From the Editor at A Writer’s Edge
The printed page
Is all we have.
I feel no sweeping psychic perceptions.
I guess we’re not
Tuned in on the same beam.
The written word
Is all
That passes between us.
Not spoken.
Not seen.
Not felt.
Just read.
But how much do I read
Into your words,
And how much do you read
Between my lines?

One year ago, I happened to hear that there was this PodCamp thing about to happen in Boston. It was an unconference and free to all participants. PodCamp, related to podcasting, maybe? But what is an unconference? Sounded like it might be better than a conference. The fact that it was happening in Boston and [...]
I am fortunate to know some of the fabulous posters to this blog. In fact, I’ve been invited to post here, since, I believe, the beginning of this collaboration.
I’m drawn to finally post at the urging of Phil Gerbyshak. (A show of hands for everyone reading this who has done something positive at [...]
I can’t begin to tell you how the Internet would have changed my life, had it been around when I was a kid.
In my own home town, I was considered a bit of a freak by almost every other kid in school. Worse, any freakishness that went unnoticed was only spared me because I hid [...]
We could also have called this post How to help people to see what you see.
It stems from a conversation Pete Aldin had with an entrepreneur friend of his in Australia. The man felt that his staff and partners seem to always translate his goals & ideas into work & problems rather than into possibilities & innovation.
His ultimate vision is about resourcing latent [...]
NiagaraFalls: Dolores at the end of my rainbow

Sometimes you don’t have to go too far to find what you are looking for.
I made the connection with Dolores 27 years ago. Since we have been successfully married for 25, I think that is something.

Bloggers are connectors. Everyone who creates a blog, and shares part of the world of citizen publishing and citizen broadcasting. There is much more to the relationships than simple connections. People are more than dots on a map. They are your friends, clients, customers, business partners, and extended family.
Whether writers, video blog developers, or verbal [...]
It’s fascinating to read the myriad variations on our theme of connections this month. We can read posts about connecting ideas, people, stuff, and even how sunshine connects.
Last week, after spending 5 days at Wizard Training Camp, I am reminded how essential it is to connect to the present . . . as in “moment.”
Yes, you and I have [...]
I either sign my name in one or two ways on blog comments or forums. In more formal or business like settings I will use the name people call me all the time, Patrick. I also have an Internet nickname I go by, that being “linkerjpatrick.” One of the first places I used [...]
Hello, I’m Dwayne, and I’m an Infoholic.
I admit it - I’m an information junkie. I do lots of things to feed my habit - I read books, magazines, and blogs. I watch “How It’s Made,” the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, Science Channel, Food Network, etc. I listen to talk radio, podcasts, [...]
Hey, gang, I’m going to be on Internet radio tomorrow morning (Tuesday, August 7, from 10:00 AM until noon, New York time).
That’s Tuesday, August 7, 2007 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM GMT. (For your own local time, try the World Clock converter.)
Update: it looks like we might be on for as many as four [...]
When I was a manager at BellSouth, we were looking for some Web programmers to help us build the Internet Yellow Pages. We started by interviewing established firms we had used before, but we ran into one problem after another.
They wanted the rights to the code when they were finished. They wanted to charge us [...]
The year 2006 was the year of social networking - myspace, facebook, xanga, you-tube and many other media created avenues through which people interacted at many levels. 2007 for me has been and continues to be a year of connectedness, connections and connecting. (2006 was the year of Quantum Leaps). My thinking, actions and results in every aspect [...]
Phil Gerbyshak’s initiative in asking this group of bloggers what we want out of the 100 Bloggers experience inspired me to take a closer look at my own feelings about the blog.
What have I enjoyed about it? Why don’t I blog here more often?
I found myself drawing connections… between my experience of the blog and [...]
