Web Performance, Branding, and Social Media
Posts Tagged ‘blog’
This morning I launched Bipolar Lives, a blog that discusses the broad issues and personal challenges of living with Bipolar Syndrome.
Readers of this blog will know that I was diagnosed with Bipolar I in 2006. It’s a condition I am very open about and that is a challenge (and an opportunity) that I live with. [...]

14 Aug 2008Since November 5 2004 (Geez! Have I been blogging that long?), I have written 1,744 posts (this is 1,745). So, as you can well imagine, I can’t remember whats in most of them. I know which ones are the most popular and what’s in those, but on the whole, I couldn’t tell you what’s in [...]
Welcome to Newest Industry…
In: Blogging
7 Aug 2008Or should I say, welcome back.
Three years ago when I started blogging on a regular basis, the blog was name The Newest Industry after the Husker Du song of the same name. Then I migrated the content to Wordpress.com, and relinquished hosting it myself.
Well, I have decided to resurrect Newest Industry, but with all the [...]
The fading of blogging
13 Apr 2008Through 2007, the number of posts I made per day/week/month decreased steadily. I know post new items 2-3 items a month, or less. After 2 years of steady entries, I just didn’t have anything to add to the conversation.
Having been an A-list groupie for this entire period, I lost touch with the self-perpetuating scene. A [...]

In: GrabPERF
11 Jan 2008I know that I have been bad at blogging news about GrabPERF, but today there is some. In the last two weeks, we have added two measurement locations: Washington DC AOL and Argentina LaNacion.
Thanks to Carson Evans of AOL, and Jose Falvo and Leonardo Lancellotta of LaNacion for helping out with the installation process.

7 Hours at Sea-Tac on New years Eve
In: Life
29 Dec 2007So, on New Years Eve, due to the vagaries of modern air travel, the family will be spending seven hours at Sea-Tac waiting for the second leg of our trip home.
For me, this is usually not an issue, as I can huddle up in a corner with my wireless connection and while away the hours [...]

The best times on a business trip…
In: Life
3 Nov 2007Part of the problem with making a lot of East to West trips across the US is that the flights back are a nightmare for timing. You either lose most of a day or have to take a red-eye.
Well, taking the red-eye has only one advantage: you get to camp in the airline lounge and [...]
