Adam’s Interweb

So, it’s been nearly 2 months since I last blogged…  I’ve had quite a few things going on in those two months, probably as much or more than when I first moved to TN.  I started remodeling my kitchen - the counter-tops will be delivered on Friday if all goes as planned, then I’ll get the sink in and things will be all good.  I also changed jobs - I went from a relatively huge public company with 55K-ish employees to a little bitty private software company.  It’s been quite a change, but it’s great - it’s exactly the type of job I was looking for and I’m enjoying the people there (although I do still miss the people at the previous employer).  Overall though, it was the right move and I have no regrets.  Anyway - I plan to start blogging a few times a week at least from now on, but we’ll see what happens.

I’ve been a loyal reader of Business 2.0 for quite a few years now.  It is one of the only magazines to which I subscribe.  I really look forward to getting it each month to see all of the new business ideas and to read the magazine’s take on various things.  Well, I just received my October copy and this is the end of the road for Business 2.0.  Apparently they never figured out how to get/keep advertisers interested in the magazine and it the magazine’s parent company decided it didn’t bring in enough cash to trouble with keeping the magazine alive.  Some of the staff are going to write for Fortune, but I just don’t think it’ll be the same.  All of the other magazines are stuffed with ads, so I may buy a 100 page magazine, but only 40 of the pages are actual content…and I’m not interested in flipping through ad after ad to find a handful of stories that interest me - so I doubt I’ll pick up a subscription to anything else to replace Business 2.0.  Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

Recently, I decided I don’t like using this particular URL for my personal finance blog (called “The Business of Life”).  So, I’ve updated the site (both the theme and Wordpress), removed the old posts, and I’m ready to start again.  If you’re looking for the old posts, well, for the time being, they don’t exist anymore.  But, they will return to the internet in some form in a bit, but at a different URL (and I’m not going to mention the URL because I decided the finance blog should be more anonymous to be useful).  So sorry for any confusion with people looking for old posts, but the stats didn’t show all that many people looking at most of the pages anyway.

As far as this new blog goes, you can expect to see just about anything here - well, except work stuff.  Since I work for a public company and such, I won’t be talking about work on here.  Everything else is fair game - we’ll just see where things go from here.
