BloggerCon

Would you pay $500 to spend the day listening to people talk about blogging? Not that I was one of the “invited”, (I probably don’t live close enough to Boston) but please! I’m already sick of reading all the BS hype about blogging as it is! In fact, one day last week I was so fucking sick of all the bull that goes with blogging that I came about this close to just giving it up completely! Then I remembered why I got into his and the people who I do enjoy reading and decided against that. Still, I think maybe this is the “tipping point” that all of these blogger-as journalist keep talking about, but it’s not the tipping point they think they’re getting. It’s the tipping point where the rest of the world laughs at us for paying $500 to sit around and discuss blogging for a day. I wouldn’t waste the time, let alone the money!

Think of it this way, there are those who do things, and there are those who sit around talking about doing things. Which group are you in?

Thanks to Joy for the link

There was nothing to report!) This is an update/apology, which is…

    Like anything in life, as well as technology, the best way to learn and get better at something is to practice it.

    Blogger is currently running a survey of it’s users. There are questions about you, your blogging habits, how you started blogging and whether you’ve told others about it, rating things you’d like to be able to do easier and about using news aggregators. Pretty run of the mill stuff, only took me about 5 minutes….

    Beth is back blogging at a new locale. Those of you who were at Gnomedex last year know who Beth is, since she spoke. The rest of you will just have to go this year and meet her. (Thanks to Doc for the pointer.) Speaking of Gnomedex 3, I also see where Scoble’s going to…

    I’ve been thinking about a couple of things for awhile now and I feel like I should share with you some of the reasons why I am doing things the way I am. First, the switch to Flickr from the galleries, that will be taking place bit by bit over the next few weeks or…
