Pulling Out Of BlogBurst

I've decided to pull one of my blogs out of the BlogBurst Network, due to the fact that content theft on several of my blogs is getting out of hand. Although this is a "sign of popularity," I have decided to remove my space blog from its ranks before it became to popular.

Although this may hurt my blog in the short term, I feel like this will benefit me in the long run.

I may also decide to launch a mini-blog network to serve as a "home" for all of these blogs, as Google seems to be compensating me nicely for maintaining eloquent posts.

Hot Air As Google News Source?

I noticed this after I published and article on The Blog Herald.

Here is a screen shot for the world to enjoy:



I guess now they can stop whining about how the world doesn't love them.

Exit Question: With Hot Air being listed, does that mean that Google News is no longer biased towards liberals?

Exit Question 2: Am I sounding like Allah Pundit? And is Allah Pundit even a Muslim?

No Honor Among Thieves?

Apparently their is a site stealing content from one of my weblogs, Inside Orkut.

I am not going to mention the site here (or the host) but I hope to resolve this issue privately in order to spare the hosting company bad media that can be picked up by the ever vigilant Google bots (aka Google spiders).

I've ran into this problem before, but thankfully the person in question last time apologized and complied (in essence, removed the offending posts as well as the site).

Hopefully a peaceful solution can be found as I have better things to do than dealing with content theft.

Update (1/11): Problem was resolved. Thanks Mr. [Host Company]!

Why Are Personal Blogs So Depressing?

It almost seems like every personal blog I come across (at least with friends) is either depressing, semi-depressed, or uber-geekified like me (hey, at least they are happy).

Is the world really that bad?

Finished Christmas Shopping...

So I finished Christmas shopping today, although I still have to "prepare the gifts" for that day of celebration. (more info regarding that later)

Meanwhile I think I am going to be blogging light for a while as I have some non-geek related activities to take care of.

For those of you who celebrate it (and for those of you who don't) Merry Christmas! (and a happy new year!)

Can You See Me?

Google (or rather Blogger) seems to be not showing my personal journal. Sigh...and I try so hard.

Keeping The Faith

So after several other editors decided to leave the Blog Herald (with two of them blogging over at 901 am) I've decided to stay and blog on.

Besides, it's teaching me a lot about how to write and interact with people (especially of different minds, cultures, etc.). How could I leave something like that?

Did I mention I'm excited to be working with Abe?
