2007. It’s almost over. I suppose I should try to come up with some catchy phrase to end this year, but simple words would only undervalue the whirlwind of a ride my life and this blog have taken in the last 365 revolutions of Earth. I’ll try to sum up, the best I can, the [...]

This article in the ABCs of Writing series covers the letter “C,” which means that I’m writing about the comma. It’s the most dangerous part of English, yet it’s the most useful.

Another week has gone by and I have another Weekly Roundup to present to you. No, I didn’t post too much in this past week, but rest assured that I worked every single day on something. I’ll give you plenty of new content in the coming weeks to be happy about. But, for now, check [...]
Breaking the Technorati top 10K with free advertising
What’s that? Free advertising? Tell me more. In honor of this site’s venture into the Technorati top 10,000 blogs, I’m kicking off my new advertising campaign. I’m giving away 2 – 3 advertising spots for free. Currently, I’m using AdSense in the far right sidebar. This is where the new ads will go. Note: These [...]
