I often find myself recommending to people that they could start a blog. Whether it is one of my web clients, or a One To One member at the Apple store, there are many reasons to have and use a blog. The funny thing is, when I say that, folks are often at least confused,…

Microblogging
Have you heard the term “microblogging” bantered about these days? Perhaps you’ve heard of the most popular microblogging platform, Twitter? It certainly has some legs these days. There are all sorts of options out there, Twitter and Tumblr are two popular ones I have tried. (I really don’t use Twitter, and I have stopped using…
Absence Explained
Y’all may have noticed that it’s been verrrrry quiet around here lately. I’ve explained it before, but before I post a couple different things here today, I thought I’d try to explain again… I’M BUSY!!! :-) I’ve been working even more hours at Apple now as a “Creative” (and totally loving it!) and still have…
RE: Blogging
What I have noticed over my five years of blogging is that blogging is very much about the moment. If I try to get to something later, maybe even get a few paragraphs into a draft version here, it never happens. Or, if it could, it doesn’t seem relevant anymore. (To either reader or writer.)…
Five Years of Blogging
Believe it or not, I have been at this “blogging” thing for five years now. Today. August 26th, 2003 was my first post, and now almost 1400 posts later, I’m still at it. (Albeit, quite infrequently this past month or two!) I love this avenue to share thoughts, start discussions, share links and information, and…
A Picture of 54,000 Words
I followed a link to a pretty fun site yesterday. It’s called Wordle, and lets you take any text, or URL, or feed from any site and make a random word picture from the text that you give it. Very fun, actually! I did a couple more images. First, when I just took the text…
Ads
You may have noticed that there is now a little rotating ad banner here at GregsHead.net? That was added (not all that easily!) yesterday to give the site a slightly new appearance, and to allow you – the reader – a chance to both find some great services we recommend, and support GregsHead at the…
[Things That Are Weird] Wiper Fluid Containers
Does anyone else wonder why windshield wiper fluid is sold in a container/amount that is only slightly more than fits in your empty windshield wiper fluid dispenser in your vehicle? I have never understood this. And I don’t believe I ever will. I will often just hand a container like this to the nearest person…
This Day in (GregHead.net) History
An idea popped into my head today. (Yes, that would be GregsHead…) I thought, I wonder what things I have blogged about on this day in my four-plus years of blogging? So, I set out to discover what was in the archives for January 25th. To my suprise, excluding entries from this January 25th (today)…
Willow Creek Repents?
I saw a quick post by a friend today linking to an article about Willow Creek perhaps “repenting” of it’s church/business model? I don’t think it’s that groundbreaking, as it seems WCCC is just going in a different “business” direction, but it’s still pretty interesting to see them find that the super elaborate programs aren’t…
