So here’s what I’ve been up to now that school’s out.

1. Corporate Job

Blah! Not my first choice, but it’s keeping me alive financially for now. Also is giving me an excuse to use on my folks before breaking the news about being an entrepreneur.

2. City of Heroes/Villains

I renewed my subscription and also created an account for my girlfriend so we could play together.

That plan blew up in my face.

She just didn’t enjoy the slower power system compared to more immediate actions in Diablo, World of Warcraft or Left 4 Dead.

Still, I’ve got a one month subscription if anyone else wants to play! (I mean play with me, not on her account. I don’t know what I’m going to do with that…) xP

3. Reading Pam Slim’s Escape From Cubicle Nation

A very good read. I tend to read these books several times, once to just get a feel for it and see what its all about and afterwards to find out what I need to take actions on.

I’m still on my first read through and will probably post about my action items when I’m done.

4. Deciding on a posting schedule.

I’ve also been reading/reviewing the great works that have been giving me the inspiration for this blog, namely Chris Guillebeau’s 279 Days and Brief Guide to World Domination, and Chris Garrett’s ebook Killer Flagship Content. (You have to sign up for email updates for Chris Garrett and it’s been well worth it for me so far)

All great works, well worth many reads, and best of all FREE.

One of the things Chris Guillebeau writes about in 279 days is the steps he took to get his blog off the ground and how the same could work for regular folks like you and me.

So I’m working it out and following some of the easier steps, but I was pretty much picking and choosing whatever felt right. Up until now, I’ve been pretty much posting at will, whenever I got the mood. But that hasn’t been working too well from a traffic and audience standpoint so I’m going to follow his advice and CREATE A POSTING SCHEDULE!

Here’s the announcement, POSTS WILL BE MADE EVERY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

I guess this blog is going to be just like a weekend hobby for me until I figure out what my next steps are.

Comments on what you’d like to see next or advice on the direction I should take the blog? Let me know in the comments!
