I’m exhausted. I was up until 2:30 AM last night working on a redesign and re-implementation of this site, and I ended up getting less than four hours of sleep. Usually, getting that little sleep would destroy me the next day. I’ve come to realize that I need a reasonable amount of sleep at night [...]

Tiring of life hacks, and other stuff that clutters my mind
There’s a problem with life hacks: diminishing returns. There are only so many tweaks you can make that are going to make your life easier. Crossing the line into tweaking for the sake of tweaking is far too easy, and I’ve come to realize that I crossed that line literally years ago. I used to follow [...]
Testing out MacJournal
I’m just briefly testing out MacJournal here to see how it does with uploading to a WordPress blog. This is an update I’m doing to this post to see if apostrophe’s are now being properly handled. Please note: I’ve moved my active blogging over to a new site, called Jason Clarke – Infinite Bass Line. [...]
More high-profile blogger bellyaching
Back in July, Robert Scoble wouldn’t stop talking about the wonder that is Facebook (search for the word Facebook on this page, for example). Then, less than a week ago, he posts a very honest and interesting look at the truth about web traffic – the truth being that there simply isn’t as much traffic [...]
Testing Ecto
I’ve been reading quite a bit about the latest beta version of Ecto, and decided that I had to try it out for myself. Typically I’m not big on external editors for blogs, however I have to say this one is growing on me, and I’ve only been using it for about four minutes. I [...]
Pirillo, Scoble and me at NorthernVoice
I happened across this photo on Flickr of the Windows Vista demo that Robert Scoble gave at NorthernVoice, with help from Chris Pirillo. It shows Pirillo, Scoble and me at the table. Please note: I’ve moved my active blogging over to a new site, called Jason Clarke – Infinite Bass Line. I will leave this [...]
Moosecamp: Leadership Hacks by Dave Sifry
This session was an unexpected treat. I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing Dave Sifry (of Technorati) speak before now, but it’s clear he was born to do it. He made great use of the time he had. The first half of his talk was a brief lecture, lessons he has learned in being an [...]
Moosecamp: Tagging Session
[Update: The host of the tagging session, Phillip Jeffrey commented below, allowing me to update the text with the correct name of the presenter. He also mentions other notables taking part in the conversation during the session. Thanks Phillip!] Note: This post was written in a very stream-of-consciousness manner during the Tagging session at Northern [...]
Moosecamp: (Really) Monetizing Your Blog
This presentation is being done by the creator of X:Posted (pronounced cross posted). The idea here is that rather than trying to earn money from your blog using advertising, you can use their system as a broker to sell your individual posts. Their concept is that overburdened corporate bloggers, non-profits, and potentially even mainstream media [...]
Moosecamp – morning
Funniest moment this morning: Arrived and signed in, and walked up to the list of sessions posted on the wall. Two other guys were standing there. One comments “Interesting, all the sessions seem to be relating to citizen journalism and media”, to which the other responds “yeah, it’s like a wet dream.” Our laughing got [...]
