Seems like it was just yesterday when we moved into the townhouse there by the large pond in the park that is named a lake… But time has moved by rather rapidly and after being there almost two years with much consideration the wife and I decided a move was in order for us. With more consideration, we settled on the idea of moving to Lexington. For me that almost seems like a full circle has been completed.
The New Year and with it the typical planning for a fresher start, or at least the determination to stick with some plans made for the coming year is rapidly approaching. I have, realized over that it has been just over a month since my last post here, so I am first and foremost jumping back into my plan to post on a daily basis. I will say, that for once – aside from the week I took off from the blog after Thanksgiving, I really have been that busy with projects, both work related and personal, over the last thirty or so days. Enough of that though, time to get back to the task at hand, which listing out my ideals that I am determined about for the coming year. So, commence with your pork, corned beef, cabbage, and especially your black eyed peas, pull up a chair… read my resolutions and comment back with your own.
I know, I have had this debate before, but I am still being torn between the idea of which is better – the traditional book, made of paper that is printed on, especially a hard back volume and the e-book reader version that I can get so handily on my Kindle device (or for that matter my iPad, laptop, or even desktop computer). I keep thinking back on all those wonderful years I have had with books, but similarly keep thinking about the pluses of the electronic edition and some of the greener ideas behind it as well. I was especially thinking of this today while watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy movies this afternoon, based upon probably my favorite books ever, by J.R.R. Tolkien.
A quick post to say Happy to Thanksgiving to all my friends and family, and especially the extended family that occasionally reads the blog!
You have jumped into this social media mix with both feet. During the hours when you are not engaged in employment for someone else you tweet out those things that have interested you or caught your eye. Those include retweet of good links as well as some of those wonderful bits of insightful wisdom. However, you seem to always be behind the curve in attracting followers and readers of your tweets and especially using that traffic to drive additional page views of your site and/or application. You realize that the times you have available to tweet is less than the optimal times for the general web browsing population. What are you to do?
