great post chris. I explain to people all the time why I blog and videoblog. So many people (in AZ) have no idea of the online world and what it can do for them.

I would like to add that you should probably create personal media for even a small audience. I have seen blogs by people who simply want a way to let their family know what they are doing. If you are away at college, you can blog to your parents and friends from back home. You may want to share photos and video of the new baby with your extended family.

Your content can even be a directed to yourself as an audience. What you create can even be a scrapbook of your memories of great people you’ve encountered and great times you’ve had. You don’t realize how many lives you touch simply because the personal media isn’t there.

One final thought is that you should try to create personal media because it is increasingly important to learn how to produce media, in general, in the way that learning how to type and how to use a computer is. Even if you don’t work in New Media, learning how to create personal media is an asset. If that doesn’t sell you on it, then keep in mind that the biggest asset is that you will have learned how to tell your story.

Hi, I ran across your article in lifehack on ‘BE and wireless hotspot’ and thought you might be interested in this if you haven’t seen it yet.

Its a comment I left on the article before I realized it was from 06′:

Umm…has anyone looked at this? http://www.cradlepoint.com

That KR1 is too big to put in your pocket but works in a car. This buggar, however, is teeny (the CTR). I’ve used it with a Verizon modem/dongle. It rocks. Wireless network where ever you get a cell signal.

Nice picture. It would have been easier for you to include the photo in this post if flickr provided HTML for you to copy and paste, huh?

I just blogged about flickr’s lack of accessible HTML yesterday.

I’ve talked to people at flickr about this, and they acknowledge it as a new feature request.

Zoomer has it. Flickr should too.

Once upon a time, years ago, when I occasionally shaved my head to help force my clients to think outside their corporate image, a very conservative client asked me point blank “why do you shave your head?”

I said, “because I’m a Head Shaver! — and it works.”

Why do I blog? Because I’m a blogger, and it works. It helps me reach my goals — certainly BOTH business AND personal.
