Fighting for it... PAD #1197

Walking around the house I saw this lone flower still in bloom fighting to stay in bloom where all the other flowers were well past their time.

Today was a get things done day. I am traveling next week to Nashville, Tennessee and Seattle Washington. And I am really excited about going there. I haven’t been to Nashville in a while but it will be fun to go back. Wicked fun because I contacted Eddie Christy and we are gonna hang out for dinner on Tuesday night somewhere downtown. If you are a blogger in Nashville or Seattle drop me a note. Who knows, I could meet you too.

Because of the super quick pick up of a trip I needed to make many different arrangements at work. I was pretty busy. I’m responsible for the training of a new person in the group and with the possibility of two weeks away I didn’t want her training to grind to a halt. I mean how bad would that look especially when I’m moving over to the training group. Oh yeah, that second week of travel. Yeah, I may be headed to London for a week and Wednesday is a day off from demos. And London bloggers want to show me around the place? I can’t wait to show you all the photos I’ll be taking in the next few weeks. Oh yeah one more thing, tomorrow I’m going on a 7 mile paddle with a group called the Ten Mile River Watershed Council and Rhode Island Blueways Alliance. I’ll be going on the trip to paddle, make new friends and videotape things for an episode of, The Wired Kayaker, you though that podcast was dead, didn’t you?

If you go to my blog Google is Not God you are going to see a ton of photos from picapp. This is a photo service that you can use to display royalty free images on your blog. I know how many of you are always looking for photos to display on your blogs. Some of us display ones that we took, like Chica, she has a bunch of photos up from photographers that she admires and enjoys. I even made it into the Friday Frinks list. I need to get things together and do my own Friday Frinks some Friday. Not this Friday but some Friday.

SocialSpark just reset all of the props on blogger accounts. What do you think about that decision? Leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts.

Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’

I have made a few cosmetic changes to this site and you might have noticed that I went Blog Roll Crazy lately too. I’ve always had those blog rolls on this blog, they even had their own page but in an effort to clean a few things up I have removed the Blog Roll page and posted my various blog rolls as posts with links to them on the side. The only Blogroll that I didn’t move was the SocialCardsters because that is such an active blogroll that it needs its own page after all.

What else did I do? I added a contact page. I have many blogging friends who are getting items to review and I’m a pretty good reviewer as well. So why am I not being approached to do reviews? There was no way for someone to Contact me. Sure they could leave a comment but maybe they didn’t want to broadcast their intentions to the world. I get that, finally. I will also be incorporating some advertising guidelines for people who would like to advertise with me directly. You can always use the PPP direct button but I will also offer other options.
