A theme that finally works

After dinking around with themes for the past oh, 3 months, or for ever, I have finally found one that I like and seems to work really well with Wordpress Widgets. I'll keep tweaking the interface, but as it stands, it really works well.

Back in the “IT” world

OK, so I thought I would try something different. And I did... sort of. I was never 100% out of the IT world. I was doing contract programming. And now... that's what I'm doing again, full time.

I guess it's in my blood. It's what I really want to be doing. There are a lot of variations of things I want to do, ideas I have. The down time gave me an opportunity to look at a lot of things.

The only magazine you’ll ever need

Pretty bold huh? Well, if you're into building a business, running a business, trying to get great business ideas, learn from the most successful business builders on the planet, you need Inc. 500. No, this isn't an ad for the magazine. I don't get any kick back from them. I just know, that pretty much the only magazine I put money down for any more is the yearly 500.

The Internet, for me anyway, has basically eliminated the need to purchase magazines. The information in a magazine is usually 30 or more days old and are so full of advertising it makes reading an article almost impossible. I feel like I chase an article; start on page 1, continued on page 96, continued on page 30, continued on page 55.

Almost every magazine has an online version. It's sort of counter productive don't you think? I know, magazines can go places computers can't, but I don't really care. If I need something to read, I'll just download content to my Treo and read it where ever I want.
