If you look to your right, and down the page a bit you’ll notice something called "sidebar". That’s all the links I find around the web that I want to share with you. I’m doing this by posting a sub-feed from my del.icio.us account so that the whole thing is seemless seamless. Ooh, seemless seamless. Sweet.
I’m totally excited about the eventual release of Will Wright’s Spore. This is going to be SO cool. The kids and I have had great fun with open ended video games and this looks like it will top everything else we’ve tried to date.
I’m also loving the way YouTube and Google Video allow you to embed their video on my site!
I’ve been blogging for a long time (well a long time for a new communication tool, not long time as in "the long now" long). My first "hello world post" was on July 4th, 2001.
Between then and last year about now I blogged on a semi-regular basis and managed to get about 430 posts online during that time.
Then I started One Degree and for all intents and purposes stopped my personal blog. Slowly the old schafer.com was falling apart as more of my attention went to One Degree. Finally I couldn’t take it anymore and I ripped the site down and replaced it with some minimalistic pages about me and what I do. But because my blog still used Blogger software for the back end it was just too much to contemplate a total overhaul given my infrequent posting.
Now that I’ve joined Tucows I really want to move schafer.com away from being a business site towards being my personal site.
So, here’s how I’m hoping it will work out:
- Here – Stuff about me, personal observations, asides, family and life stuff, capturing ideas, working through problems in public, etc.
- There – One Degree is a group effort focussed entirely on Internet marketing, particularly in Canada, so most of my writing on that topic will be done over there.
My guess is I’ll also be running a Tucows blog of some sort – I can’t imagine I wouldn’t – but you’ll have to wait to find out more about that.
Any thoughts on the mix of "official" and "personal" blogging?
The folks at 37signals posted this to their Flickr photostream a while ago and I wanted to capture it:
