Thought Sparks

Actually this blog started in February of 2007 but I figured it’s worth noting all the same. It’s been an interesting ride. The blog started slowly premiering on blogspot before metriculating over to its own domain shortly thereafter. Spring, summer and early fall were quite an active season for the site. The winter has been a bit slower with gaps in posting. I could probably write a good post on how to kill blog momentum.

This site has been an interesting platform to post tech and productivity tips as well as an array of diverse commentary. The most interesting aspect of the blog has been the wonderful comments back from folks who have helped enrich the site with their wit and wisdom. An off-shoot of thoughtsparks.net has been the birth of techfires.com which with the help of Scott Blitstein from mythermos.com continues to offer a very focused serving of useful web-related resources.

So where from here in this blogging journey? Well, as the date stamps would indicate of late the frequency of postings is on the rise. Like many bloggers, thoughtspark.net is at its core a personal blog. I do hope to delve more into video and multimedia this year on a professional level which will open opportunities for publishing to thoughtsparks.net as well. Lately I’ve been given the opportunity to feed my dream of making videos.

Thoughtsparks will also be a chronicle for some interesting trips this year. Next week I’ll be in New York for the Seach Engine Strategies conference. This summer we are heading off to California for a two week trip back to Salinas to visit friends from twenty years ago when I worked there as a young lad.

Thanks for stopping by. Let’s keep in touch dear friends.
