  • So, I Needed to Update My Website

    The time had come. I desperately needed to update my website. Like “a cobbler with bad shoes” or “an accountant with an unbalanced checkbook” kind of needing to update my website. It was bad enough that the last time I had posted to my blog was years old — five years now — and the…

  • Less Is More

    The last couple of weeks I’ve been really impressed with the concept of “less is more.” In a culture that thrives off more, having less has certainly become counter cultural – but it works. This is one of the reasons – in my opinion – Apple has historically done well. There are less options. So how…

  • Ironic

    The irony of being called a “professional blogger” is not lost on me. While many bloggers may let their personal blog turn into a wasteland of characters – as I have mine – I have seen the number of posts I publish around the web diminish beyond the “hobby blogger” and into the “blogger-wanna-be” realm. I…

  • It’s About Getting Things Done

    GTD. “Getting Things Done.” Not only is the GTD system popular, it’s a buzzword thrown around by productivity gurus. I like to get things done (who doesn’t?), so I’ve tried the official GTD system among many others.

  • My Favorite Free WordPress Plugins

    Last month (apparently I’m blogging here monthly now? That’s lame) I shared how I wanted to stop sponging off WordPress. After keeping up with my weekly ratings, reviews, and favorting (is that a word now?) for this past month, I am really happy with how everything has turned out. Not only do I feel better…

  • I Stopped Sponging Off WordPress

    Back in March I finally filled-out my WordPress profile. After years of using free plugins and never leaving a rating, I decided I needed to change my ways. Rating plugins and leaving reviews is not only an important part of being a good Internet citizen, but also a helpful member of the WordPress community.

  • My 2016

    This blog post has been sitting in my head since the beginning of the New Year. In fact, I think I’ll post-date this post just so I can have a nice mile marker to look back on.

  • Time for Computer Maintence

    I remember several years ago, when I had a “normal” job, completing computer updates and upgrades gave me a sense of accomplishment. After all, making sure all my systems where up to date and running smooth was not only a part of my job, but insured I could fulfill my other duties well.

  • Getting Things Done

    I read another blog post about “getting things done.” I would imagine if I took the total amount of time I’ve spent reading about getting things done, I would have gotten a lot more…well…done. Ironically enough, after having spent more time reading yet another such blog post and not getting things done, I realized something about these…
