You Are Going To Take A Trip To The Seaside

You Are Going To Take A Trip To The Seaside

I look at this one and think, well, duh, we go to the Cape every summer and actually will probably start going soon to get the house ready. But I’ve been thinking about going to get my kayak soon so that I can go out on the weekends with my friend Keith from Ten Mile River Watershed Council. I want to help do some river clean ups and film some Wired Kayaker videos.

Wired Kayaker?

For a while I had a blog called The Wired Kayaker. I would go on my kayak and make videos and post them, you can see all 6 of them by clicking on them on the sidebar. I decided to get rid of that blog and incorporate those posts into this blog. You can see all of those posts by looking through the Wired Kayaker category. I noticed that I hadn’t been updating that blog and that kayaking was pretty seasonal so in the winter I lost interest because I wasn’t on the water. I also figure that I shouldn’t separate that part of me to a different blog. This is the blog that people read to see what is going on with me and my kayak adventures certainly are things that go on with me.

This Fortune Made Me Think of My Xacti

I made my 1st Wired Kayaker video (podcast) using my Sanyo Xacti C4. This was not a waterproof camera like my Sanyo Xacti EC1. You’ll be hearing more about Sanyo Xacti these days because Sanyo/Fisher contracted some pretty big name YouTube personalities and gave them some of the new cameras. These are HD still/video cameras that are waterproof. These would be perfect cameras for my Wired Kayaker videos (podcasts). I wonder if Sanyo would like to sponsor the podcast?

Here are the new Sanyo Models.

You are Sociable and Entertaining

You are Sociable and Entertaining

I like to think of myself as sociable. I spend time meeting people online and I also take that offline and meet people. Earlier this month I put on Blogs, Brews and Belly Laughs and met some very interesting bloggers, some whom I had spoken with online and some I’d never met before. Being sociable isn’t too hard for me. I really enjoy it. However entertaining, well, I’m not too sure about that.

Are you Sociable?

Being sociable online takes time. Sure you can hang out on twitter all day and RT tweets from other bloggers. However, do you take the time to visit other blogs and leave comments. For me comments are the single largest measure of whether or not my blog is doing well. If people take the time to leave me a comment on a post then I know I made a connection. If you are going to be sociable online then you are going to need to make the effort and make that connection with other bloggers and also your regular readers.

Do you respond to your comments?

Do you take the time to engage those who took the time to connect with you? Responding to comments is something that you can do easily. In my daily routine I get a comment I respond immediately. Don’t let the comments back up either because once you engage your readers you need to stay engaged.

Entertaining?

I don’t think that I am too entertaining. I’d like to be more entertaining though. I’m thinking of taking the plunge and attending and participating in the Speed of Thought Players: Scary & Fast comedy workshops. We’ll see.

Wondering where the FortunateBluFrog Is?

Every Fortune can’t be about the Frog man, gotta give it a rest once in a while. But the frog is not gone. Just missing today.
