I'm always intrigued by new services online ... this one shows some interesting potential for the podcaster, but in a different way. The service actually offers anyone the opportunity to create their own online talk show, on their own schedule and gives them a blogging format to post articles and other information as well!
It's very interesting and I've heard some good things about it, so I set up an account for A5 Media (the umbrella company for all of my Internet endeavors) and hope to have my first show going very soon. I will keep you updated, but for now you can check out my show at the link below:

Balancing Priorities and Keeping It Real
Well, it's been over a week since I posted my 'average Joe' post. Geez ... that was depressing, wasn't it? Sorry, just keeping it real ... even in what some would call a great situation (ie, working from home) there are still times when things just don't gel right. Can't explain it, probably never will be able to.
But, for anyone who's interested, I'm moving past that now.
Still working full time, trying to build my little Internet empire and diversify my income all while taking time out for myself and my family. The balancing of priorities with someone who wants more out of life can be truly exhausting. Will it be worth it in the end? I think so ...
So, what am I doing now? Well, I'm still writing search engine pages and I recently picked up a somewhat paid blogging gig with Today.com. I'll be posting a link to that blog here soon. I'm also starting another blog that caters to a niche that I am interested in ... and I'm trying to relax by doing some reading, and eventually, some writing of my own (again).
So there you have it ... see you on the flip side, 'average joe' ;-)

Check It Out: New Blogroll
OK, so before I had a list of "resources" ... whatever that meant.
I went on a search this evening for the elusive WAHD. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that's right ... in search of the work-at-home dad! It's fairly easy to find a nice list of SAHDs (stay-at-home dads), but finding the group that stays there AND manages to work there, all the while being a dad no less, is very tough!
I assure you that I am qualified to do this type of research. I've been online for over 10 years. I've used search engines that pre-dated Google! Of course, they are all gone now, but that's beside the point. Even now, I'm a freelance writer and I provide SeRPs (search engine results pages) for the best human-driven search engine online. However, when it comes to the WAHD, I believe it's an endangered species!
Anyway, my hunting tonight pulled up some new blogs. Now before you go tearing me up, I already know that some of these are not WAHDs, but rather SAHDs. That's okay too ... I picked them because they are witty. So there you have it ... a new blogroll of the blogs that yours truly will be checking out over the next few weeks. Care to join me?

Networking and Writing
Ah, where to begin. The journey never really ends, does it? I've renewed my personal interest in building a network of readers - either through my blog on topics of religious interest, or my articles that I am going to write on everyday events and issues as a citizen journalist.
You see, everything is going great over on my full-time gig. No problems. So why am I going to start stepping out and doing freelance stuff on the side? Well, as the old saying goes, I don't want to have all of my eggs in one basket.
At heart, I really do believe I have it in my to be a writer. Granted, a lot of my writing style is very conversational and opinionated. I don't know if I can stick to the facts and garner a following as a reputable citizen journalist without wavering into the passion zone of my writing, so-to-speak. I really want to continue this blog, and develop an outlet for my other articles as well.
I've taken another look at Associated Content, Helium as well as another writing gig that I've signed up for - Natural News. None of these are paying big bucks, although Helium does have a marketplace section where real publishers are paying decent money for articles that are picked out of the crowded competition. Of more interest to me over there right now is their current involvement with the Pulitzer prize people as well as the National Press Club. Now there are two groups that it would pay to be associated with as a writer!
Keep your eyes on the blog here, and I will be passing along my profile(s) as well as a link (or two) to my writing outlet blogs. Hopefully you're up for the ride ...
