Re: Some Conversations have shifted to Twitter

I shunned twitter for the longest time...until podcamp. Now I'm convincing everyone I know to join the cult. No turning back now.

Re: Arguing against your limitations

Mr. Penn,
Well said, my friend. Well said. I'm pretty sick of what @sarahwurrey was calling the "oppression olympics" whereby a game of one-upmanship (or one-downmanship, maybe) happens every time the issue of race, gender, etc. comes up in a conversation.

Truth is, if we want to spend all of our time giving reasons why we aren't succeeding...why we aren't doing awesome, that's great. The people that ARE doing awesome will have less competition that way.

One of my favorite movies is "American Movie" a documentary about a guy that wants nothing else but to make an independent horror movie. He has no real skill, no money, and his entire family doesn't believe in him. But he makes it happen. And one of my favorite quotes from it deals with excuses:

"There's no excuses. No one has ever paid admission to see an excuse. No one has ever faced a black screen that says, 'Well, if we had these set of circumstances we would have shot this scene, so please forgive us and use your imagination.' I've been to the movies hundreds of times, that's never occurred." - Mark Borchardt, American Movie

Hi Fred, and thanks for linking to my post. You're right, there are probably thousands of lists out there, but I usually see lists of concepts rather than quick, practical, usable things to do. Thanks again for the link!

Thanks for the link to my presentation. I really find the Zemanta plugin incredibly useful, and like I said, it is my Super Dope Ill Ninja Secret Trick. Whenever I show it to people, they love it. Keep up the great work.

Re: Warning: Google Talk Phishing Scam Spreading Like Wildfire

Did a little digging on the site, and it looks like they're part of a network of phishing sites targeting gtalk, gmail, twitter, myspace, etc.:

Hi.
Thanks again for the link to my blog. Right now, the majority of my posts are geared toward new blawgers, but I definitely have plans to include issues relevant to veteran blawgers.

Thank You.
