The secret to making money on the web isn’t all that secret. You need to have something to say that people wanna hear, or see, or read or whatever.
Now don’t get me wrong, I make no claims that my content is compelling or in any other way worth your time. I just spout stuff that’s […]

The b5 servers are crawling today, so my apologies to those trying to get to my stuff.
Apparently, Lindsey Lohan took her clothes off and that has caused the b5media servers to get slammed (umm, with traffic that is).
I’m not quite sure how that affects me except I got an email alluding to that event as […]

Working on about three different projects myself (all within the Dark Energy Survey, but still…), it was nice to read that I’m not the only one.
You know a blog is good when you read things like this:
That’s very kind of you, Adam. But, realistically, what I have to say would be as substantial as a […]

[Very busy today cleaning up the dark energy someone spilled in the colloquium room earlier today (I hate being the new guy), so I don’t have time for much of a post. I’ve been meaning to get the word out about this cool site maintained by one of my colleagues and today’s a good day […]

Being a part of a network has, for the most part, been very good for me. If I were doing this alone, my posts would have been unacceptably infrequent and the blog would probably have died.
Having expectations, ones where people expect you to post content and pay you for it, has been a good […]

It would be soooo easy to write a post about my New Year’s Blogging Resolutions, but I’m not gonna do it. Nope.
Keep posts short and write about five per day (yeah, right).
Write more about me (enough about me, what do YOU think of me?)
Have some contests and generally pander to my readers. (I […]

Whew! I can hardly believe it. I’ve been at this blogging thing for one year now.
According to my WordPress stats, I’ve posted 264 times and I have 913 comments. (I’m surprised I’ve had 264 things to say, actually). I have 191 people subscribed to my feed and about 650 new people […]

Is almost never like this:
In fact, this is the first Christmas I can remember in 30 Christmases that we’ve EVER had snow on Christmas day. The days between November and February are usually the dry time in Colorado, everything is brown, crispy and dull.
This year was great, and last year we did have a […]

As you can see from this picture, I’m now 50 feet tall and command superhuman abilities. (What? Nothing’s gone to my head or anything, I’m still a regular joe, it’s just that I’ve turned into superblogger and people must now bow before me. Other than than, nothing much has changed really.)
It looks like […]

And 25,000 the day before that.
They all came to read my post about my decision to homeschool my son in science this year.
It is so unsettling to have so many people respond to something I’ve written.
This is the third time something like this has happened to me. The first time was when I made […]
