Self-Promoting Loser

January 28, 2010

I’m a fan of criticizing our society and everything I think is wrong with it.
But I’m also a diehard realist, and always consider if what I’m suggesting is possible.
This either creates hope of change, or a harsh realization of inevitability.
That’s the crossroad I’m at regarding self-promotion.
I don’t like self-promotion. I can’t say I don’t do [...]

Love The Take Off, Not The Flight

November 5, 2009

When you get involved in social media, you see a lot of articles that you “must read”, concepts you “must know”, and things you “must do.”

Content Philosophy

October 8, 2009

There is no universal “content philosophy” for blogging.

Some already share this philosophy (very few though). Those who don’t [...]
