Blog Safari 9-10-08
I had an absolute blast this week reading blogosphere posts about the brain and inspiration. Here are some I stumbled along the way. Please stumble them all, they are very deserving.
52 Sunday Evening Meditations on Life | Marc and Angel Hack Life
Great list of 52 “mantras” or meditations. Give ‘em a read.
ALEXEY [...]Las Vegas and Vacation Psychology
In my case, I am glad that what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Sometimes it makes it to a blog and other people get to experience it too.
Is Constant Improvement Possible?
When I was in high school, I ran track and field. My coach would always tell us that runners with commitment were more important than those with talent. For example, I recall one runner who for four years constantly took first place. He was valuable, but he was a flake and his [...]
Interview with Michelle of “It Might be Love”
You know it isn’t often I run across a blog and instantly become a fan. That’s how it was for me a few months ago when I found It Might be Love. Of course I am a hopeless romantic so this blog appealed to me right away. It’s an unobtrusive, unassuming blog [...]
9 Aspects of Classic Great Writing
You know it’s fitting that today when I went looking for a Twain photo I found one that was under a “reusable media” license. That is kind of a metaphor for what my 9 Authors, 9 Aspects of Powerful Writing guest post is about over at Confident Writing. One commenter there, Jim Murdoch, [...]
Finding Inspiration Close to Home
Katelynn is a writer I ran across recently with a real hunger to write and connect through her writing. She has a very upbeat tone in all her posts and I was lucky to get her to guestblog at Postcards today. There is more 411 on her in the footer of this [...]

Suggestive and Summative Titles Make Bloghoppers Stay
I see the biggest challenge to blog authors today as keeping visitors on their site long enough to have an impact through their writing. I’ve seen and heard the effective traffic brought on by games and gimmicks for shiny items like designer jewelry. I wonder if that traffic really reads their stuff though. [...]
Truckers and Travelers Welcome
There’s a lesson for business and communication in this sign. The Cocky Bull is on a highway for truckers and travelers. Therefore they cater to that in their slogan. Can you imagine if they were catering to surfers? Miners? I think you get the idea. We need to reach out to the people in our [...]
How I Write Songs
A long running hobby throughout my life has been songwriting. I think I wrote my first song in 7th grade, the chorus went something like this:
You’re out of reach, out of reach
I try to reach you try to make you believe
But you’re out of reach . . . to reach your peak.
Okay okay, [...]
