Business has been picking up steadily in the past few months. I’m getting busier and I’m still learning how to incorporate the blog into my work schedule. Today is a catch up and get ahead day for blogging.

I’m studying a few sources for improving the blog. The stuff I’m into includes:

• Blogging, Biz Stone, New Riders, 2003.
• blog!, Kline and Burnstein, Squibnocket, 2005.
• Weblog Handbook, Rebecca Blood, Perseus, 2002.
• W3schools.com

We’re not yet a Powell’s partner (affiliate) yet, and we will be soon. That means that if you want to buy something that we recommend, we’ll take a small percentage on the sale. Our intention is to pool all of that money and hopefully treat ourselves to a $3 philharmonic coffee from Philz, like once per year. I am drinking coffee again, just not Farmer Brothers, and I don’t feel sick anymore.

With any luck I’ll learn to better pace my posts for a steadier stream of new content. Some have cautioned me that it’s potentially a time hole and a money loser. I’d say that so far it has taken a lot of time and energy. I’m learning a lot about the process and having fun.

A lovely delegate of Mexican designers (Karen and Naxieli) came to visit the Plan Resonate studio for the past five days. We spent a lot of time conducting local primary market research, and meeting with some clients. Thanks to everyone who helped make their visit a lot of fun.

Next week I’ll be tending to business in northern Michigan, and spending Christmas with family. I’ll most likely be out of internet contact for about a week.

Reader feedback of the day: “How did you get my email?”
