The Ideas of March

Thursday, March 15th, 2012


PHP coders aren't type castAlways looking for an excuse to keep myself honest with my blogging, I'm latching onto the blogging commitment train called "the Ideas of March." The list of committed bloggers so far consist of PHP folk that I admire and (some) I even know.

 

As I am doing a little blogging for *mojoLive I've been posting them here as well. That being said, it's only a couple of articles in the past 6 months. When I started neutralgood.net, I was blogging twice a week. I think I will commit myself to once a week to start off with. I really enjoyed blogging- I loved the creativity involved. As a daddy blogger, I've learned that if you don't watch out, life gets in the way. Not this time :)

Some articles will be humorous, some will be chock full of geeky knowledge, some will be bitchy- but I will try make all of them interesting. Blogging is a habit, and it is a habit I'm going to cultivate.

If you'd like to participate in the "the Ideas of March", here's how:

  • Write a post called Ideas of March.
  • Write about why you like blogs.
  • If you don't already blog regularly, pledge to blog more the rest of the month.
  • Share your thoughts on Twitter with the #ideasofmarch hashtag.

Starting Over

Monday, February 20th, 2012

As you can tell, this poor blog has been all but abandoned. Neglect due to family, work and "other."

Life has been, overall, good. Sure, we've got minor disasters like our sole bathroom's subflooring needing to be completely replaced, but we'll managed to stay somewhat solvent and happy. Our little boy is finally "getting it" about potty training, Cathy and I have managed to get away alone for a weekend to the Eastern Shore and "we", as a unit, are getting along just fine.

Work is awesome. I absolutely love working at home and with a team of such talented people on a product I believe in. mojoLive is due to launch alpha this week and we feel pretty good about it!

The "other" is interesting, in that I'm going to be speaking in two conferences this year, one local, one *gulp* national. Along with my monthly running of the Frederick Web Technology Meetup, I'm also taking up a hobby of rebuilding my old CMS in OOP so Steve can have a developer take over his sites and actually be able to maintain them.

As for this blog, I am "starting over" and (with renewed prodding from the fact my better half is out-blogging me- it's not that hard), I am starting anew. I may not be as witty as I've been, but I will try my best to, at least, be entertaining ;)

All that being said, I will end here- but look for another post to come within a couple of weeks week as I need to write one for the mojoLive blog ;)
