Going to AdTech

Okay, all details are now sorted out. I’m going to AdTech from November 7-10. This is a huge relief for me, after nearly making it to 2 major conferences in the last month, and missing out on both of them because of logistics.
I’ll be there largely representing b5media and some upcoming big news on that […]

New Narnia Trailer

Film Gecko (a new b5media blog) points out the new Chronicles of Narnia trailer.
Yowza.
Any fears I had of being poorly adapted, or not doing the characters and pure magic of Narnia justice have been put to rest. I’m not confident it’ll be “Lord of the Rings good”, but it’ll at least be “Harry Potter […]

Getting My Linux Groove On

While I’ve never been “anti-Linux” (I believe it’s one of the best OS’s in the world, particularly for single-purpose servers like webservers, caching, etc)… I’ve never had to personally manage or personally use Linux to any degree. The extent of my Linux knowledge was that “cd” was change directory, “top” showed me what was going […]

Splogs Solution: Class Action Lawsuit Against Google?

This isn’t actually a proposal, more of a “thinking out loud”. Most spam blogs, “splogs” for short (how stupid of a name…), are powered by Google’s Blogspot service. Certainly not all of them, but a good number of them (between 2000-3000 of them are created on Blogspot every day according to recent analysis).
My question is, […]

Goodbye XBox

Like so many others I’ve become introspective on my last 4 years of gaming, which has largely been centered around Microsoft’s XBox console.
Ever first I since started gaming on a Commodore 64, I’ve always loved video games. For me, games fulfill one of two desires: socializing and working my mind.
Any game which doesn’t allow me […]

Blogs Are Marketing Tools

I’m always surprised anytime anyone doubts the power of blogs to touch consumers. Too many detractors still think of blogs as this nebulous place where teenagers gripe about homework or their latest boyfriends, or where people with nothing better to do try and prove their importance by talking about what they don’t know.
Blogs are powerful. […]

Want to Review My Next Book?

My next book, You Can Blog (being co-authored by Aaron Brazell) is currently well underway. For it, we’ve decided to happily borrow the Naked Conversations model of reviewing and editing: doing it in public.
The idea is that we’ll post the first drafts in public, allow anyone who wants to to contribute, and ultimately have a […]

Ensight Joining b5media

Just as a note, Ensight will be becoming part of the b5media network effective November 1. Initially this won’t mean any real changes (besides less and/or different ads). Long term, I’ll likely go with one of the b5media templates and so forth. This will always be just my personal blog, though, so I’m not entirely […]

3 Weeks Until Blog Marketing

Just in case nobody caught the change in the Amazon release date, Blog Marketing official comes out in 3 weeks: November 15th.
This is incredibly exciting to me. The book went to the printers 2 days ago (a day ahead of schedule), and is being published over a month early. This is largely because we wanted […]
