Easton Ellsworth has posted an article over on Performancing about the three tools he uses to track his conversations & comments. He uses a combination of coComment, del.icio.us, and co.mments. Head on over and joint join the discussion.
Alright, I finally went and did it this past weekend. I’ve gone ahead with my idea of creating a snowmobiling focused blog, called Snowmoblog.
So I thought I didn’t have time to write on one blog, eh, well now there’ll be two to keep up. In all honesty, the idea keeps me going. Work sucks, and I needed a creative outlet that I have a great passion about. The fun part (I’m hoping) is to have that outlet and be able to talk about blogging, web, and technical related things here at RickMahn.com. If you are into snowmobiling, check it out over the next few weeks – its in a rough form right now, but it will start coming together as I work out the kinks.
Snowmoblog is powered by WordPress, and I’ve got a temporary 3-column theme that will work for now, though I’ll be working on a custom theme for that site as well as this one in my spare time. The hard part will be the graphics, as I’ve mentioned before, it is just outside my capabilities sometimes so I may need to outsource that part.
Kathy Sierra has a great post called Do Something Scary. She quotes Eleanor Roosevelt who said “Do one thing every day that scares you”, and continues talking about trying new things (taking risks) and expanding your experiences. This is something I’ve been trying to do for the last few weeks, and have had a few minor successes (at least in my book), so I’m going to keep tacking new risks, try new things.
The post is a really good read, you should also check out Death by risk-aversion, another post by Kathy.
Robert Scoble has a post about a new OPML sharing service that Dave Winer is launching. You can read all about it at TechCrunch.
Uploaded my OPML file of all my current feeds, and browsed around the service. Its really quite interesting the ways you can sort and look up information on different feeds. Neat stuff!
Thank you Dave!
Are you a coComment user? Tired of having to click on the coComment bookmarklet every time you post? Do you use Firefox?
If so, the new Firefox Extension from coComment might be of interest.

@MAC_Arms Pay taxes when you make your money, pay taxes when you spend your money, pay taxes when you successfully invest your money, pay taxes when you save enough taxed money to afford a house, pay taxes to live in your house, pay taxes when you sell the house that you paid taxes on to
Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
I think it’s safe to say that @GovEvers should stop blocking audits in Wisconsin and open the books…
“Only AMERICAN citizens should vote.”
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
Wrong. Democrats are solely responsible for hours-long airport lines.
They voted to defund TSA three times and won’t even entertain a conversation about reopening it. Why?
They’re using it as leverage to stop enforcing immigration laws.
