Haha, before I listen to the podcast I saw that you guys mentioned my Typepad blog….. so I might as well just say I’m going to let it die. It’s been around since July 2003 and was the jump-off that helped me gain some initial linkage/popularity, but writing about personal stuff doesn’t have the allure it once had. I think the reason is that I used to think my personal life was more interesting than my business opinions, but now I feel it’s flipped, but maybe I’m wrong. Okay, time to listen…

Good stuff Matt … I especially liked the first 3 minutes of the podcast :)

And your dreams: admit it, you’re worried where I’m going to go with my column seeing that you gave me 100% editorial control. You’re worried that after I settle into my role here I’m gonna cause a shirt-storm of good old-fashioned linkbaiting, controversy ;)

Be afraid, be very afraid ;)
