Disable commenting? No, no, no! This is what you get when you go to someone who doesn’t understand blogging. Let’s face it, most bloggers would have more self esteem problems with their comments off. How else do you know that people are reading.

I love taking time as I work online to get a little random. There’s so many things to discover online, and if you take your entire day too seriously you miss it. Of course, the catch is that if you spend too much time following random links your entire day vanishes.

But how do you find random things? It really isn’t all that easy. Read the rest of this entry »

Hopefully you can come up with a better way to pick a blog to vote for than that! Because PayPerPost is sponsoring the Blogger’s Choice web awards, and I’d love to see what happens.

This is going to be the random, potentially fun blog for me. No idea where all I’ll be taking things, so I did a random train of thought for initial categories. No doubt I’ll be adding to them over time.

Expect site and product reviews, wandering through my favorite geek technology and toys. I’ll talk about life, stuff happening in the world… whatever catches my eye when I’m writing for this blog.
