No scientific data used to determine this list, but the recognition alone is worth mentioning. Kyle Lacy and Lorraine Ball put their heads together and named the “Top 50 Bloggers in Indianapolis” and yours truly made the list. Good way to build in-bound links, eh? Lesson learned Internet Marketing gurus, name a “Top 50″ list [...]

There are only two shows that I watch on television: America’s Got Talent and 24. Now most guys will admit the Jack Bauer fix, but watching America’s Got Talent is a lot like riding a moped: fun to drive but you don’t want your friends catching you on one.
Hosted by my favorite afternoon show host, [...]

Our community hosted it’s first Geist Half Marathon & 5K race yesterday, and running it was tough. My feet and legs never got tired. I didn’t even break a sweat. Actually, I’m the president of this great not for profit organization so I was “running” or “managing” the day’s activities which went off flawlessly.
For all [...]

Some Indiana-based bloggers are organizing the first-ever Blog Indiana Conference on August 16th & 17th at IUPUI in downtown Indianapolis. I’m going to speak on a subject or two, not sure what exactly yet, but I’m game. Blogging has matured quite a bit in the last 10 years, from “online diaries” to “business applications.” We [...]

In my previous life (dot com days), I used to fly all over the world and talk on the topic of convergence. My thesis was simple: eventually all data, video, phone calls, audio, video would be delivered via an Internet protocol (IP) based platform. I always talked about this convergence from the device-side of things; [...]

Okay, it was only a matter of time, but I finally have broken the “radio” publishing barrier by starting a local podcast show called the Geist Radio Show. My neighbor and I get together on our back patio on Friday afternoons and record a podcast for local Geist residents. So far, the response has been [...]

I was recently at the San Diego State University Writers’ Conference giving my talk on “Leveraging the Internet to Market Your Book” when a lightbulb went off in my head. Over the past 10 years, I’ve tried to stay up with the growth, adoption, and technology around the Internet as more of a hobby than [...]

It’s been awhile since I’ve updated everyone on how the atFishers.com experiment is going. Truth be told, it is not going as well as I thought; however, things are beginning to look up this month. We started the website in July 2006 and launched the print publication in August. Frankly, we should have waited until [...]

Now that I’ve been doing a local portal for over three years, one thing that I realized is that the tone and journalistic style of “local” is not AP Stylebook.
