So, no more Tumblr posts.  I will keep the account, since I am still developing on that system for a few friends.  You will notice the flash widget is gone from the sidebar, along with some other changes made too.

Ok, keeping this short so I can get back to work.  I really should sleep, but who has time for that!

Cheers!

Luckily, John Chow is giving away a pass and I am hoping that he will pick me as the winner!  Hey, I deserve it!

I work hard and deserve to spend some time in Vegas learning more about what I can do to be a ‘better blogger’ and find what is out there that can help me acheive this.

As for the plane and hotel, I can just sell one of my kidneys to take care of that.

Cheers!

So, I think it is time I start getting around to doing a bit more blogging.  My friends that read my blog enjoy my writing and many of them use it as a resource for products and software (they are living in the dark ages).

Are you a bad blogger?

Cheers!
