dispatches from the new world of work

Big Day!

Today Is a BigDay! 01.27.2005 is the 6-month Anniversary of my modest blogging experiment. I celebrate it, not with a Long Blog, but with a short one.

Snow [LOTS OF] kept me from the BizBlogging Conf in SEATTLE. So while my Partner, Erik Hansen, attended, I stayed home ... AND WROTE. To be precise (more or less), 35,000 words. You'll see the fruits in a coupla weeks. Erik has Blogged the conference beautifully, and I've done my thing.

What else can I say? The ... WHOLE IDEA ... of the "Blogging Bit" is Honest Reporting ... eh?

(If there is ... EVER ... a ... Hint of Bullshit ... in This Space ... YOU will Call Me On It!

(I Love That.)

I think many of us missed your comments these days. I did, at least. Supposed it was for the snow, but couldnÂ´t you write them from home?

Anyway, Blogging is so fun that anyone should try.

35k words! CHINA ON MY MIND THOUGH - HOPE SOME INCLUDES THEIR NEWNESS AS JAPAN'S #1 TRADING PARTNER - and almost 9.5% growth last year.

I have missed your words over the last few days. Hope the snow clears.

Six months and you clearly "grok" blogging completely, Tom. Way to go! (and if you can write 35,000 words that fast, phew, you should consider a side career in horror fiction! You could give Stephen King a run for the money) :-)

Tom already writes Horror - i.e. the state of most companies today......

Sorry couldn't resist that barb!

35K? Wow, that's a heck of a snow day Tom. Can't wait to see what you've come up with.

tom: your pubsub (as on this commenting) is 588 !!
I took a cull here on Nov 18th-
http://peterdawson.typepad.com/blog/2004/11/our_guru_is_5_.html

The PubSub was then 398- your growth in pubsub is near practically 48% in 3 months. Thats an overall growth rate of 200% per annum ..correct ??
I.e. If I use pubsub ratios as the measure of credibility, community trust factor, belief system ingredients and syndication benchmark !! :)-

Way to go-Rock on !!

You've been well missed, I'm sure by all.
Looking forward to the 'fruit' of those cold, snowy days.

Tom, you are a terrific blogger and boy-oh-boy-oh-boy, I totally agree that Erik did a great job of blogging our Seattle junket. I'll write more about it today, but I'm finding I need a few days rumination time to pick out the gems from conference going.

One thing Seattle taught me was how to be "free and easy" with setting up LOTS of blogs. I loved learning from the masters there. They do not stand on ceremony.
