Some blogs have topics. Not this one. Tech. Digg. Facebook. Sports. Videogames. Life.

I Am Blogger. Not Really Rich. Not Quite Famous.October 5

Steven Hodson wrote a good post about the various types of bloggers out there and some of the motivating factors behind it. In it he names me as a prime example of a blogger working for a larger network (in this case VentureBeat) biding my time and putting food on the table while I wait for future opportunities. I thought it might be a good time to clarify my position on what I do, since I've been at it for about 7 months professionally now.

Basically, this will just be a brain dump of sorts -- which I love that I still have a decently well-read personal blog to do.

While I'll admit that I wasn't always dead set on being a full-time blogger or even writer (I did study film in college after all), I am now absolutely dedicated to it. I find what I do to be more interesting and more fun than anything I've done in the past. It's challenging but stimulating. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't learn something new or meet someone interesting. That sound

A reminder that you have to register to voteOctober 1

Though the video below is a bit long, and completely stolen by Jonah Hill, the message is important: Vote.

I think a lot of people set out with the intention to vote in a big election than forget one vital thing: That you have to register beforehand. You do -- and you have to do that soon -- registration cards have to be post marked by October 20th.

You can enter your address and find out how to get a registration card or print one out from the Google Maps site Google has set up for registration.

Tonight's New Microsoft AdSeptember 18

I'm kind of excited to see Microsoft's new "I'm a PC" ads which start tonight. But part of me just kind of hopes it's this exact ad.

Windows 7: What ever happened to Windows Vista?September 17

You know when you're doing something that sucks and you keep telling yourself to hang in there because something better is around the corner? Does anyone else get the feeling that that is exactly what Microsoft is doing with Windows Vista and 7?

As was one of my predictions at the end of last year, talk about the follow-up to Vista keeps getting louder and louder. In fact, I hear about it now much more than I hear about Vista itself.

That's probably a good thing since few people seem to actually like Vista, and those that claim to often are fans of the word "but." Rumor now is that Windows 7 could be out as soon as next year, which will be somewhat humorous in that the amount of people upgrading from Windows XP may actually be higher than those who will upgrade to it from Vista -- since so many people still haven't upgraded to Vista.

Early talk is that Windows 7 won't be that much different than Vista, but rather will be more like a version of Vista tha

This is what she did say.September 17

Could it be? The best YouTube clip ever? Some people prefer clips of guys getting hit in the groin, or clips of cats doing stupid things, but I'll take a good "That's what she said" -- or dozens of them -- all from The Office -- anyday.
