Well I got Naked Conversations (by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel) for my birthday on Wednesday, and I’m looking forward to start reading it tonight. I’ve heard a lot about the topics and ideas covered in the book and have been waiting to pick it up for awhile, so my wife got it for me.
Reading Robert’s blog was one of a few reasons I started taking blogging seriously. The topics and ideas on many of the blogs I’ve found since then have allowed me to learn numerous things over the last several months about blogging, my job, and myself.
Hopefully, I’ll find some useful nuggets in here that will be useful in my pursuits in promoting blogging at my employer.

Well, someone stole my bike last night. Got home from visiting the parents and my mountain bike was missing from the garage. All I can say is – gee thanks.

Finally, I’ve made a few small breakthroughs on the project I’m working on at work. We’re upgrading our VPN systems and I have been having trouble with our client software upgrading cleanly. Since the software ties into Windows quite deeply, and the end-users who will be running the upgrade manually (they don’t have admin perms), I was starting to get more than a little worried that it wasn’t going to work.
No worries now though, finally found the pieces to get the automated process rolling – and none too soon. Its been taking a lot of my time and I’ve not been able to get back to the blog here on a regular basis. Now that I’m near the end, that headache (its caused a few) is going away.

Found this on Newsome.Org and decided to post mine.
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 161.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence along with these instructions.
5. Don’t search around and look for the coolest book you can find. Do what’s actually next to you.
What I found:
“Tap the other city on the map, or tap the ‘Overview’ button and tap the closest city in the alphabetical list that appears (you can tap the up and down arrows to go through the list, and you can tap ‘Find’ to search for a particular city).”
The nearest book in arms reach to me was “Newton MessagePad Handbook” for the Apple Newton MessagePad 120. I’ve been meaning to put the darn thing away now for a few years… guess that I’m still in awe with it, even next to my T-Mobile MDA. 🙂

Dave Winer has a great post about an interview with Dan Rather. In it Mr. Rather talks briefly about blogging. I really recommend reading the article.
