunchGear – That was Uncalled For
I’ve been straying away from mentioning religion on my blog for awhile. Partly because I deal with so many religions on a daily basis through my Catholic Facebook Application, Baptist Facebook Application, and recently sold LDS Application. I love religion, and have grown to respect all religions as I strive to make this business model […]

I don’t know Susan Reynolds very well, other than our occasional chats on Twitter. She found me, actually, following me for my updates on BYU Football Games. I know she is a huge Ohio State fan, and she has been very vocal on Twitter. She is also very involved in Second Life. Overall, I think […]
Read more...Twitter Updates
You’ll notice I’ve started posting all my Twitter updates on a daily basis. The whole Twitter concept came about as a form of “mini-blogging”. It’s a great way to blog as you go throughout the day. Since I don’t always have time to write entire blog posts, I’m posting my Twitter posts, which often include […]
